Hi Diane,
I see you have a post regarding your Oatmeal Kitchen Sink Pancakes but I don’t see a recipe, I’d love to try them. If you have a chance can I get a copy of the recipe? Thanks, Barbara

It’s under WTSC tri program. But here you go!

Oatmeal Kitchen Sink Pancakes

Ingredients:
2 ½ cups Uncooked Old-Fashioned Oatmeal
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Rice Milk with Vanilla OR 1 Cup Skim Milk
1 Cup Frozen Blueberries OR 2 Bananas
1 Cup Nuts Of Your Choice
6 Eggs or 1 Cup Egg Whites
Add ¼ cup Ground Flax Seed

Beat eggs until they are frothy.

Mix all ingredients together in a food processor. If you like chunkier pancakes, you can leave the nuts out, or grind them a little first, then mix them in by hand after all of the other ingredients are processed.

You may need to add some water to get the consistency you want.

Make pancakes, flip, and eat 

Do you make this much after an ironman workout? This seems like enough to feed the whole team!

I’m going to make them this morning! mmmm…

You make the batch and freeze them in packages of 3 pancakes so you have them for later :-) . Yes, it would be alot in one sitting !!
