Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

I think of all the cookies you can make or eat, oatmeal has to be my absolute favourite. There is something incredibly moreish to me about the wholesomeness of them.
I love the texture of the buttery oats and the slightly spiced flavours. I love mine chock full of raisins too. I know some don't like raisins, but I am a great raisin lover and thankfully so is the Toddster.



I love pancakes . . . almost as much as cookies, and maybe even more!! Pancakes for breakfast are a really superdy duperdy breakfast treat!! I always made them on Saturday mornings for my kids when they were growing up and they were a given for breakfast whenever we had someone visiting over night.



Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes are the best! You get all the wholesome and nutty flavour of a tasty Oatmeal Cookie . . . except in the glorious deliciousness of a breakfast pancake!



What could be better??? I don't think anything could! (Don't let the bad photography here today put you off of making these tasty little delights. They are the bomb!)
