Oat Pancake Recipe

 

I LOVE pancakes. Almost every variety. I don't like savoury and I'm not a bacon and maple syrup kind of girl but sweet pancakes with strawberries or nutella or banana or ice cream.. they're what dreams are made of 🤤

These days, I'm trying to change my eating habits and be more aware so I've switched to oat pancakes. They fit with the food I eat and balance out well. I often get compliments on how good they look and although I'd love to make out I'm the next Mary Berry they're actually just very simple and I am not the best baker.

If you have read my post from last week you will know that I try and have pancakes every Sunday as part of my self care weekly reset - if you haven’t read it yet then pop and have a look here

I like to try a variety of toppings but the two go two favourites are caramelised cinnamon bananas or strawberries and Nutella.

Now I am really selling these so I had better show you what they are like! You may notice this picture has some slightly different branding - this is from the Instagram account I have with my best friend called The Hangry Birds which is our weight loss journey page.

Here are some I made recently with strawberries.

So to the important part - making them.

Ingredients 🛒

40g oats

2 medium eggs

50ml milk

1tbsp sweetener

1tsp vanilla (or any other flavour of your choice)

Method 🥣

1. Place the oats in a blender and blitz until they resemble a fine powder
2. In a bowl, separate the egg yolks keeping the whites for later
3. Add the blitzed oats, sweetener, milk and vanilla essence to the yolks and stir until fully combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks
5. Add one tablespoon of the firm egg white mixture and fold in to the oat mixture to loosen
6. Fold in the remaining egg white - the mixture should be light and fluffy.
7. Spray a large non stick frying pan with oil and place on a low heat
8. Once the oil is heated, spoon the mixture in to small rounds in the pan
9. Leave to cook until bubbles form on the top of each pancake and then flip them with a spatula
10. Leave to cook for a few minutes until golden brown on both sides
11. Continue until you’ve used all of the mixture and voila - pancakes are complete.
12. Add the toppings of your choice and enjoy 👩🏼‍🍳

The added tips of blending the oats and whisking the egg whites make all the difference to me - it makes them fluffier and a lot more filling which is great to assist in balancing my diet! If you are interested to know how I do caramelised cinnamon bananas let me know and I’ll feature it in a future post!
