🥞 Healthy Oat Pancakes – No Sugar, No Flour (Ready in 5 Minutes!)

✅ Ingredients

  • 2 cups oatmeal (220g) – use rolled oats or quick oats
  • ½ tsp salt (3g)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup warm milk (250ml) – dairy or plant-based (like almond or oat milk)
  • 3½ tbsp melted butter (50g) – or use coconut oil for a dairy-free option
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract (or a pinch of vanillin)
  • 1 cup water (250ml)

🍳 Instructions

1. Blend the Batter

In a blender, combine all ingredients: oats, salt, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and water.
Blend on high for about 30–60 seconds until smooth and slightly thick. The batter should be pourable.

No blender? You can soak the oats in the liquids for 10–15 minutes and then mix by hand until smooth.

2. Heat the Pan

Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.

3. Cook the Pancakes

Pour a small amount of batter (about ¼ cup) into the pan and spread it gently.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges set. Flip and cook for 1–2 more minutes until golden.

4. Serve Warm

Serve immediately with your favorite healthy toppings!

🥣 Optional Toppings

  • 🍌 Sliced banana or fresh berries
  • 🍯 Drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  • 🥥 Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 🥜 Nut butter (peanut, almond, etc.)
  • 🍎 Apple slices and cinnamon

📝 Tips for Success

  • ✅ If the batter is too thick, add a bit more water or milk.
  • ✅ Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes for fluffier pancakes.
  • ✅ Use a non-stick pan or lightly oiled skillet to prevent sticking.
  • ✅ For added flavor, mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
