Honey-Walnut-Oatmeal Pancakes

1. Whisk buttermilk, egg, yogurt, honey, and vanilla until well combined. Set aside.
2. Whisk dry ingredients (flour, oats, salt, baking soda, baking powder) until well combined.
3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Lumpy is good!
4. Add in melted butter (you can omit this—I do all the time, and they’re still delicious) and chopped walnuts and fold to combine.
5. Now, cook them the way you normally cook pancakes! Cook on a butter-greased skillet or saucepan by putting 1/4 cup batter (or as much as you want) at a time onto the hot surface. These pancakes have some trouble spreading out, and can end up undercooked in the center because of it. To combat this, either spread them out a bit with a spoon after you’ve dropped them onto the hot surface, or turn the temperature down a little on the skillet and allow for a little more cooking time. You might want to leave more time between pancakes in this case so the cooking surface gets nice and hot between and you still have a nice crispy, golden-brown surface.

You can easily add fruit or other items to these pancakes, as with any pancakes. I just love the wholesome, filling nature of the oats, walnuts, and honey.
