Every once in a while, I get in the mood for a hearty pancake.
Pinterest came through for me and brought this lovely link to my attention- Laura's Sweet Spot.
I more or less followed the recipe {which is originally from Rachel Ray}, but switched the raisins for chocolate chips {of course}. Oh my, they are good!!
Oatmeal Pancakes!
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon *I will add more, next time!
- 2 ounces, ¼ cup, chopped walnuts
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 really ripe bananas, mashed up
- ¾ cup raisins *substitute chocolate chips, if so desired!
- ½ stick butter, ¼ cup, melted, plus additional for buttering skillet *I use part butter/part light olive oil.
- Mix dry ingredients, the first 7, in a bowl. In a another bowl (I pulverized mine in a food processor a bit, to break up the nuts and oats), mix the wet ingredients, the next 4. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then fold in the mashed up bananas and the raisins. Stir in the melted butter.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush with additional melted butter. Cook pancakes, each about ⅓ cup, until bubbles form on the top, then turn. Cakes will cook in about 2 minutes on each side. Keep pancakes tented with foil as they come off the griddle to keep them hot. Serve with drizzled honey or maple syrup over the top.
- *They were so good, I didn't even NEED syrup. That says a lot, coming from this sugar-aholic!
I'm guessing that everyone reading this is either addicted to Pinterest OR has at least heard of Pinterest. For those who have just moved to the country, check out what all the buzz is about here.
Over the last few months, I've been happily building some extra Pinterest boards, with my fabulous clients in mind!
We always put a lot of thought and discussion into what you or your kiddos should wear, but now I've made it easier for you, with visual aids, aka Pinterest Pins!
The boards are pretty straightforward, with names like girls {country chic}, lovely ladies {city chic}, etc...
Simply think about the location of our session, find the board that best represents the look that we're aiming for, and have fun letting your imagination run wild!
These are all just ideas. You certainly do not need to find the exact outfits that are shown on the boards. They are there for your inspiration! Feel free to let me know if you do purchase an outfit from one of the boards. Then my imagination can run wild, as I envision the shoot, with those clothes!
If you find ideas that you love, that are not on my boards, I recently created a board titled "Kim Winey Photography {Client's Ideas}" Send me your Pinterest name and I'll add you to the board. This will allow you to pin clothing and even location ideas, for me to see!
*Please use Pinterest integrity and pin photos from their original source (blogs, sites, etc...). A blogger or site who is in favor of having their photos pinned will have a "pin it" button option. Etsy is a great source for unique clothing and offers Pinning!*
You can start following Kim Winey Photography boards here!
Happy Pinning!!
