Oatmeal Pancakes with Dried Fruit and Nuts

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds, roughly chopped
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or dried currants
2 tsp demerara sugar or brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

DIRECTIONS

Place the nuts in a single layer in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir or shake the nuts continually for 5 to 7 minutes or until they start to turn golden. Remove them from the pan.

In a bowl, mix the eggs and milk. Add the oatmeal, dried fruit, brown sugar, and vanilla to the bowl.

Heat and butter the frying pan. Ladle batter into the pan and cook pancakes until just brown on each side (about 2 minutes).

Top pancakes with yogurt and toasted nuts.
