How long has it been since I’ve made an oatmeal pancake!?
I’ve seen a few in blogland and decided today was as good a day as any since we restocked our egg supply yesterday. I used to always make them with carton egg whites, but I don’t buy them any more (not because I think they are “bad” but because I wasn’t using them anymore over real eggs). I think these are better with just egg white, but I hate wasting a yolk (or saving them and having them go bad) so I just used the whole egg. Still turns out fine though.
I mixed 1/3 cup oats, 1/2 an egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, a tbsp of milk and vanilla into 2 ramekins and then added 2 tbsp mashed banana to each.
Put on a medium hot skillet and mash down. They are ready for flipping when they move when you shake the pan.
Topping included the rest of the mashed bananas mixed with some PB2!
And coconut, syrup and a dollop of White Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter
Matt made us some new coffee. Sea Island Coffee specializes in rare and exotic coffees from around the world and recently opened shop for online purchasing. They asked if I’d like to try them. I’m not sure if they are shipping to the USA yet, but in England shipping is free!
Combined with rich 2% milk, this was one delicious cup of coffee!!!!!! It had that classic coffee taste with no bitterness and lots of body. Liked it a lot!

I’m doing a few things online and then Matt and I are going to the gym in a bit.

Ellen @ Peace in Motion says
mmmm the pancake looks so yummy! I’m going to have to try that one
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Yay, blogger summit in 3 days! That pancake looks delicious – I love topping my pancakes and waffles with mashed banana and peanut butter.
petunia says
LOVE oatmeal pancakes. They are just so much more hearty than regular. You know what would be amazing on these for brunch? A dollop or two of frozen banana whip and blueberries!
Oh, love breakfast!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
Mmm – looks delicious Kath. I just made oatmeal pancakes myself the other weekend and they came out SO GOOD.
Yay for The Healthy Living Summit being soon! So exciting 🙂
Lizzy says
i need to try that oatmeal pancake asap! as i was reading my mouth was watering because it looked so good! yumm!!!!
jesstooimpress says
those look beyond amazing! and I just bought a bunch of bananas, I think this recipe is in the works for breakfast tommorow. if ihop was good for you, I’d probably live there.. I love pancakes!
Suzanne says
Speaking of pancakes….are any of you from the NYC/NJ area?
If so, I’m sure you have ate/heard of the pancakes at Clinton St. Baking Company? I just had them for the second time yesterday. OMG. The BEST!
Kath, if you’re every in NYC…I’ll take you there! 🙂
Sorry – but these delectable fluffers of goodness are the real deal (eggs, butter, maple syrup, etc.!) Big taste, lots of calories. But, it’s SO worth it!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Those pancakes look amazing! They’re so fluffy and thick. What a perfect comfort food breakfast!
Sandhiya says
Kath, is this going to be a pancake monday..with your leftover potato turnip pancake for lunch? I want pancake right now…
Mandy A says
This is definitely one of my stand by meals 🙂 I have to eat on the go for breakfast during the week… oatmeal pancakes are very portable!
kay (eating machine) says
those look good! I’ve made pancakes with oats, but never with just oats, and no flour! Now I’ve go something new to try….
HeatherBakes says
I’d totally forgotten about oatmeal pancakes! Thanks for the reminder 🙂 They’re so much easier to throw together than regular pancakes… and taste better, too.
Pam says
I’ve been living off oatmeal pancakes – yum!!
rhodeygirl says
wow the summit is so soon!!!!!!!!!!!! fun fun FUNNNN. i feel like i’ve missed SO much in blogland over the last 3 weeks… trying to catch up now!
Kristilyn says
That pancake looks delicious! Yum. 🙂
I used to get the cartoned egg whites, too, but found I missed yolk. They are good for baking, but I still don’t use them too often with that – they would end up getting tossed and I hate doing that!
Enjoy the gym!

