Alright, since we have multiple, lengthy, varying posts about oatmeal, I thought pancakes deserved a little attention as well.

I use Meijers Naturals Pancake Mix--I really like this mix. It smells and tastes like a cake donut when I make them.
I make them every Saturday for the family. As such, I like to mix things up!


Some of the variations I've done:

Bear Paw Pancakes
Make mix according to package and stir in 2-4 tbsp Peanut Butter and Chocolate chips.

Peanut Butter and Jelly
Stir in a few tbsp PB and Jelly each. I thought this would make PB&J swirls, but it didn't. It mixed right in with the mix. It gave the pancakes a really great flavor.

Cinnamon and Vanilla
Add tsp of Organic Vanilla and a few shakes of Cinnamon

Oatmeal Pancakes
Toast some oatmeal in the oven then add to the pancake mix. Makes a hearty, filling, earthy pancake.

Pumpkin Pancakes
Add canned pumpkin, dash of each of the following: cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.

Mixed Berry Pancakes
Throw in whatever berries I have laying around. Yum!
