I’m convinced that Sunday mornings are meant for eating big, comforting breakfasts in your pajamas.
I love sleeping in on Sundays, stumbling downstairs and into the kitchen with the intent of making a delicious meal to enjoy with loved ones.
This morning Ryan and I had a craving for pancakes, so I took my laptop into the kitchen and perused the internet for a yummy recipe. I wanted to keep things relatively healthy and figured making pancakes with oatmeal would be a great way to add wholesome fiber to our morning meal. Since I didn’t have the ingredients on hand for my high-protein healthy oatmeal pancakes, I had to start from square one.
After stumbling upon a recipe for oatmeal pancakes on Smitten Kitchen, I figured I could change things up a bit and make my own version.
In the end, we both had a large plate full of thin, dense pancakes that tasted amazing!
I topped the pancakes with chopped walnuts for some healthy fats and syrup for a little sweetness and moisture.
The perfect Sunday breakfast!
Oatmeal Pancakes (Adapted from Smitten Kitchen)
Serves 2 – 3
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. + 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tbsp. melted butter
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/3 c. old fashioned oatmeal, cooked (I measured 1/3 c. oats before cooking. After cooking the oats, I had slightly more than 1/3 c. cooked oats.)
- 1/4 c. raw oats
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 large egg
Directions:
Whisk the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon) together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the butter, milk, cooked oatmeal, raw oats, honey and egg together until thoroughly combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Cook pancakes on a hot griddle sprayed with cooking spray (or butter) or in a skillet coated with cooking spray (or butter) for 2 –3 minutes on one side before flipping and cooking the other side. The pancakes cook very quickly, so keep an eye on them!
Top with nuts, syrup, fruit, chocolate chips, powdered sugar or desired toppings and enjoy!

Pancakes on Sunday mornings always remind me of my grandpa. He makes them every week after church during the summer when we’re at the shore- and always adds blueberries 🙂
These look so delicious! Maybe some with some chocolate chips added in too!
Ohhhh chocolate chips would TOTALLY win my heart over with those babies… that sounds (and looks) delicious!!!
Ooooh, I’m loving the look of these pancakes. So fluffy!
Thanks for the recipe Julie! Have a great weekend! 😀
Yummy! Julie these look so good!
Those look SO good!! I always have Pancake Sundays, and today I had chocolate banana ones…I know what I’m having next week now!! 😉
I love having special breakfast on the weekends 🙂 And pancakes are awesome for that 🙂
Dang it! I wish I had seen this before I made breakfast! Oh well, NEXT Sunday! 😉
I agree…Sunday mornings are meant for yummy breakfasts! Your pancakes look scumptious.
suddenly the bowl of overnight oats that I’m eating right now just doesn’t taste as good. **breakfast envy!!**
i LOVE pancakes! and on the weekends, they are that much tastier! I love your walnut choice 😉
those pancakes look and sound amazing!
Hope you have a great Sunday!!!!
LOVE oatmeal pancakes. I wish I hadn’t already had breakfast! Maybe I’ll make them for dinner 😉
I’m not a big maple syrup person, because the sugar makes me crash into a food coma pretty quickly. You could drizzling a little honey for sweetness….so delicious, especially on “healthy” pancakes….better than syrup, in my opinion!
They look great!! Pancakes are one of my favorite weekend splurges!
I love big Sunday bfasts too. We usually dont have time for them when I’m teaching Sunday school though. I’m going to really miss our leisurely mornings when I have to go back!
Yum! I totally have pancakes on the adgenda today too. I am about to go make some French Toast pancakes… I love Sunday breakfasts!
Ooh will you be posting the recipe on your blog???
yes I just want to tweak it a little and then I will post it 🙂
The pancakes look so great!
yum! this is one way i can handle oats…sounds delicious!
Yes yes yes, Sunday mornings are meaaaant to be lazy and carefree. Sounds like y’all are doing it right!
I love pancakes….especially with lots of syrup!
Yum! I love comforting weekend breakfasts. For me that means carbs-a-plenty 🙂
Mmm, pancake Sundays are the best!
I love pancakes on lazy Sunday mornings. Yum. Your pancakes look like they’re the absolute perfect density!
I just made a huge oatmeal pancake for my breakfast before I read this!
I’m devoted to Kath’s super-simple recipe: 1/3 cup oats, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 tsp. baking powder.
That’s your base and I always add in spices and Stevia and banana and top it with syrup and slivered almonds or coconut!
I wish I could laze about on Sunday mornings! But I gotta set my alarm and get up for church stuff. My husband and I go to the first service and we volunteer in the child care for the second service. So Sunday is basically church from 9-1. 🙂
I love Pancake Sunday! Typically, I start thinking of my next pancake recipe before I even finish the plate I’ve made!
Hope you have a great restful Sunday!
Do you think it would work/taste good with wheat flour?
Yum yum these look great! I love pancakes and waffles for breakfast. I usually save them for Sundays – just because they feel more ‘special’ that way. Love your walnut topping!
This looks soo good! One of the good/bad things about being on the west coast is that my east coast bloggers have already eaten before I get up! So many ideas to wake up to!
oh those look delicious!!!!!!!
i love lots of syrup on my pancakes with butter. classic, but so good!
I just love oatmeal pancakes – such nice texture! Enjoy your Sunday!
those look great! I’m bookmarking them to make soon…
I totally agree about a big breakfast on Sunday mornings. When my husband suggested pancakes and bacon this morning, I was more than happy to read the Sunday paper while he prepared breakfast. He makes fantastic whole wheat pancakes…the recipe is in his head, and I’ve been meaning to ask him to write it down, but then I fear he’d expect me to make them 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
What delicious looking pancakes! 🙂 I heart oatmeal pancakes. If only my hubby felt the same. 🙂
Oh well, more pancakes for me!
Yum, I ADORE pancakes. I usually make protein pancakes with cottage cheese, oat flour and eggs, but now I’m wondering how it would be if I tried including some cooked oats in the batter. 😀
i love oatmeal pancakes! i’ve never cooked the oats first though 🙂
Totally unrelated to your pancake post – but after a year of reading your blog I have brussel sprouts + cauliflower in the oven roasting for the first time ever!
University = no time for fancy veggie cooking… but this method takes ZERO time. VERY pumped!!! I’m going to stop eating all my veggies raw! THANKS!
Those look awesome. I’m pretty excited because we are having breakfast for dinner tonight…homemade waffles and turkey sausage! : )
Great book! I just read it in September. I couldn’t put it down. If you like “Marley and Me,” then you’re going to love “The Art of Racing in the Rain!”
I am going to have to check out that book!
Was looking for something different for breakfast and came across your oatmeal pancakes WOW I made them and they are awesome will be making these more often thanks and love your blog !
I LOVE these pancakes. I make different varations of them all of the time. Today is peanut butter and nutella in the batter. . .
Thank you for them! Love your blog!
