Quick Silver-Dollar Oat Pancakes for Kids

These pancakes are quick and easy to make on a busy weekday when your toddler-boss commands “no oatmeal! I want pancakes only”.

Little does she know these are basically oatmeal in pancake form (cue maniacal villian laugh).

They are gluten free, refined sugar free, oil free, allergy friendly.

Batch make and freeze for an even quicker reheat and serve breakfast for the impatient toddler-boss. (Pics below)

3. Add the wet to the dry. Mix.
