I don't know what it is about cooler weather that makes me want to bake, but fall and winter are prime baking seasons in my kitchen and comfort food is a must, esp. if you can freeze some for easy reheating later on. So, I've been searching for recipes that can be made in bulk so I can stock up some. When I came across this recipe for pantry pancakes, I knew I had to try it and share it! I'm trying convince myself these are some what healthy or at least better for you than the boxed staple. I'll let you decide.Pantry Pancakes
4 c. quick oats
2 c. all purpose flour
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. dry milk
3 Tbsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. cinnamon
5 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
Combine all dry ingredients together, mixing well. Store in air tight container or jar. Add these instructions to your container or gift card.
In a large bowl, add 2 eggs, beat well. Gradually blend in 1/3 c. oil. Alternately add 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 cup water to egg mixture; blend well. Cook pancakes on a lightly greased griddle. Makes 10 pancakes.
Wouldn't this make a nice Christmas gift too, jarred up in a decorative way. And so easy if you have it on hand. I like easy. More recipes to come, as I'm going through cookbooks and my recipe drawers with the holidays in mind and thought. Can you believe it's almost November!
This one I would so totally make!
ReplyDeleteI think in jars sounds like a fine idea! I love jar gifts, especially if the jars are ANTIQUE ones!!!
I'm with you on the baking.. and cooking. I feel like I can't whip something out fast enough. lol Unfortunately, I've put on a little weight because of it. Now I'm trying to convince myself that I'm actually a better wife and Mom when I'm overweight coz I cook and bake a lot more! I really think my guys here would agree! lol
Cheers to a 350 degree oven, and a vintage mixing bowl!

Holykisses

What a great recipe for my Jar Gifts..Thanks for sharing..!!!
ReplyDeleteLike you baking perks up for our family in the fall and winter! I love the recipe you posted and just yesterday I was telling hubby that I wanted to put together some breakfast baskets as gifts this year and was even telling him about looking for a pancake recipe I can put in jars!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting the recipe! : )
Yummy... the ingredients sound so wholesome... not like the box kind. I baked a cake from scratch today... using apples and bananas that were about to go bad. The house smelled so good and it was nice "knowing" what was going into my body.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great recipe, Sue. I like having things like this on hand. I also like to make up a couple of batches of waffles and freeze them for fast breakfasts.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue! I think it sounds much healthier than the store bought mix. A great idea to make up some in bulk and freeze. I did that when my kids where all home. I need to do it for when company come. Thanks for the recipe. :0) Karen
ReplyDeleteThese sound delish! You really inspire me. You seem to be able to do it ALL!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Yummy! I love pancakes and this recipe would fit the bill well. I would have to cut the sugar some though as I have to be careful with carbs. The picture is making me hungry though and I'd love to have some right now. Thanks, Hon, for always sharing good things. xxoo
ReplyDeleteI'm baking like crazy too! I just love the process of it, but I think I may have added a few pounds since the first of September!
ReplyDeleteThose pancakes sound wonderful!
I think this must be a little healthier, since it's got the oatmeal and the whole wheat flour. I vote yes!!
