Choice of Oats: Jumbo Organic Oats are great for adding a hearty texture and are ideal for a variety of oat pancake recipes. Speedicook Porridge Oats are ideal for quick prep and smooth texture. Use Granola for extra flavour and crunch.
Milk: Use your milk of choice. Oat, soya or almond milk are excellent dairy-free alternatives to use in your oat pancake recipes.
Baking Powder: This acts as a leavening agent, helping the oat pancakes rise and become fluffy.
Eggs or Dairy-free Alternative: Eggs provide structure to your oat pancake recipes and will help them rise. However, if you don’t want to use eggs, mashed or pureed bananas can be an excellent substitute, adding that moisture.
Fresh Fruit: Fresh fruits like berries, apple chunks and bananas pair well with oat pancakes and provide natural sweetness.
Brown Sugar and Honey: Add brown sugar or honey to your oat pancake recipes for natural sweetness that will enhance the flavour without the need for adding refined sugar.
Syrup and Pinch of Salt: A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of salt will elevate the flavour of your oat pancakes.
Ground Cinnamon, Nuts and Chocolate Chips: Ground Cinnamon brings warmth and depth to your oat pancakes. Nuts and chocolate chips are excellent toppings to add texture and elevate your meal.
Natural Yogurt: Natural yogurt will enhance your oat pancakes by making them tender and slightly tangy.. Additionally, it boosts the protein content of the pancakes, contributing to a more filling and nutritious meal.
Medium-Low Heat: Cook on a medium to low heat to avoid burning and sticking to the pan.
Cook until you see air bubbles appear on the surface: Carefully flip over once you start to see air bubbles appearing on the surface, allowing a few minutes on the other side.
Batter thickens as it sits: Simply stir more milk into your batter to loosen it up.
Experiment with toppings: Lather on all the toppings you like! Enhance your oat pancakes with toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, nut butter or syrup for added flavour and texture
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.
