Kris Kringle Cakes


Okay, so I know it's a little early for Christmas...but these pancakes are perfect for a fall morning too.


My mom used to make a version similar to these during the winter and their warm cinnamon oatmeal flavor would be a great way to start a weekend.


Yum.  I can smell them now. 

Kris Kringle Cakes - Adapted from Mom

1/2 C white wheat flour
1/2 C wheat flour
1 C oats (I used quick cook)
2 T brown sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/3 C applesauce
1 C milk (+ a little extra)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix together applesauce, egg, and vanilla.


Add milk.

Then, mix together the dry ingredients.


Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until moist. You may need to add additional milk if the mixture seems overly thick. I added about 1/8 C more milk because as the mixture sits, it gets thicker.


Cook pancakes on a griddle heated to medium. Flip when little bubbles begin to form.



Enjoy warm, topped with fruit syrup, maple syrup, or applesauce!

  2. Kris Kringle? Argh, another sign that Christmas is on the way - I've seen several in the past couple of days; I am so not prepared or ready.

    They sound really tasty though!

  11. Pancakes are wonderful when they're made from scratch - a huge knotch above the boxed kind.

    Noticed you used applesauce - what did you sub it for? Oil?

  16. OK Girl, you are 2 for 2! (Well, actually 4 for 4 if you count the cheese steaks and rolls...!) We tried these with the blueberry syrup and have another family winner!! They can't wait for tomorrow so they can have peanut butter sandwiches on these (a tradition around our house)!! Can't wait to try more of your recipes =)

  17. I am an old home cook that "retired" a few years ago and has had to come out of retirement. I stumbled upon you site and am really LIKING quite a few of your recipes (including this one)! I love how you SHOW how its done. GREAT JOB! I will be sending this on to my daughter who is just starting her "mommyhood" (and I am picky about what I send her for cooking)!
