Categories     Breakfast     Main Course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour ((blanched & finely ground recommended))
1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
2 tbsp Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
1 tsp Baking powder
5 large Eggs
1/3 cup Unsweetened almond milk ((or any milk of choice; may need more - see instructions))
1/4 cup Avocado oil ((or any neutral tasting oil that is liquid at room temperature))
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract ((optional, but recommended))
1/4 tsp Sea salt ((optional, but recommended))

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients together, until smooth. (Batter should be the consistency of typical pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a little more milk. Don't add too much, or the pancakes will be too "wet".)
  • Preheat a lightly oiled large non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-low to medium heat. (See notes below on oil options.) Drop the batter onto the hot pan and form into circles. Cover with a lid (this is important!) and cook about 1.5-2 minutes, until bubbles start to form on the edges. Flip and cook, uncovered this time, for another 1.5-2 minutes, until browned on the other side. (I love this thin turner for easy flipping.) Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Oatmeal Pancakes image

The BEST oatmeal pancakes! Healthy and easy oatmeal pancakes with yogurt and oat flour made right in your blender. Gluten free!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil (or melted, cooled unsalted butter or melted, cooled coconut oil)
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 cups old-fashioned oats (, divided (or quick oats; do not use steel cut or instant))
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup mix-ins of choice: toasted chopped nuts (, chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced fresh or dried fruit (optional))
For serving: pure maple syrup (, butter, or any of your favorite pancake toppings)

Steps:

  • If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Place the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, 1 1/4 cups oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a blender.
  • Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Continue blending until you don't see any remaining bits of oats.
  • Stop the blender, stirring the remaining 3/4 cup oats and any desired mix-ins. Do not blend again. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet/griddle and prep any toppings.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan if needed (some nonstick pans do not need this).
  • Once the skillet is hot, drop the batter by 1/4 cupful into the pan. Let cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the pancakes look dry at the edges and small bubbles form on top.
  • Gently flip, then cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should look golden on both sides. If desired, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven between batches. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve hot with desired toppings.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat will help the pancakes cook through without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them tough. Flip them only once, when bubbles start to form around the edges.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served fresh and hot. If you're making them ahead of time, keep them warm in a preheated oven until you're ready to serve.

Conclusion:

These healthy freezer pancakes are a great way to enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast without having to spend hours in the kitchen. They're easy to make, can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months, and are perfect for busy mornings.
