Mickey Mouse Cinnamon-Oat Pancakes (Everyday Food)

Cinnamon-Oat Pancakes & Mickey Mouse Eggs
Guess where I'm going today?

I'm heading to Disneyland today to renew my Annual Pass. The Annual Pass rocks for a Southern California girl as you can go for just a few hours and just hang out. I've gone to DLand just to exercise and, well, negate all that with a corn dog (they have a crazy good corn dog).

This recipe for Cinnamon-Oat Pancakes is from Everyday Food of the Martha empire. You blitz half the old-fashioned oats in the food processor for a bit before adding the wet ingredients and whole oats.

I halved the recipe and really messed up! I was supposed to put 1/2 Tablespoon or 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, but used 1 1/2 T baking powder! I was wondering why the batter was all bubbly and exploding on me. It was an early morning chemical process lesson.

Even though it went all crazy, I liked the pancakes. I added blueberries to some of them. Next time, I'm going to sub some of the white flour for whole wheat flour, and throw in some chocolate chips. Oh yeah, and read the instructions!

Off to the Blue Bayou!

  4. I love your blog, and I'm so jealous that you live close enough to Disneyland to have an annual pass! I'm on the East Coast, and we make an annual trip to Disney World, but going all the time would be much better :-) It really is the happiest place on earth.

  11. These totally make me smile! I have never eaten at the Blue Bayou in the dozens of times I've been to Dland. Crazy, right? PS There are some AWESOME pickles next to Thunder Mountain.

  12. HOw cute is that!!?
    You know, I have a heart-shaped egg thingy like yours and the eggs always seeps through the bottom, so my egg never cooks in the shape of a heart. And I really don't know when I got so into hearts. Sheesh, they're like everywhere on my blog and in my apt.

  13. Too cute! I've never been to Disneyland, but I'm not much of a theme park / rollercoaster sort of person. I've done the tsp <-> Tbsp switch as well - nothing like a little chemistry in the morning :P

  15. I love the pictures! I went to Disneyland several times when I was in college (in Pasadena). We had a school holiday the Monday a week after President's Day, and it was a great time to go--no real lines.

  21. Those pancakes sound awesome. And although I'm not a big Disney fan ( I go maybe once every 3 years or so), the annual pass rocks for people who love it.

  22. What cute pancakes and eggs - my daughter would love those.

    How fun that you can just drop into Disneyland whenever - I remember going on "California" (discount) days growing up. And eating clam chowder at the Blue Bayou, which I thought was the most glamorous restaurant ever. It certainly is (or was) very atmospheric!
