Silver Dollar Oat Pancakes, Taco Salad 2

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow I am going to make Silver Dollar Oat Pancakes for breakfast. The trick with these is to make little tiny pancakes. You could make regular sized ones but where is the fun in that? Since these have the oats, they're a little heartier pancake rather than light and fluffy. Katie has notes under the recipe so be sure to check those out. I'll be serving sliced nectarines, applesauce and bacon on the side. For dinner, I'm making Taco Salad. I do plan to use ground turkey. This is a bit different than your traditional taco salad as this is with Catalina dressing and Doritos. Should be good though. I'll be serving sliced apricots with this.

Silver Dollar Oat Pancakes
Katie (Katiedid) from Taste of Home

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup cinnamon applesauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Maple syrup or topping of your choice

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the egg, buttermilk, applesauce and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Pour batter by 2 tablespoonfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with syrup. Yield: 4 servings.

Katie's Notes: I used whole wheat flour and unsweetened applesauce with 1 teaspoon cinnamon added. I may try eliminating or reducing the butter next time.
