Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes 

Did you receive some Joseph's Grainery Multigrain Pancake Mix for Christmas?  What?  You haven't already devoured a stack of those delicious and hearty pancakes?  Well, first we recommend you try making the pancakes as directed on the packaging, but if you've done that already and looking for a fun twist, may we recommend Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes?!

Ingredients for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes:

1/2 c oatmeal
1 c Joseph's Grainery Multigrain Pancake Mix
2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c buttermilk (need a buttermilk substitute?)
1/4 c chocolate chips

Directions:  In a large bowl mix together the dry ingredients.  In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla and buttermilk.  Add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are combined.  Ladel the pancake batter onto a hot griddle, add a few (or several) chocolate chips to the batter and cook as you normally would cook pancakes.  Serve up with your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!
