Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

by 233 Comments

Hi Friends!!

**EDIT: This post originally contained a giveaway which is now over so giveway info has been removed**

It’s a new week, a new year & we’re kicking things off right over here on The Bean! Today I’m FINALLY going to share the recipe for the Oatmeal Pancakes I’ve been tweeting about incessantly for the past few weeks.

I’m not kidding when I say I literally made these pancakes four times in one week when I first started my winter break in December. They’re so good. It’s been my experience that this either makes 3 giant pancakes or 7-8 smaller ones. I usually eat half the batch for breakfast and the other half for lunch. They’re great topped with more Greek yogurt and some fresh fruit, or some frozen fruit that’s defrosted to make a sort of fruit syrup.

My legs were exhausted by the end and the next morning they were SORE. I loved it. I’ll be doing this one again for sure. Took me about 45 minutes but I wasn’t going as quickly as I could have.

  27. Great giveaway! So cool that there is now a straw! That was the only drawback I felt there was since I always drop lids too. My goal for this year is to build up to Olympic tri distance (it may take more than a year…)

  39. oh my gosh – talk about a crazy good giveaway! pick me please. 🙂

    i have decided to buckle down and improve my fitness in 2012. i have let my workouts become optional in my life and it’s not cool. so, i registered for 2 races and have a training plan all set up. i am 100% committed and even asked a couple family members to keep me accountable. i’m pumped!

  42. What a fantastic giveaway to start the new year!! Some of my 2012 goals are to drink more water and less diet sodas, to stretch more, and to swim more!

  43. Great giveaway! I plan to try (but really this time!) to eat more protein this year. I was getting really good at it after my surgery when I KNEW I really had to, but I’ve slipped up again.

  48. wow I love all of these products soooo much! this year I really want to focus on being healthy (not losing weight or doing anything too crazy)……just being healthy and happy!

    Reply

  51. One healthy change I’m making is to eat better! I am a runner and want to start getting seriously faster. I already run a lot and do tough workouts, so it looks like I have to turn to nutrition. I am young so I don’t want to have the appearance of “trying lose weight” or anything, since I am thin, but I want everything I eat to WORK for me and not be a waste.

    Reply

  56. I don’t plan on dieting or doing vigorous exercise since I’m expecting, but I do want to become a little more active and eat healthier this year. I don’t necessarily gorge on junk food. I just need to pay a little more attention to food labels better. 🙂

  58. This year marks my first as a mother. As such, I plan to continue with all the healthy habits I instilled last year while attempting to fine tune as well as needed. All in an effort to provide the best for my child. Great giveaway! (pick me! Pick me!)

  61. A great giveaway going on here! I love Chobani – it is my favorite and I can’t even eat the other yogurts anymore because none of them are as thick and most of them are too sweet. Chobani is perfect!

    The biggest change happening in our home this year is learning how to eat correctly to control Grumpy’s diabetes. He was diagnosed right before Christmas so I now have a whole lot to learn!

  63. I LOVE this recipe!! Seriously, I’ve been looking for a new pancake recipe, and this is going to HAVE to be it! I love incorporating yogurt into NIck’s food without him knowing…muahaha, I can’t wait to try these.

    I follow you on Twitter, AND I tweeted 🙂

  64. Awesome giveaway…I plan to start doing Insanity/P90X on days that I don’t have time to get to the gym during the winter!

  77. One healthy life change my wife and I are both making for 2012 is to eat more clean. We’re trying to avoid processed junk. Not 100%, (because it’s practically impossible), but we’ve definitely cleaned up our diet significantly in the last week.

    Reply

  80. One healthy life change I’m planning to make in 2012 is to completely give up meat from the grocery store in favor of meat from local farmers. I’m also completely cutting out grain fed beef in favor of healthier, but more expensive grass fed lean beef.

    Reply

  81. In the new year I plan on making some of our favorite store bought items at home so I can make them healthy and save money. I plan on starting with the Nutri Grain bars recipe on your blog.

  86. What an amazing and generous giveaway! I love that water bottle.
    This year I want to focus on staying positive, no matter what. And also I want to incorporate more whole, raw foods into my diet. Less of the processed stuff!

    Reply

  89. I definitely plan on actually taking time to prepare food next semester! Being a busy college student shouldn’t be an excuse to eat badly 🙂

  91. I’d like to continue improving my fitness and diet while also having a more positive attitude for the new year and years to come!

  94. uh wow. what an amazing giveaway!
    what i’m planning to do to be more healthy this year is start paying more attention again to what types of foods i am eating.

    during my recovery process i got kind of lazy because i thought “well i just need to gain” i don’t want to get obsessive about it again, but i do want to try and cut out more processed foods and eat more whole foods.

  95. I’m planning on paying more attention in the new year – to what I eat, how much I sleep, and how I challenge my body and mind.

  103. What an UHH Mazing giveaway!! I have to say that in 2012 I’m definitely going to walk more. It takes so little but does so much for me! And it’s something I can’t excuse myself out of.

  116. In 2012, I would like to find a balance between diet and exercise that is right for my body. I seem to go through a cycle of injuries, which means that I’ve got to change something. It’s so important to listen to your body, I want to do that a bit better this year!

