blueberry oatmeal buttermilk pancakes

that's a mouthful to say! when we went to my step mother inlaw's cabin last summer, she made some yummy blueberry pancakes. she said they were the kind where you let the oats soak in buttermilk overnight. i love me a good oaty pancake! i searched online for a similar recipe. i found one but tried to make it more healthy since there's really never a good reason to eat pancakes. these ones have about 150-175 calories per pancake but maybe less since i changed the butter to half and used applesauce for the rest of what it called for. i doubled this and put the rest in the freezer for the rest of the week. try it! you're gonna like it! :)

tips..

-the first time i made these i burned half the batch. but i found that if you start the heat out somewhere between the low& med setting they turn out best.

-also the batter is thicker than usual pancake batter so make sure you spread out the pancake really well..or they wont cook all the way in the middle.
