It’s been more than 30 years since I last tasted those pancakes, but it was a happy memory revived when I picked up a package of Tastefully Simple’s new Blueberry Oat Bar Mix. Knowing the versatility of TS products, I couldn’t help wondering if I could use the mix to recreate Dad’s blueberry pancakes – this time with the wholesome addition of oats and flaxseed in the mix.
After just a little experimentation, I made it into a simple batter that fried up into delicious, surprisingly fluffy hotcakes. The sweet blueberries and light brown sugar flavoring took me right back to that long-ago campsite. I call 'em Oat-M-G! Blueberry Pancakes, and I’m pretty sure my Dad would have approved.
Blueberry Oat Bar Mix is my favorite of Tastefully Simple’s new seasonal line. I keep a pan of bars, prepared as directed, baked up as a grab-n-go option for those mornings I don’t have time for a sit-down breakfast.
Made into crispy-chewy cookies, they’re a delightful treat to tuck into a lunchbox or offer with a glass of milk after school. They can even serve as the crust for a dessert pizza topped with cream cheese and sliced, fresh fruits.
My advice? Don’t be afraid to experiment a little with the Tastefully Simple products you love. They’re crazy delicious and incredibly easy by design … just waiting for your creativity to transform into something extraordinary!
