Oatmeal Pancakes

I love this recipe because it has some fiber, iron, calcium, all good things for kids to start the day with.  It goes together easily and you could double or triple the batch to give yourself some to freeze for use during the week.  (Freeze by using a cut paper towel between pancakes and storing in freezer bag.)  You could also add fresh fruit, some chocolate chips, etc to the batter to help entice your little picky eater... or even make a fun shape with the batter.  Mickey Mouse ears come to mind for some reason ;)
