Recipe Trading Post: Oatmeal-Buttermilk Pancakes

A few years back I started the Weight Watchers program. 

Once or twice a year they publish a special magazine filled with recipes.

In June 2009, I purchased the Weight Watchers 20 Minute Cookbook

recipes special. 

It features 174 recipes for all types of dishes. 

One of my favorites is the Oatmeal-Buttermilk Pancakes (pg 11).

They're easy to make and very filling!
