Light, fluffy and healthy oatmeal pancakes. Rich in fiber content and ideal for sugar-free morning breakfasts. Prepare the batter the night before and use it the next morning.
Oats are a great source of vital nutrients, particularly fibers, 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 into our meals. And finally, I customized it to a savory version making fresh pancakes that fit our likings perfectly.
Now, this recipe is our all-time favorite. It is instant and very easy to prepare and ideal for busy morning breakfasts. You can prepare the batter well in advance, refrigerate and use it the next morning to prepare delicious healthy oatmeal pancakes.
