Oatmeal Sour Cream Pancakes with Cinnamon Honey Butter.

Melissa Beene Ford/ Cooking


I get a little bored with breakfast.

Oh don’t get me wrong; I LOVE breakfast… for dinner, or on Saturday mornings when the girls and I make pancakes…

I just have a hard time actually cooking breakfast in the mornings, which I know comes as a shock to those of you who know me well what with me being such an efficient, task-oriented morning person and all.

So our breakfast usually consists of Ezekiel toast and organic eggs or steel-cut oatmeal, when I’m trying to be healthy, or…. (boxed cereal) when ‘healthy’ goes out the window.

The beauty of this pancake recipe is that its fast AND YET still mostly healthy, or at least could be adapted to be a little more Nourishing Traditions if you wanted to.

Oatmeal Sour Cream Pancakes

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon packed dark or light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (I used plain Greek yogurt this time, but I’ve tried both and its just as tasty either way)
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
oil for cooking

Put oats & all other dry ingredients into a food processor and process 1-2 minutes until the oats are finely ground. Add the wet ingredients and press the pulse button a few times until the batter is mixed.

And I assume you know what to do next. 😉

The extras can be frozen and reheated for those of you who have frenzied, frazzled mornings trying to get yourself and two little girls ready and out the door on time. Not that I would know anything about that.

Cinnamon Honey Butter

one stick of butter, softened (though if you want to use a pound of butter as shown in this picture, go ahead… knock yourself out. There is no such thing as ‘too much butter,’ after all.)
3-4 tablespoons of honey
about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon

These measurements aren’t exact; adjust them to your taste. Mix and spread on your warm pancakes.

~~~~~
Someday soon I’ll go into why exactly butter, honey, and cinnamon are GOOD for you… for those of you who haven’t read Nourishing Traditions.

Meanwhile, just trust me on that, and enjoy your delicious, mostly-healthy pancakes!

    My Annie LOVES pancakes (as do most of the others), so I will definitely have to make this. <br /><br />PS. What&#39;s this you speak of?? Harried mornings?? Hmm…I&#39;ll have to think if I can remember having one of those…

I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 I don’t know who’s big idea it was to strip 80 years of paint off of this door down to the wood and start over… but that person has no business starting new projects. 😅 My neighbors must have thought this project would never end. *I* thought this project would never end. 😰 If you’re thinking of doing this yourself? Just don’t, ok? Throw the whole door away and buy a new one. 😂🤣 Just kidding.  Old house weirdos like me… we can’t just do things the easy way. Anyhoo… after some trial and error, @sherwinwilliams Celestial is what I landed on, and I have to say… I like it. Periwinkle-ish blue looks great with the yellow house and will look even better when the azaleas are in bloom. Was it all worth it? That’s not important right now. 🤭 Will I do this all again in two years? The magic eight ball says… without a doubt. 👏🏻 I’ve already picked the next color. #gluttonforpunishment #somefoolsneverlearn #oldhouselove #oldhomelove #makinghome #southernliving #gardenandgun #azaleadistrict #tylertx

2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrollin 2022 had its highs and lows for sure, but scrolling through my pics from the last twelve months made me realize how blessed and content I am. Prosperity, love, and peace have been ours in abundance, in spite of the pain of losing my dad. The second picture is the last picture of him… the last time I saw him. 💔 But God has been good to my family this year and 2022 is ending far better than it began. 😄 #2022inreview #thanksforthememories
Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍ Who wants a Christmas tour of my home? 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s it. That’s the tour. (Slide two). 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s a new trend I’m starting: bare Christmas tree. Lowe’s tag still attached (so quirky and unexpected)! Christmas ornaments still in boxes. Coming soon to an Anthropologie window display near you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every year I think, “next year I’ll do better. Next year I’ll have it together.” And then, here we are on the SIXTH Christmas that we’ve been in this house, the sixth Christmas I’ve dragged our chaotic bunch of Christmas mess out of a chaotic garage I still haven’t unpacked from our move six years ago. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe this year is the year I’ll organize it all and put it back neatly so that by Christmas number 7, it will be smooth sailing. People will flock to my social media to see how I’ve pulled everything off SO PERFECTLY. Next year will be my year. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seems every year there’s less and less bandwidth for all these things. There’s more grief and stress, less money. More demands, less grace. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I put this sign on the wall in my office so I could keep it in front of my eyes: Love. Joy. Peace. And all that. I am SO unlike Jesus most days. So lacking in all of these character qualities. And that’s WITH waking up most mornings and spending my first 30 minutes with God Himself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How lost would I be without that? Geez. I can’t fathom. I REQUIRE being transformed by renewing my mind every single morning, and even then, responding to people and life with love, joy, peace and patience doesn’t come naturally. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s the goal, though. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This weary world needs that from us Believers during this season, more than ever… even more than an Anthropologie-window-display worthy Christmas home tour. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m working on both.
