Notes
*Use old fashioned or quick oats. Do not use instant oats or steel cut oats.*One cup of raspberries is about ½ of a 6 oz. container*You can use maple syrup or honey, depending on personal preference in the pancakes and the sauce. I prefer maple syrup in the pancakes and honey in the sauce, but it's up to you to decide.
