I have developed a very healthy obsession with oatmeal since before my daughter was born. I would it late in my pregnancy since it was so easy to make and I was so tired in the mornings. It was also easy on my stomach and helped keep me regular. After giving birth a continued to chow down on oatmeal because it not only had vital nutrients for keeping me health but also aided in increasing and sustaining a breastmilk supply. Since I have been eating so a while, I have started to get more creative with it.

I love pancakes, but feel it can be such a chore to make them from a box or even scratch. I also have been wanting to cut down on my wheat consumption just because I tend to feel better when I do that. In came an idea of simply using oats as the flour replacement! Adding baking powder and an egg helped to bind it all together to make some quick and easy oat flour pancakes. It is basically oatmeal in pancake form.

My husband loves citrus fruit ESPECIALLY when in baked goods. Lately he has asked for Pineapple upside cake several times. He also requested it be sweet, indulgent and as original as possible. Naturally I turned to Google. I ended up finding a recipe on Betty Crocker. One that was a recipe for making it from scratch and not from a box. I did tweak it somewhat after the first as my husband believed it wasn't sweet or "pinapple-y" enough.
