    Quaker Oats + Milk = Pancakes & Tweet For a Cause #Ad #BetterTogether

    By 621 Comments

    Disclosure:  I received samples and compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion and this information.

    A few weeks ago I shared how I have switched back to using milk with oatmeal with my family and I made some awesome 3 Minute No Bake Cookies.  It was a no-brainer to switch back to milk from water as using milk adds protein, potassium, vitamins D, A and B12, which you don’t get if you just use water.  Oatmeal is a such a versatile ingredient and I use it way more often than I realized and I am not just talking about plain oatmeal for breakfast.  I use Quaker oats when I bake, to top off my side dishes and recently I discovered I could even use it to make pancakes!  I feel like we are always running out of pancake mix in my house and with one child who has an egg allergy I can’t buy just any ole’ pancake mix anyways.  A lot of the pre made mixes contain egg already so I can only buy certain brands.  As I was staring in my pantry at my canisters of Quaker Oats I decided to head to the computer to see what else I can make with them.  I never even thought about using them in pancakes but really its a great and healthy idea!  I love that I can control what goes in the mix, and if my youngest son is going to have some then I will just use Egg Replacer instead of an egg.

    My kids absolutely loved them and I love that I have another use for Quaker Oats.  I have a feeling these are healthier too than the ones I was buying as well.   These are seriously our new favorite pancakes, my kids call them “monster pancakes” because they are big and hearty!  I found this recipe on the Quaker website and there are more inspiring ideas at:  http://bit.ly/QuakerBT

      I don’t really like Oatmeal. The only thing I would probably do with it is a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie or bar.

      I like the Scottish/Irish/pinhead/steel cut oatmeal with raisins. It takes a lot longer to cook, but has excellent flavor and a really good texture. We usually put in the raisins about 10 minutes before it is done cooking to get them softened up. We recently found quick cooking steel cut oats and it only takes 7-10 minutes to cook instead of 45 minutes and has the same flavor and almost the same texture as the regular steel cut oats.
