Oatmeal Pancakes I

I doubled this recipe to make extra for next week. My kids asked me to add chocolate chips this morning, that was the only change I made. This recipe is almost where it needs to be--it's just too thick as is. I added a little more milk but the little overmixing I had to do made the pancakes flat and tough. I should have read through the reviews before I made this recipe. I'd like to try these pancakes again, with adjusted milk or oats and see if I can get a better result the next time. I'd also grind down the oats to a finer texture in my food processor as well. NOTE: If you want to add chocolate chips like me, just mix the batter up and after you ladle your batter onto the griddle, sprinkle your chips over each little batter circle.

I wanted to try this recie because of the high proportion of heart-health oatmeal to flour - What a mistake. The proportions of wet ingredients to dry ingedients are wrong. The batter is too thick and other reviewers had made the same claim. I needed to add more buttermilk (which I substituted 1 tbsp. lemon juice and the rest of the cup milk) to make it a thinner batter - then the batter was too thin so I had to add more flour. I will not make this recipe again. I will try the other oatmeal pancake recipes on this site.
