Make a Gluten-free Mother’s Day Brunch featuring Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes!

The year was 1979 and my mother and I were sitting in the kitchen. I was having a snack and drinking diet chocolate soda (Do they even still make chocolate soda?) and my mother was at the sink washing dishes.

Growing up my favorite breakfast was Quaker Oats’ maple and brown sugar oatmeal. While I would tire of this cereal or that, I never got bored with maple and brown sugar oatmeal. To this day, it is still my favorite way to eat oatmeal though I usually go with nuts and raisins instead. The days of sugary breakfasts are gone with my youth.
