Cinnamon Oat Pancake Mix


Michael is in the middle of final exams right now. As it's a very stressful time for him, Michael's mom and I decided to send Michael a package together filled with her homemade beef jerky and something I was going to make. After a lot of brainstorming, I decided to send some pancake and homemade dry soup mixes, hoping he'd be able to quickly whip up some meals without taking too much time away from studying. I found this recipe and thought it sounded like something Michael would like. He gave the pancakes a try and really liked them. This could make a great gift for holidays, graduation, or just because.

Ingredients
4 cups quick cooking oats
4 cups whole wheat flour (or can do 2 cups whole wheat and 2 cups all-purpose)
1 cup non-fat dry milk
2 tablespoon cinnamon
5 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Pour into a jar or airtight container (I used a Ziplock bag).

Attach the following directions to the jar or container:
In a mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Alternately beat in 2 cups of pancake mix and 1 cup water.
Heat a lightly greased skilled over medium high heat. Pour a heaping spoonful of batter onto a hot skillet. Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface and begin to break (about 2 to 3 minutes). Turn and cook 2 to 3 minutes more or until golden brown.

Enjoy!
