I've been drowsily honing this recipe on weekends for years
Updated: January 2024

This recipe serves a hungry family of 4 with some leftovers, which make great mini PB&J sandwiches for lunch later in the day.

Directions

Notes

Batter will be thick! You can milk/water it down, but it should be thick.

Dry Ingredients

ThingsNotes

1/4 cup (20g) Rolled Oats
3/4 cup (75g) Crushed pecansOr walnuts
1 Diced apple 1Or a mess of blueberries, thaw first if they’re frozen otherwise the cakes’ll be runny in the middle

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

Wet Ingredients

ThingsNotes
2 1/4 cups Buttermilkor milk with a tbsp of lemon juice or a few tablespoons of yogurt mixed in
