Oatmeal Pancake Fritters

Reading through the comments on this recipe some people called the pancake recipe fritters.  These do taste a bit like an oatmeal fritter, with only 1/4 cup of flour they are not your traditional pancake.  But boy are they good and good for you too!  I should of made a double batch because the girls gobbled them up fast and I was wishing I had one more.  When you're making this recipe the batter will be thinner and I'd suggest using the 2.5 tablespoon of batter per pancake.  It seems to cook perfect at this size.  They do cook fast so watch for those bubbles on top and flip when you have a good amount of bubbles.  These go great with turkey bacon and some fresh fruit.

Recipe Modifications

• First thing I did was mix 1 cup 1% milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, stirred then added 1 cup regular oatmeal
• Mixed other dry ingredients, added extra tablespoon of flour, added extra cinnamon
• Added egg and butter to oatmeal and milk mixture and combined with dry ingredients
• Cooking mine using real butter instead of spray.  A little bit goes a long way
