there I go adding oats again...

Have you ever woken up and said to yourself, I want to try oatmeal pancakes? I hadn't either, until a few weeks ago. I don't know why but I dove into some 'net research and settled on this one: Oaty Pear 'n Pecan Pancakes. I had the oats, of course, some Aunt Jemima pancake mix that needed to be eaten, and a pear. I omitted the pecans but I can see how they would complement the oats. The texture of these oatmeal pancakes is a little...textured, I guess. They're not gritty; the oats have softened somewhat. But you can tell the difference from a regular pancake. And the chopped pear cooked up just enough for me to be able to tolerate it. I'd actually forgotten to consider that when choosing this recipe.
