Hearty Oatmeal Pancakes With Maple Pecan Syrup

Sherri at the Beach's Note:

I used to serve these at my bed and breakfast on cool mornings to get my guests started off right. The oatmeal needs to be mixed the night before so plan ahead. It will be worth the wait. It is also great with 1 cup of blueberries added to the syrup for blueberry pecan oatmeal pancakes.

GREAT, GREAT BREASFAST! I love just about anything with raisins in it, & when combined with the nuts & REAL maple syrup, well . . . And these pancakes were unusual because of the combo of oatmeal & buttermilk, & all to the good! Thanks for a keeper of a recipe!

Made for My 3 Chefs. These were a nice change from regular pancakes. I've never had pancakes with raisins in them - they were very good. Reminded me of an oatmeal rasin cookie! The syrup was good as well. I love just about anything with maple syrup in it. Thanks for posting this Sherrijax!
