Milk Allergic/Sensitive Recipes: Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Pancakes

I love breakfast foods. Unfortunately so many of my favorite breakfast foods contain dairy: biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles, cheesy scrambled eggs, omelets , egg casserole...  A lot of these foods just aren't the same without dairy. Last weekend I wanted pancakes and I flipped through my favorite recipes in frustration: butter, milk, buttermilk, and yogurt were all required and sometimes multiple items in the same recipe!  I found one recipe in my box that looked promising and I switched out the milk for almond milk. Perfect!

Oatmeal and Wheat Flour Pancakes

  • 1 Cup Wheat Flour
  • 2 Tbs Brown Sugar

  • 3 Eggs Beaten
  • 1/4 Cup Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla or Almond Extract (I prefer almond!)

  1. Preheat a lightly oiled griddle over Medium Heat
  2. In a medium bowl, mix oats and milk.
  3. In a large bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients.
  4. Whisk eggs, oil, and extract into the oat/milk mixture.
