Prom Cakes

When my friends and I took that quick trip, we all had "Prom Cakes" for breakfast.  Jenny found us a recipe! I had mine with embedded bananas and granola on top. This is from Cooking For Generations Blog:

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

3/4 cup oat flour (You can make oat flour by pulsing about 1 cup of rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground.)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

3 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 1/4 cups milk

1 cup cooked oatmeal*

1 Tablespoon honey

2 large eggs

Optional Ingredients

Fresh bananas, sliced very thin

Fresh strawberries, sliced

Homemade granola (See my recipe here, but make it without the dried fruit if you are using it as a topping on these pancakes.)

Chocolate chips (I put these in my daughter's pancakes they taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies - yum!)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.

2. In a smaller bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together.

3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

4. Heat griddle to medium heat and then lower to medium just before putting the batter on. Grease griddle with butter or cooking spray.

5.  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the greased griddle. (If you want banana slices or chocolate chips in your pancakes, place them on the pancake batter as soon as your pour the batter on.

Everything is better embedded in a pancake.
