pancakeOatmeal makes a great base for these hearty, chewy pancakes, which are lighter in texture than they sound. Kids always love pancakes and these are healthier than most with fiber and protein.
Ingredients
2 cups 500 ml 2 rolled oats
2 1/2 cups 625 ml buttermilk, divided
1/2 cup 125 ml cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
1 tsp 5 ml baking powder
1 tsp 5 ml baking soda
1/4 tsp 1 ml cinnamon
1/4 tsp 1 ml salt
2 2 large eggs
1/4 cup 60 ml canola oil
1 tbsp. 15 ml honey or maple syrup
Canola oil cooking spray or extra canola oil for cooking
Directions
- In large bowl, stir together oats and 2 cups (500 mL) buttermilk. Set aside for an hour or until buttermilk is absorbed and oats are soft. (To do this ahead of time, cover and refrigerate overnight.)
- In small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to softened oatmeal.
- Add remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) buttermilk along with eggs, canola oil, honey or maple syrup. Stir with rubber spatula just until well combined.
- Heat large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and spray with canola oil cooking spray or brush with canola oil.
- Cook about 1/2 cup (125 mL) batter at a time; spread it out with bottom of ladle or spoon (it will be thick) to about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook until edges appear dry and bubbles begin to break on surface. Using thin spatula, flip and cook until golden on other side.
- Repeat with remaining batter. If you like, keep cooked pancakes warm in 200 ˚F (100 ˚C) oven while cooking rest. Serve with maple syrup and enjoy!
Notes
- If you like, scatter the tops of pancakes with fresh or frozen blueberries or sliced banana as soon as you spread the batter into the pan; this way, the fruit is evenly distributed and the blueberries won't turn the batter purple with their juice. Freeze leftover pancakes with a piece of waxed paper in between them to pop into the toaster (straight from frozen) on busy weekday mornings.
