Just wanted to share a tip. I routinely make pancakes out of my Maple Oatmeal - just like the cookie recipe only with more water. I bought some Walden Farms syrup, but it has a weird bite to every... bite. It makes me pucker with each taste, but the after taste is good - like regular syrup. I always end up with a lot left on my plate no matter how little I try to use.
THEN I decided to put just a tablespoon of it in my pancake mix before I baked them. Now my pancakes have a nice maple flavor without the bite, pucker, wasted product, or mess. I just squirt some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on, and my pancake breakfast is portable.
