Oregon griddle cakes are a delightful breakfast dish that originated in the Pacific Northwest. These tender and fluffy pancakes are made with a simple batter of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and milk. Eggs are typically not included in the batter, resulting in a lighter and airier texture. Oregon griddle cakes are traditionally served with butter and maple syrup, but they can also be topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or other desired toppings.
This article provides two variations of the classic Oregon griddle cake recipe. The first recipe is a straightforward version made with basic pantry staples. The second recipe incorporates wheat germ and oat bran for a healthier twist. Both recipes yield delicious and satisfying griddle cakes that are sure to please everyone at the table.
