Emily's Oatmeal Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancake

These are super yummy pancakes that my whole family loved.  They are so good that you don't even need syrup or anything to eat them, although a good scoop of whipped cream is always delicious.  You could also substitute white chocolate chips for the chocolate.  My husband and I love the flavor of white chocolate with raspberries.  Enjoy!


Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (divided)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen), slightly mashed
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Combine the oats and one cup of buttermilk and let stand 1 hour or overnight.  Do not skip this step or the pancakes will not hold together very well.  

After an hour, add a large egg to the oat/buttermilk mixture and stir together.  Then add the brown sugar and melted butter and mix well.  Sift in the dry ingredients and stir to combine.  Stir in 1/4 cup buttermilk, raspberries, and chocolate chips.  

Cook on hot, buttered griddle until golden brown on both sides.
