Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes-these light and hearty pancakes are a favorite at our breakfast table! The batter can be made in advance and they freeze well too!
Healthy Pancakes
Maxwell turned one last week and he is already Mr. Motor Mouth. He can already say 15 or so words. Caleb started talking at nine months, so he is taking after his brother. His newest word is pancake. We made Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes for breakfast over the weekend and he loved them! We gave him a baby pancake, but that wasn't enough. He wanted more! He started saying pancake over and over until we gave him another one. I guess he figured if he wanted more pancakes he better learn to speak up! Smart kiddo! I was begging for more of these pancakes too!
How To Make Oatmeal Pancakes
We almost always eat Quaker oatmeal for breakfast. It is our standard breakfast, but sometimes we like to mix things up. We are wild like that:) Pancakes are always a good choice and these Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes are hands down a favorite. They are light, hearty, and easy to make. I bet you have all of the ingredients on hand!
I use Quaker Old Fashioned Oats and like to let the batter sit for at least 20 minutes so the oats can soften up. You can make the batter in advance and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use!
The addition of oats adds fiber to the pancakes and also a satisfying texture. The cinnamon adds a hint of sweetness to the wholesome pancakes.
We like to top our pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup! YUM!
Great School-Day Breakfast
These Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes are the perfect back to school breakfast. I know, we don't want to face reality and talk about back to school, but the time is here! Where did the summer go?
To make back to school mornings easier, make these pancakes. They are the perfect way to start the day! And good news, these pancakes freeze beautifully! Make a big batch and keep them in the freezer. Reheat in the toaster or microwave and you are good to go! They are a lifesaver on busy school mornings…or for when Maxwell is begging for more pancakes:)

Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until combined. Let pancake mixture sit for at least 20 minutes. You can cover and put the mixture in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours before making the pancakes.
- When ready to cook, heat a griddle or pan to medium low heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop about a ¼ cup of batter onto heated skillet. Cook until surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip carefully with a spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, 1 to 2 minutes more. Continue making pancakes until the batter is gone.
- Serve pancakes with fruit and maple syrup, if desired.
- Note-these pancakes freeze well. Let them cool completely and then wrap in plastic wrap and put in a freezer bag. When ready to eat, remove from freezer and reheat in microwave or the toaster.
