Pancake is a traditional old recipe which is a very famous breakfast recipe in European countries. I made that traditional pancake many a times but never found it healthy due to all-purpose flour added in it.I started making this recipe with half of all-purpose flour and half of powdered oats and then finally gave it a try with 100% oats.
Once or twice I couldn't nailed it that perfect as after trying again and again I realized only one important thing and that is, oats absorb more of liquid due to which the batter consistency becomes thick. To get the right consistency you need to add extra milk.
You will realize while making pancakes that after sometime the batter will become thick and oats will absorb all the milk, so do add milk little by little as and when required.
Serve with maple syrup and let kids enjoy this healthy pancake.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup powdered oats
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp powdered sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
1 egg
1 cup warm or room temperature milk (might require 1 1/2 cup depending on the quality of oats)
METHOD
In a bowl mix together powdered oats, powdered sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Keep aside.
Melt butter. Take another bowl, beat egg till frothy, add melted butter. Now add this mix in flour mix. Add milk little by little whisking batter continuously, making sure no lumps are formed, if possible use whisker.
The batter should be thick but flowing as shown in pic below.
Heat pan, preferably non-stick. Pour 1/2 tsp oil, clean the pan with tissue paper. Pour ladle full of batter and cook on low to medium flame. Once you see bubbles appearing on the top it means it's cooked and ready to flip.
Flip and cook from other side too.
Serve with maple syrup.
1. Don't keep batter for too long or it will not give good results.
2. It's very important to note that depending on the quality of oats proportion of milk can vary from 1 cup to 1 1/2 cup.
3. If the batter becomes thick and absorb milk after sometime do add more milk little by little to get right consistency batter.
4. Don't cook on high flame else pancake will burn from outside and will remain raw from inside.