    Reply

  118. I have all the ingredients for those pancakes and will make them tomorrow. Yummy. And I already follow you on Twitter. Wheeeeee.Oh, for 2012 I’m going to do 212 pushups every day of January. My post explains why, but it has to do with the number of servicepeople killed in action. Great prizes and I hope the lucky winner squeals like you did!

  120. I am planning on keeping a workout diary on a calendar on my bed room door to keep me motivated. I did this for December and put my goals at the top and was able to stick to them for the month…if I can do it for the busiest month of the year, then I can do it for a WHOLE year (changing goals/workouts every month)!

    Reply

  121. I am going to continue what I am doing now! I always feel great…so why change it? I am always changing up my work outs… making sure I lift.. and always trying to make sure I am having fun while doing it! 🙂

  127. So much good stuff here! I plan to drink more water and pack vegetables in every lunch to be healthier in 2012. I also plan to make your greek yogurt pancakes…they look fantastic! I love making a big batch of pancakes, storing them in the fridge and having breakfast set for a few days 🙂

  133. I’m planning on continuing to get back in running shape after having a baby last May and hopefully beating my 1:42 PR in the half marathon!!

  135. Wow, that’s the most beautiful water bottle I’ve ever seen! My primary resolution for 2012 is to “DIY” as much as possible: cooking, baking, crafts, fixing things around the house… hopefully I’ll pick up a bunch of new skills! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  136. Those pancakes look crazy good!! My resolution for the new year is to get my finances in order… for REAL this time! I also want to become a better bread maker, so I’m hoping to try my hand at lots of different kinds of bread this year. Here’s hoping!

    Reply

  137. I love everything about this post! Those pancakes, that water bottle, the yummy yogurt… as for the new year and new goals, I’m not really one for “resolutions.” I DO, however, love to start fresh with a healthy attitude, so this time around I’m aiming to infuse a little more positivity and enthusiasm in everything I do 🙂 Thank you for the amazing giveaway!

  139. 1. eat 95% (if not 100%) vegetarian…and cook daily. right now i’m roasting purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, and red peppers (mmmm)…and just made bulk oatmeal 🙂 …2nd. go to the gym daily and PUSH myself..not just camp out on the elliptical which i am guilty of doing. 3rd…fill up three huge empty wine jugs so i can afford to travel my buns off and make them worthwhile (hello 6 weeks away from the states, all my waitress change has been worth saving) and finally…4. journaling three times a week and reading one novel a month. currently? confederacy of dunces. cheers to a happy and healthy 2012!

    I’ve been making lots of positive changes to my diet in 2011 and hope to continue with those. I also have this crazy urge to train to run a half marathon (crazy cause the last mile I ran was a forced one in Jr. High…). But, my sister is in with me and we’re hoping to be able to do the Pittsburgh Half in May. I’m already super nervous and excited all at the same time!

  192. Ooo what a cute/fun water bottle! I’m a water bottle freak, and cute bottles help me drink more H2O 🙂 We purchased an elliptical and a weight set, so I’m quitting the gym and my goal is to use my new home gym 5 days a week 🙂

  194. 2011 was a year full of big health and lifestyle changes for us. I went gluten free due to an allergy and that was a lot of learning and changes to make, but rewarded me in a big way. My husband Brian made huge changes, and has lost nearly 100 pounds as of the start of the new year.

    Our goal in 2012 is to try new foods and incorporate a little more exercise into our daily lives. We both have “desk jobs” so we’re guilty of sitting on our butts nearly all day, and that’s just no good. By the end of the year both our butts should be a in a little better shape 😉

    Happy New Year!

  210. CHOBANI rocks my world! The Bamboo Bottle Co sounds AWESOME. And your recipe looks simply delicious!

    Mine’s as simple as MORE YOGA. My flexibility is increasing and the pounds come off but more importantly, the more I get into yoga, the more in tune I become with my sense of self. If offers a sense of peace and calmness that help me throughout the day! =)

    Twitter follow? Already done 😉 Can’t wait for FoodiePenPal!!

  227. I made these this morning with lemon yogurt and blueberries. YUM! I definitely have a new favorite pancake recipe. Filling, delicious, and healthy–exactly what I hope for in a breakfast (or brunch or brinner). Thanks!

  228. I thought I loved pancakes before seeing these, but I’m pretty much drooling over here. With simple and healthy ingredients these could not be more amazing. I have got to try them ASAP.

    Reply

  229. ^^ Just tried your pancakes. But found out I had no oats at home, so I tried to substitute with cooked millet. Somehow I couldn’t manage to make pancakes, so I switched to some kind of kaiserschmarrn, witch also didn’t seem right. Now it’s baking in the oven like some kind of “breakfast-bread” thing. But now it seems to turn out great.

  230. My new “staple” pancake recipe right here!!!! I’ve been making so many different clean pancake recipes over the past year or so and while they’ve been good, these surpass every recipe by a landslide 🙂 No syrup or toppings even necessary!

    1. My 2 and 4 year old girls couldn’t get enough.
    2. My husband couldn’t get enough.
    3. I made a batch for dinner last night, and my girls were begging for them again this morning…so I made ’em twice within 12 hours!
    4. Love the versatility of changing the yogurt flavor and getting a brand new pancake flavor!

    Thank you!
