Its distinct song piercing the quiet morning signals another day beginning. Soon there will be four kids milling about in different states of waking: rubbing sleep from their eyes, showering, flopping on the couch in protest to the sunrise.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOur morning routines are a bit chaotic at best, with everyone crowding into the kitchen as I lay out the day&#8217;s offerings for breakfast while prepping lunch boxes simultaneously. They&#8217;re filling containers with fruit or vegetables, cracking eggs, and asserting that the pasta salad that&#8217;s sitting out is &#8220;not good for them,&#8221; as I delve into our corner cabinet for the frying pan. We&#8217;re all elbows and bumped shoulders as we travel through the morning.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nChoices are the hardest part of the morning. What to make for breakfast? What to send for lunch? I do better with a plan, yet I&#8217;m inclined to eschew them in favor of spontaneity (read: chaos). I figure I put food in the refrigerator, took time to plan dinners. What else is there? Rather than plan out my morning and afternoon menus, too, I tend to stock up on staples and fall back on a regular rotation of options.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16538\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-Griddle-Cakes-Recipe-Pancakes-untopped.jpg\" alt=\"Steel-Cut Oat Griddle Cakes Recipe | FoodforMyFamily.com \" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-Griddle-Cakes-Recipe-Pancakes-untopped.jpg 600w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-Griddle-Cakes-Recipe-Pancakes-untopped-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nOats are one of my favorite go-to breakfast options because they provide me the opportunity to fill the kids up and give them a meal that will last until lunchtime. However, oatmeal alone won&#8217;t get the job done. While it provides the stick-to-your-ribs goodness, it&#8217;s what you add to the oats that really gives them the energy to get through their day.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWith 8 grams of high-quality protein per cup, switching up my regular oatmeal recipes to be made with organic milk instead of water delivers essential nutrients and 2.5x the protein to our oats. Plus, cooking with milk adds a bit of natural sweetness to the oatmeal without the need for an overload of extra sweeteners.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis recipe for steel-cut oat pancakes is a favorite around our house. I make a large pot of steel-cut oats with organic milk the first day and then serve oatmeal bowls for breakfast. Once everyone has had their fill, I stir in the walnuts and flavorings, spread it into a pan, and store it in the refrigerator for tomorrow&#8217;s breakfast. That way it&#8217;s quick and easy on Day 2, just cutting them into pancakes and searing them until they&#8217;re toasted. Pair with an 8-ounce glass of organic milk to start your day off right.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe top our pancakes with any number of things, but a favorite is always fresh fruit and Greek yogurt with a small drizzle of honey, adding color, sweetness, and even more of a protein boost to the meal.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16535\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-Pancakes-recipe-topped-side.jpg\" alt=\"Steel-Cut Oat Griddle Cakes Recipe | FoodforMyFamily.com \" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-Pancakes-recipe-topped-side.jpg 690w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-Pancakes-recipe-topped-side-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Steel-Cut Oat Griddle Cakes\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Shaina Olmanson\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-04\",\"recipeYield\":4,\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-recipe-Pancakes-topped-45-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-recipe-Pancakes-topped-45-480x360.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-recipe-Pancakes-topped-45.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/Steel-Cut-Oat-griddle-cakes-recipe-Pancakes-topped-45-480x270.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"Breakfast\",\"prepTime\":\"PT5M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT40M\",\"performTime\":\"PT40M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT45M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"3 cups organic milk\",\"1 cup water\",\"1 \\u00bd cups organic steel-cut oats\",\"1\\\/2 cup finely chopped walnuts\",\"1 teaspoon vanilla\",\"1 teaspoon cardamom\",\"\\u00bc teaspoon salt\",\"1 teaspoon butter\",\"2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced\",\"1 cup plain Greek yogurt\",\"Honey or maple syrup, if desired\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Mix together milk and water in a medium saucepan.
