Oat pancakes are an excellent alternative to traditional pancake recipes, offering higher levels of soluble fibre that can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. They also provide more protein, which supports muscle repair and growth. While some pancake recipes may include significant amounts of added sugar, particularly with extra toppings, oat pancakes remain delicious and deliver additional health benefits.
