Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes

Every once in a great while, I actually fix breakfast - meaning something other than melting cheese on bread, fixing a bowl of oatmeal, etc. I had nearly a quart of buttermilk left over from last week's dinner party, so I decided to do some "google cooking" - I searched for a recipe using buttermilk and oats. What I found was a yummy-sounding recipe from the Wolfe Manor Inn Bed and Breakfast, Ashland, Oregon. (Sounds like someplace I need to visit.) I didn't make the citrus sauce, and I halved the recipe to make it more manageable for two. (And I still had leftovers.) Give this a try. It's yummy. Note for WWers: one pancake is 5 points. But! If you make the recipe with olive or canola oil, one pancake also gives you your 2 tsp of healthy oils for the day (and in a most delightful way). * * * * * Oatmeal Buttermilk Pancakes Wolfe Manor Inn Bed and Breakfast, Ashland, Oregon - Specialty Recipe 5/8 cup old fashioned (rolled) oats 1 cup buttermilk 1 each egg 1/2 cup flour 1.5 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 cup vegetable oil 3/8 cup chopped pecans 1 In a medium bowl, stir together oatmeal and buttermilk until well coated.
