Ingredients
● 1 cup oats that can be processed into flour.
● l tablespoon of natural honey (or substitute with any sweetener).
● 1 large egg (for binding)
● 1/2 cup plain yogurt (as a secret ingredient that helps make the cookies fluffy).
● Salt (as for taste)
● Optional: For serving – maple syrup or honey.
● Optional: For toppings one should use fresh berries or nuts
Instructions
1: Prepare the Oat Flour:
- The oat should be ground to a very fine and powdery texture when ground using a food processor or simply a blender.
- This is similar to the so called “flour” part in the pancake mix, which means a structureless mass of interdependent grains.
2: Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl whisk egg, yogurt, honey, and vanilla essence until well blended into a smooth sheen.
3: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Slowly add the oat flour and baking soda into the wet mixture while slowly mixing from the bottom to the top.
- It is very important not to over mix the flour and yogurt so use a slow speed to lightly mix the ingredients.
4: Let the Batter Rest:
- Allow the batter to relax and, if possible, for 5-10 minutes.
- This helps the oats to prepare the liquid that they will be used with to make the pancakes fluffier.
5: Cook the Pancakes:
- A non stick skillet should be heated medium on your stovetop, not otherwise, and not everywhere else.
- lightly grease the skillet with oil.
- Place a small circle of ¼ cup of batter into this hot skillet.
- Fry until the top has formed some sort of rim around the edges of the pancake then flip it over and fry until nice and brown.
- Repeat this with the remaining batter. Add more butter if necessary, to have enough for the next step of the process.
6. Flip and Finish:
- To cook: 1 – 2 minutes on a single side and once the sides are full of bubbling, flip and fry for a further 1 – 2 minutes until they are golden.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- Spoon the pancakes one atop the other and accompany the dish with any sweet of your preference such as slices of fruit or honey or a spoonful of yogurt.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes:
● Don’t Overmix: Pancakes will be tough if too much time is taken to mix the batter. Stir with a few random clockwise and counterclockwise revolutions of the whisk.
● Perfect Temperature: To get an even griddle, make sure you fry the pancakes at moderate heat.
● Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to sit for a few minutes before you cook also helps the gluten to weaken making the pancakes fluffy.
● Get Creative with Toppings: Go creative by adding any topping of your choice to your pancakes. You can add chocolate chips, peanut butter, coconut flakes, and even chopped nuts as suggested above.
