Quick, Easy and Healthy Strawberry Oatmeal Pancakes

These pancakes are super quick to make.  They are also very healthy and easy.  You don't have to pre-cook the whole oats at all which makes this recipe something you can make every morning if you want.  You also don't have to use the quick cooking kind of oats.  I use regular whole oats because they just get blended up anyway.  I use my blender to make these.  It is very easy to mix all the ingredients together in a blender and then just pour the mixture right onto your skillet.  When your done, all you have to clean up is the skillet and the blender.  

What you need:

1 cup of egg beaters (egg substitute)
1 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries, thawed
1 cup of Kroger Strawberry Vanilla yogurt (or your favorite strawberry yogurt)
2 cups of whole oats
1/4 cup of milk (if necessary)

How to make them:

Put all of your ingredients in the blender and turn on high until your batter looks smooth.  If the batter is to thick add a little milk to thin it out if necessary.  I use an electric skillet for cooking these but you can use a large pan on the stove too.  If using an electric skillet, turn it on about 275 F.  If your using the stove, set it to medium low.  Pour your pancakes right out of the blender into your skillet.  Cook until you see the bubbles coming up and then flip them over.  These pancakes will brown very nicely.  You can serve these plain and they will taste great.  You can also top with butter and your favorite syrup or whip cream and fresh strawberries for an extra special breakfast treat!  I usually get about 12-16 medium sized pancakes out of this batter.  You can freeze the leftovers for snacks, too!
