3-Ingredient Oatmeal Pancakes
Oatmeal is one of our go-to breakfasts, but I find that I sometimes need to make it more interesting to entice my toddler to eat it. It's filled with complex carbohydrates, which are a great source of energy, it's high in fiber, which is good for digestion, and it's incredibly versatile, so you pretty much taste like anything. We like to do all sorts of things with oatmeal—both the first time around and using up the inevitable leftovers that come with feeding a little one. (And when I say "oatmeal", assume that I mean old-fashioned rolled oats cooked according to the package directions unless stated otherwise.) Also no need for antique green milk dish or juice cup. I love antique dinnerware but know that it's not always for our little ones. It's up to you to decide if they should start be treated like royalty for breakfast.
3-Ingredient Oatmeal Pancakes
Stir together 1/4-cup leftover oatmeal, 1 egg, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder. Cook as pancakes (smaller is better), letting them set almost completely before carefully flipping. Or, simply use leftover oatmeal in place of 1/4-1/2 cup flour in your favorite pancake recipe.
