5-Minute Healthy Oat Pancakes
Fluffy, sugar-free, and flourless—packed with fiber and protein! Perfect for a quick, guilt-free breakfast.
Ingredients (Makes ~8 pancakes)
2 cups oatmeal (220g rolled oats)
½ tsp salt (3g)
4 eggs
1 cup warm milk (250ml, any type)
3½ tbsp butter, melted (50g)
1 tbsp vanilla extract (or 1 tsp vanillin)
1 cup water (250ml, adjust for batter consistency)
Optional add-ins:
1 tsp cinnamon
½ mashed banana (for natural sweetness)
¼ cup blueberries or chopped nuts
Instructions
1. Blend the Batter (1 min):
In a blender, combine oats, salt, eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and water. Blend until smooth (30 secs).
Let rest 2 mins to thicken (oats absorb liquid).
2. Cook (2 mins):
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
Cook 1-2 mins per side until golden (no flipping too early!).
3. Serve Hot:
Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or sugar-free syrup.
