Oatmeal Pancakes

Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• • Oatmeal: 2 cups (220 g)

• • Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, sugar, etc.): 3 tbsp (50 g)
  • Salt: 1/2 tsp (3 g)
  • Eggs: 4 large

• • Warm Milk: 1 cup (250 ml)
  • Butter, melted: 3 1/2 tbsp (50 g)
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 tbsp

• Water: 1 cup (250 ml)
• Oil for frying: A drop of neutral oil (canola, sunflower, or vegetable)

Directions

• • Prepare the Oatmeal Mixture:
    • • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of oatmeal, 3 tbsp of sweetener, and 1/2 tsp of salt.

  • Add Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, lightly beat the 4 eggs. Gradually add the warm milk to the oatmeal mixture, stirring continuously. Then, add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.

• • Adjust Consistency:
    • Slowly add 1 cup of water to the batter, stirring to achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
  • Heat the Pan and Cook the Pancakes:
    • • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a drop of oil. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.

  • Flip and Cook the Other Side:
    • Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

• Serve and Enjoy:
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, yogurt, maple syrup, honey, or nut butter.

Serving Suggestions

• • Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.

• Top with fresh berries, banana slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
• For a savory twist, serve with scrambled eggs and sautéed vegetables.

Cooking Tips

• • Use warm milk to help the batter mix more easily and result in fluffier pancakes.

• Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
• Ensure a non-stick pan or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking.
