Oats are a great source of vital nutrients, particularly fibres and thus it is ideal for morning breakfasts. However, I never liked oats prepared by cooking them in water (or milk). Basically, I am not a fan of its slimy appearance and taste. So I started to look for alternate recipes to incorporate oats in our meal. And finally I customized it to a savory version making healthy oatmeal pancakes that fit our likings perfectly.
