I processed the oatmeal to make it fine before adding it. Also added 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Added extra flour as I thought they were too thin. Not as good as plain buttermilk pancakes, but definitely a delicious more healthy alternative!

This recipe did not work for me. The batter was too runny. A big disappointment.

This review is for the syrup only: The syrup was very good. I used it with a different oatmeal pancake recipe that I know my picky husband likes (Oatmeal Pancakes II). It made the pancakes taste like buttery, sugary "Christmas cookies." My husband didn't like it because he found it too sweet. When I removed the sugar mixture from heat and added the buttermilk, the two had an almost explosive reaction where the milk splattered all over and the sugar mixture solidified. I wound up bringing it back to a boil to melt the carmel back down, and it was fine.

My family really enjoyed these pancakes! I did 1/2 oil and 1/2 applesauce instead of just oil, and I added a couple shakes of cinnamon. I didn't have buttermilk so I mixed 2 Tbl. of Lemon Juice with 2 Cups of Milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. I will certainly be making these again!

First, I will rate the pancakes. They tasted fine and I love that they have no all purpose flour. They were a little too flat for my liking, and tastes a little bland. But with butter milk syrup you really don't need worry about the pancakes being bland. Second, the syrup. This did not turn out at all. I made it the first time and I thought I miscalculated the ingredients, so I made this a second time. I was very careful to follow ingredients and instructions exactly. Worst syrup ever. I have made this kind of syrup before but that recipe tells you to add the buttermilk WITH the sugar, butter and corn syrup then boil until golden brown. This recipe just tells you to stir in the buttermilk after it cooks. Mine ended up turning into a hard rock stage when I added the buttermilk. At this point there was no combining of the two ingredients. So since the syrup is part of this recipe, then I have to give this a 2 star. Pancakes were still good tho. Look up German pancakes with buttermilk sauce recipe from this sight. That is the syrup I ended up making.

Delicious!! I also added the vanilla and b.powder and they turned out great! I have 4 kids ages 4 - 2, and they ate every bite! My kids didn't like the syrup, but my husband and I did! (I think my kids are just used to traditional maple) What a great recipe. I will be making this again! Thank you Gladys.

Wow, very impressive! I was a bit hesitant to make these because I thought that they may taste to grainy, but they were amazing! I used regular syrup because I didn't have the ingredients to mkae the buttermilk syrup. I also did not add the dry milk because I didn't have any. I used vanilla non-fat yogart and a tbsp of apple cider vinegar (because I was out of regular milk). What a great healthy breakfast!

These are very good pancakes for being whole grain. I didn't have the ingredients for the syrup, but I might try them again with it. The pancakes were moist, but slightly dense...another problem was that the wheat germ flakes were somewhat annoying. Other than that, I really enjoyed these. Thanks for sharing!

These were delicious! As another suggested, I also added the 1/2 tsp baking powder to make them a bit more fluffy. I also added 1 tsp vanilla and about 1/2 tsp cinnamon. My boys loved them and had seconds! Thank you so much for a healthy pancake recipe!
