\"Fall<\/a>This is a very serious bicycle advocacy blog. You’re here to hear about all the latest, hot-off-the-press advocacy news. <\/p>\n

But why do you care about bike advocacy?<\/p>\n

I’d bet my bottom dollar it’s because you’re a bicyclist. <\/p>\n

And if you’re a bicyclist, you probably share one of my interests: Food. That’s why I’m sharing this pancake recipe. I found it a while ago and found it makes delicious, heartier-than-normal pancakes that keep me riding for many miles (the picture shows some of the miles I rode fueled by these pancakes). It\u2019s almost like oatmeal in pancake form \u2014 truly a cyclist\u2019s dream breakfast.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b>
1 C. milk
3\/4 C. quick-cooking rolled oats (My note:<\/i> I use a very grainy oatmeal called Vermont Morning<\/a> for this \u2013 mmm, hearty, slightly crunchy still, all-round fabulous, delicious, and wonderful oatmeal for normal oatmeal eating, cookies, or in pancakes as described below)<\/p>\n

3\/4 C. all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1\/4 teaspoon salt
1\/8 teaspoon baking soda<\/p>\n

2 beaten eggs
1 tablespoon cooking oil<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In small sauce pan, heat milk until warm. Stir in oats; turn the heat down to simmer or turn it off entirely and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. <\/li>\n
  3. After 5 minutes, stir the oat mixture into the flour mixture.<\/li>\n
  4. In a separate container, stir together beaten eggs and cooking oil.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the eggs and cooking oil all at once to the flour-oat mixture. <\/li>\n
  6. Stir mixture just until blended but still slightly lumpy. Do not over-mix!<\/i><\/li>\n
  7. Heat a griddle or pan on medium-low. For each pancake, pour about 1\/4 C. of the batter onto a hot, lightly-greased griddle or heavy skillet and let spread to about 4-inch circle.
    My note:<\/i> Sprinkle freshly-poured pancake with fresh or frozen berries, chocolate chips, sliced apples and walnuts, or other deliciousness to add a little more flavor.<\/li>\n
  8. Cook pancakes until they are golden brown, turning to cook the second side when the pancakes have a bubbly surface and slightly dry edges. My note:<\/i> these tend to burn easily. Cook slowly at medium-low or they will end up dark brown or burned rather than golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Serve with real maple syrup, buttered with powdered sugar, topped with fresh-sliced fruit or microwaved frozen fruit. I find just two of these pancakes gives me enough energy to ride 20 or 30 miles easily. <\/p>\n

    Cool any extra pancakes on a cookie cooling rack and store in a Ziploc baggie (refrigerated if > 1 day). You can even carry them in your back pocket for on-the-road nutrition. Reheat in the microwave or eat cold as a quick, hearty snack.<\/p>\n

    Yum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
