Oatmeal Bacon Pancakes

Cook bacon strips in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and chop into small pieces.

Combine flour and fine oatmeal in a mixing bowl. Create a well in the center and add the beaten egg and buttermilk.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, leaving some small lumps. Fold in the chopped bacon pieces.

Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles on the surface.

Pour batter onto the hot skillet in 4-inch rounds, working in batches if needed. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges look dry and bubbles form on the surface.

Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer the finished pancakes to a warm plate and serve immediately with butter and honey or jam.
