Fluffy Easy Oatmeal Pancakes (Made with Blended Oats)
Light and fluffy oatmeal pancakes made with blended oats and yogurt, offering a protein-rich, gluten-free breakfast option that's both nutritious and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 cups oats (instant oats work too)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt for extra protein
- 1 cup coconut milk or tiger nut milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tbsp butter for greasing; coconut oil also works especially well
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit such as sliced banana, mango, watermelon, or pineapple
Instructions
- Place the oats in a blender and process on high for 10 seconds until they become a fine powder.
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered oats and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the yogurt, milk, egg, and honey until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter forms. Avoid over-mixing to ensure your pancakes rise properly during cooking.
- Heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease with your chosen oil or butter.
- Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, until bubbles appear and pop on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional minute on the other side.
- Transfer the cooked pancake to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel, or keep warm in a preheated oven at 100°F/40°C while cooking the remaining pancakes.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
Notes
Serve these protein oatmeal pancakes hot, topped with fresh fruit for a complete breakfast. Their light, fluffy texture and wholesome ingredients make them an excellent choice for a nutritious start to your day.
Pro Tips:
- For extra-fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking
- Keep pancakes warm between batches by placing them in a low-temperature oven
- Adjust the milk quantity if needed - the batter should be thick but pourable
