Gazette Tested – Oatmeal Pancakes

Pancakes are a popular breakfast food, but after a while the usual chocolate chips and fruit add-ins can get boring. To spice up your pancakes, you can add oats to your mix. We found this adds a bit more substance and will fill you up for longer than regular pancakes. The Gazette tested this oatmeal pancake recipe and found it easy and delicious. To add a bit of extra flavour you can use maple butter instead of regular butter to top off your pancakes. It only takes about 20 minutes to make this healthy and balanced breakfast.
