What I really like about these pancakes is the spices: pure natural vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger mixed with fresh grated apple. Can you imagine how fragrant and delicious!!!.My husband ( who does not need to lose weight) loved them too. Of course he put some nut butter and banana topping on his.
My Secret Recipe Club blog assignment for May is Successful2gether , and that is where I found the recipe..I literally found 8 breakfast recipes using oatmeal which were naturally gluten free ( if you buy GF oats) .
I can't even begin to tell how good the pancakes were and how much variety they added to my Weight Watcher breakfasts!
It's a wonderful pancake whether you are watching your weight or not . It also could be a good way to get kids to eat oatmeal. Oats are said to bring down cholesterol and add needed fiber to the diet.
So, if you like pancakes, enjoy.
I topped my pancakes with mashed banana ( fabulous); I topped my husband's pancakes with my banana peanut butter topping ( amazing). We were both very happy.
The recipe called for a packet of sweetener , which I omitted, but I think it was great without it.
Recipe for one; (can be doubled)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of quick oats ( I used gluten free oats)
1 egg ( I use eggland's Best which has 25% less saturated fat)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of ground ginger ( optional) ( I used fresh grated ginger because I love it)
1/2 apple, grated
Directions:
Beat egg, add oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and grated apple. Mix well and drop pancakes onto a warmed oil sprayed skillet. Turn over when browned and then brown the other side. It can be made into 3-4 small pancakes or one big pancake.

I used the exact same recipe, but I wanted to try making the oats into a flour-like consistancy, so I the oats in a spice grinder I included this version because my husband liked it this way too.

ReplyDeleteI like that you tried it both ways--with the whole oats and the "oat flour" Thanks for sharing how both turned out.
ReplyDeleteI love that these are gluten free, my mom and sister will love this. Apple and cinnamon is one of my favourite flavor combinations.
ReplyDeleteI really like the grated ginger in it too.

Betsy,
DeleteThanks for letting me know about the avocado and asparagus potluck. I'll be over to check it out.
Those look very tasty, Judee. Nice. Meredith will probably give the oats a try. She frequently adds bran as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to admit that the pancakes I made Meredith for Mother's Day were from a package. My goal was to make pretty shapes with a squeeze bottle, and pancakes aren't my thing to begin with (they're Meredith's speciality).
Dan,
DeleteWhat a great idea to use a squeeze bottle for the batter to make shapes. I've gotta try that!
I am a big ginger fan. I'll bet these smell amazing while they're cooking. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteA great combination for your awesome pancakes!
ReplyDeleteCooking with you in the SRC-B
