Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Here's a simple, delicious, and wholesome adaptation of a classic breakfast food.

It is so like an oatmeal cookie, you'll feel like you're starting with dessert!

Begin with your traditional pancake batter, all mixed together.

To a double batch I added a cup of raisins and a cup of oatmeal.

Mix into batter. 

Adding a little extra milk to allow for some absorption by the oats.

Also, toss a cap-full of cinnamon into the mix.

Cook away on the griddle.

And in no time you'll have pancakes that remind you of my favorite cookie!

A note on "brinner." I rarely make breakfast food in the morning. I don't have time for it during the week, so we do fine with oatmeal, granola, cereal, yogurt, and assorted other quick starters for the day. On weekends, when I have time, I like to sleep in late and as a consequence, I wake up starving...we eat out for brunch regularly on weekends. Thus, brinner was born: breakfoods at dinner time. I have the time in the evenings to make my beloved, comfort-food meals.