Andee (Runtolive) says
Hi Kath,
How do you get the pancake not to stick on the griddle? I always have a hard time and end up ruining my skillet. Is cooking spray enough? Thanks!
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
Those look YUMMY! When I make oatmeal pancakes, I make them protein pancakes with fat free ricotta or cottage cheese. They come out awesome. Oh, and being oats don’t have gluten, I omit the baking soda/powder because it won’t rise anyway.
Jenn
Deva says
Your pancakes look soooo good!
Sarah K says
Whoa Kath, big news on the blog product-placement front: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/08/10/mommy.bloggers.ethics/index.html
“Women bloggers launch ‘Blog with Integrity,’ ‘PR Blackout’ campaigns”
Difficult to Decipher says
Hi Kath
‘I can’t quite read your blog lately…all your apostrophes seem to appear as a weirdish symbol,really hard to read.
I am in Canada-any other Canucks having same problem as me?
thanks
Ansley says
YUMMM coconut and oats. Lovely combo.
ANNDDDD Kath dear I’ve got a new blog now – www.sweetnessstrumpet.wordpress.com so please if you could, update your blogroll, danke schoen!
Becci says
I’ve been meaning to try those pancakes! I have everything to do it, maybe this week while I’m on vacation!
Jenn Eats Nutritiously Now says
That looks so scrumptious!
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
What a good idea! I’ll have to try out these oatmeal pancakes some time.
Kate says
Those look delicious. The nut butter sounds awesome! I’ll have to make some tomorrow a.m.
I just ate a blog-worthy lunch, and thought of you! A fresh ‘mater and a “peaches & cream” corn on the cob (nuked in micro with husk on for 2 min). Both veggies dressed in S&P. A sandwich on 5 grain Publix bread with: laughing cow swiss cheese wedge and basil pesto on one side, apple butter on the other side and turkey breast and baby swiss in the middle! I did not want it to end. You should really try it! Apple Butter + Pesto = YUM
brandi says
love it – i’m obsessed with those pancakes lately! so many good topping options.
i’ve made all kinds of versions:
cinnamon roll
smores
pb & j
cannoli
savory with eggs, avocado, salsa
yum
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Mmmm, looks like a fantastic breakfast!
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
Yum, that pancake looks awesome!
alexis says
I still see the symbols too (and am in Canada but I don’t think that has anything to do with it).
The strange thing is, when I hit “comment” and the new page loads, the text is fine and an apostrophe looks like an apostrophe.
Kristen says
Those pancakes look delicious! I love switching from my everyday bowl of oats using this recipe. The addition of coconut flakes and the White Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter looks amazing as well. Have a great day!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
perky pancake indeed! Those sure would wake me up – they look DELISH!
Emily (A Nutritionist Eats) says
Those pancakes sound great! So easy too!
Sarah (LovIN My Tummy) says
My pancakes aren’t so perky these days. If only they would move when I shake….
Meggilizz--Meggie's Munchies says
Coffee and oatmeal-banana-coconut-pancakes would get me out of bed any day of the week!! Great looking breakfast 🙂 I bet your house smelled delicious for hours after.
Jess says
I’ve made your oatmeal pancake before and I like it a lot. It’s been awhile for me too!
Heather @ Sugar & Spice says
Wow – this oatmeal pancake looks amazing, Kath. I will have to make one of my own this week! Can’t wait to see you in Boston – sooo excited for the summit!
Sara says
I LOVE your oatmeal pancakes! They are SO good…but now that you mention it, it’s been awhile since I’ve made one too. Maybe later this week. 🙂
K says
I’m loving the toppings for that pancake! One of these days I need to break out my pan and make my own 🙂
Hallie (Healthy Twists) says
Mmm it’s funny how GOOD a good cup of coffee can be and how nasty a bad one is. I can’t have coffee until after Halloween, I’m not sure if I’ll make it through!
KatieTX says
I saw the strange symbols a couple days ago at home using firefox, but on internet explorer at work I do not see them.
Eve says
YUM – I love pancakes! They look delicious. I need to experiment with my PB2
Danielle says
What a great breakfast, those pancakes look delightful.
Nicole says
Yum! Can’t go wrong with a pancake.
Kath says
Andee (Runtolive),
I have a non-stick griddle and use cooking spray.
Sarah K,
I heard about PR Blackout week. I think it all just boils down to honesty and not accepting each and every product that comes your way (I do turn down a lot).
Difficult to Decipher,
I’m sorry about the symbols, but I have no idea what’s causing them.
alexis ,
Hmmmm…that’s strange. I don’t know why the main page would do it and not the rest??
Kath
eliza says
wow that pancake looks beyond delicious! white chocolate wonderful and mashed nana ahhh cant get much better than that 😉
Erin says
Kath, your oatmeal cakes are the best. Lots of us use your recipe. Glad to see you revive a blog favorite. 🙂
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
that’s funny that it’s been so long since your last pancake. maybe we’ll be seeing s’more now? that’s how i am; i tend to go in waves with certain foods….
Andrea@WellnessNotes says
The pancakes sound great. Oh, and the coffee… the coffee sounds awesome… (I’m trying to drink less coffee these days so even pictures of coffee make me excited!) 🙂
A says
Same issue with the apostrophes – fine in the comments but nooo good in the main post.
Anne K. says
Yum, I’m gonna have to make those pancakes!
Kelly says
Love the Oatmeal Pancakes! 🙂 I am counting down to Boston too!
christine says
yumm i just made oatmeal pancakes for the first time today using your recipe..and it was GOOD thanks!!
