OATMEAL PANCAKE ADD-INS
Oatmeal pancakes can be very adaptable. I’ve made so many different variations for myself and my family.
You can add some banana, berries, apples, chocolate chunks, pears, cinnamon – pretty much anything you want into the batter and it’s going to work.
OATS NUTRITION AND HEALTH BENEFITS
So if you’re wondering why I’m making pancakes with oats and not using regular whole grain flour: well, it’s not because they have fewer calories.
It’s because oats are one of the healthiest grains in the world.
They contain a special kind of fiber called beta-glucan, which is a prebiotic and shown to lower cholesterol and improve your gut flora.
Oats are also a great source of protein, B-vitamins, iron, zinc and magnesium.
Plus I love their flavor and I always have oats in my pantry, whether I’m making pancakes or not. Whole grain flour? Not so much. I also find the pancakes get denser, and not enjoyable when I make them with store-bought whole grain-flour.
These flourless oatmeal pancakes are dairy-free, take 10 minutes to make using oats, eggs and honey, and make a healthy and easy kid-friendly breakfast idea!
PREP TIME: 5 mins
COOK TIME: 5 mins
TOTAL TIME: 10 mins
Ingredients:
-
1/2 cup oats, ground
-
1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
-
1 Egg
-
1 tsp vanilla
-
2 tbsp water or milk of choice
-
baking soda (just a pinch)
-
baking powder (just a pinch)
-
butter or coconut oil (for the pan)
-
ACV or lemon juice (about 1/3 tsp)
Instructions:
-
Grind the oats using a food processor or a nut grinder into flour.
-
Whisk the egg with honey and 2 Tbsp water or milk of your choice.
-
Add the ground oats, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla (I used ground vanilla, but you can also use vanilla extract).
-
Mix until you get a thicker mixture.
-
Another option would be to use whole oats and blend the mixture using a hand blender or a regular blender.
-
Cover the surface of a non-stick pan with coconut oil, butter or oil of your choice, heat the pan to medium (max. medium-high).
-
Using a spoon or a ladle, pour the pancake mixture into the pan, forming small pancakes.
-
Let the pancakes cook until bubbles come up on the surface and the edges seem cooked.
-
Depending on the temperature this could take 1-2 minutes.
-
Flip and fry until golden brown on the other side as well.
-
Serve immediately with honey, maple syrup, jam, chocolate, yogurt, butter, almond butter or fresh fruit!
Notes:
- Update: Lately, I’ve been adding a Tbsp of yogurt or 1/3 tsp of vinegar and 2 Tbsp df milk to the batter and it makes the pancakes so much fluffier, try it out – you can’t really taste the vinegar!
- Also I got some comments that the baking soda was too much – just pinch it and add a little bit!
