Leftover Oatmeal Pancakes

The other day we were running low on soy milk, so I made oats for breakfast instead of cereal.  I put in the amount that I thought Andy usually makes - I filled up a drinking glass with oats, and then added two full drinking glasses of water.  And some brown sugar, cinnamon, and dried mixed fruit.  Only, when I poured it into our bowls, it was much, much more than we could eat in one go.

Instead of letting that leftover porridge go to waste, though, we made pancakes!  I followed this recipe, except that I used egg replacer powder instead of eggs (overripe bananas would probably be very yummy, if bananas didn't cost so much at the moment!).  And a mixture of soy milk + water instead of cow milk.  They were super easy to make, and they cooked up nicely. 

And the results were yummy - chewy, moist and full of flavour from the fruit and cinnamon in the porridge.

We had ours with jam. And they were delightful.  I think I'll make too much porridge from now on...

It's a big batch, though - we got 14 regular sized (maybe 4 or 5 inch circles) and one bigger one.  So now we have leftover leftover porridge pancakes

That's a great idea. Possibilities are endless!

Ugh @ bananas. Nadine requested I buy some for her cereal and all they had were ladyfingers, which she doesn't like, and they were $12 a kilo. Ugh.

Guess what! I'm eating oats right now! Except they're gross instant oats that I found in me parents' pantry (free food!) and I'd much rather jammy pancakes. Mmm...
