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.
So here you go- my new fav pancakes:
Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Keywords: stovetop breakfast snack healthy vegetarian greek yogurt
Ingredients (6-8 pancakes)
- 2/3 cup Greek Yogurt (flavored or plain)
- 3 Tbsp skim milk
- 1 Tbsp applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c white whole wheat flour
- 3/4 c oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
1. Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined
3. Cook on a hot griddle or pan!
Notes:
*If you’re looking for an extra dose of deliciousness, stir some granola into the batter and add some sliced bananas while they’re cooking!
So there ya have it! I highly suggest you make yourself a batch of these ASAP!
Good Luck!

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!

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!
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.
This is awesome!!!
I just want to continue with my clean eating in the new year, run my first half marathon, and then focus on toning up 🙂

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.

Healthy goal: Chobani and granola everyday.
I follow you on twitter too!
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. 🙂

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!

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.
Oh, and I already follow you on twitter…
And I tweeted!
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.
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.

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.
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.

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!

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)!
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! 🙂

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 🙂
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!
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!
Mmmmmmmm looks amazing girl. SO AMAZING
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 will be eating less sugar! Also I am trying to relax more!! I’ve been dying to try the cocoa granola… They dont sell it near me!

What an awesome giveway – thanks so much! I’m crossing my fingers…. 🙂
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!
In 2012 I’m going to strive to drink 115oz of water a day!

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!

yay!!! so glad to hear you enjoyed them!!! 🙂
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.
they’re my alltime fav!
^^ 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.
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!
i’m so happy to hear that!!!
