Since I rarely find myself following a recipe exactly and I am always try to up the nutritional content in some way, I opted to vary the recipe by using 1 cup of unbleached organic flour to 1 cup of organic whole wheat flour. I then followed the recipe to a 'T'. The result was tasty and the kids enjoyed them however, I think they would have been less dense if I had cut the oats down to 1 cup.
Do you like your pancakes light and fluffy? If yes, then follow her instructions and see how they come out but I have to wonder: Which is better nutritionally? To use all AP flour with all the oats called for OR use some whole wheat flour but cut down on the oats?

These sound pretty good! I have been making the same (all white flour, no oats) pancakes forever and I find them flat so I have been looking for something that will give me thick pancakes. Light would be nice, but dense gives you something to sink your teeth into for a hearty meal!
This sounds soo yumm!
Fluffy is good, but I find that they get eaten too quickly. Having something to chew is good. :) They look perfect!
either way they looks delicious! I do love a fluffy pancake... I find that addign a little mashed banana to them helps with that too (and gives it extra deliciousness!)
You know, I'm not the biggest pancake fan, but these actually sound really good! I bet they'd be good w. some nuts thrown it too!
You and Martha sure are close... my kids would love these!
I like fluffier pancakes and I think oats are more nutritious than whole wheat, so all things considered I keep the oat measure where it is and use unbleached white flour.
My boys love fluffy pancakes. I really should get them used to the nutritionally dense version. That's why I add the ww flour in baby steps:)
How about using white whole wheat flour instead? King Arthur Flour's white whole wheat is fantastic.
They sound great....I'll have to try them :)
I love and prefer the light and fluffy pancake. Cinnamon oat pancakes sound delicious! Nice choice.
I must try these... I love the fact that you try to make everything a little more nutritious!
I tend to think your version would be a little more nutritious seeing that you used whole wheat flour even if you cut down the oats.
I love pancakes. Period. Doesn't matter if they're fluffy/thin, light/dense - I will eat them. Wish I could help out on the nutrition question! One tip: I have started using club soda in place of the liquid in pancake recipes. It cuts down on kcals from milk and it (seems to) add to the fluffiness.
These sound yummy! I like any kind, but my family will only eat blueberry or banana pancakes because these always come out light and fluffy!
I would have cut the egg down to one and the oil to 2 tablespoons and added a 1/4 cup of applesauce. but I almost always add applesauce to my pancake batter. Sounds yummy.
