If you are looking for a sugar free and savory version of pancakes for breakfast—then you’ve stumbled at the right place! These oatmeal pancake roll-ups has everything that can count as an ideal breakfast. It contains whole grains, proteins, fresh veggies and in small amounts dairy too.
I got an idea of making these oatmeal pancake roll-ups from Nutella or cream cheese filled french toast roll-ups. I feel God has given me a somewhat less sweet-craving tooth. This may be the reason that I have always look for recipes that are savory or less sweet. And, things are exactly the opposite with Dr. Gulati. He still gets confused while emptying the dishwasher and arranging cleaned dishes. But, he exactly knows where I keep all the sweet things in the house how hard I try to hide them. I think because of him you will find sweet recipes too on this blog. If you find anything sweet that you like here then thank him (:P).
Coming back to the oatmeal pancake roll-ups. These are very simple and easy to prepare. Combine eggs, veggies and microwave in a dish with a flat bottom. Then, cut the cooked egg-veggie block into stripes. Prepare pancakes in the old fashioned way and wrap the egg-veggie stripes with the cheese of your liking. If you want to make egg free pancakes then you can try this healthy oatmeal pancake recipe.

- Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat. Add baking soda to the pancake batter and mix well. Pour about 1/4 cup batter on the lightly greased pan and spread the batter to make pancakes as thin as possible (thin pancake will be easy to roll). When bubbles start to appear and surface seem to dry flip it over. Cook for about a min. and flip it over again.

Love the idea of baking the eggs then putting them in pieces into the roll-ups. Much neater than regular scrambled eggs. Brilliant! Don’t know if I’d be able to get the family to eat them, but, then, more for me.

Hi this is a really amazing idea! I will be using this recipe, however, I do not have a microwave at home. Would it be fine for me to bake the egg-veggie mixture instead? Thank you! 🙂
