These cinnamon oatmeal pancakes are not too sweet and are the perfect canvas for your favorite breakfast syrup or pancake topping. They taste particularly great with our homemade apple or butter pecan syrup!
When summer turns to fall, I can’t help but think of spices and apples, (think hot apple pie) and these easy and healthy cinnamon oatmeal pancakes are no exception. Serve them with our warm apple pancake syrup, and you will be in heaven.
The flavor profile is very simple. It’s just cinnamon, and is not too sweet, so it makes the perfect base for your favorite syrup. Classic maple would be amazing, but they’re also delicious with our homemade butter pecan or apple pancake syrup.
These healthy oatmeal pancakes come in at less than 200 calories per pancake, plus they’re super easy to make!
I think you will like these pancakes as is, but if you decide the cinnamon is too strong you can mellow it out by decreasing the amount of ground cinnamon to 1.5 teaspoon. I don’t recommend going any less than that so that you do not lose the cinnamon flavor altogether. To turn these into regular cinnamon pancakes, omit the rolled oats and add an additional ½ cup of all-purpose flour.
