These Oatmeal Pancakes offer a healthy and delicious breakfast option without using bananas. Made with oats, yogurt, and eggs, they provide a fluffy texture and subtle sweetness, perfect for a nutritious morning meal. The recipe involves simple ingredients and a straightforward cooking method on the stovetop, ideal for a quick and wholesome start to your day.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 small pancakes (serves 2)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • pinch of baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 Tbsp honey

For Cooking

  • 1 tsp coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Grind the oats: Using a nut grinder or food processor, finely grind the 1/2 cup oats into a flour-like consistency to create the base for the pancake batter.
  2. Mix yogurt and baking soda: In a small bowl, stir the yogurt with a pinch of baking soda until the mixture becomes fluffy and bubbles start to form. This step helps to neutralize the baking soda and activate the leavening.
  3. Add egg, vanilla, and honey: Whisk the egg into the yogurt mixture, then add the vanilla bean paste and honey. Combine thoroughly for a smooth, slightly sweet batter.
  4. Incorporate the oats and rest the batter: Stir the ground oats into the wet ingredients. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to soak and the batter to thicken. If too thick, thin it by adding 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk until spoonable.
  5. Preheat and prepare the pan: Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat. Coat the surface with coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Using a large spoon or ladle, pour small amounts of batter onto the pan, spacing pancakes well apart. Cook until bubbles begin to rise at the edges and the underside is golden, then flip carefully and cook the other side until equally golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, syrup, or nuts.

Notes

  • To achieve the best texture, make sure to grind oats finely for a smoother batter.
  • The resting time for the batter is important to let oats absorb moisture for fluffier pancakes.
  • If batter is too thick, add small amounts of liquid gradually to avoid overly runny pancake batter.
  • Use low to medium heat to prevent burning and allow even cooking of pancakes.
  • These pancakes are best served fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven if needed.
