Easy to Make Oatmeal Pancakes: A Healthy Breakfast for Your Sweetheart

A Special Breakfast for A Special Occasion

How does spoiling your loved ones with flourless, refined sugar-free and fruity oatmeal pancakes sound? If not often, at least on special occasions, such as a birthday or Valentine’s Day?

Whenever you feel like showing your love on a healthy plate, this breakfast recipe will do just that. Be assured that the beneficiary will appreciate and enjoy your effort!

Healthy oatmeal pancakes are an excellent substitute for getting out of your porridge routine; even more when the occasion is special. So why not spoil your sweetheart on a Valentine’s Day morning with some heart-shaped pancakes and a steamy cappuccino?

Not that a freshly made bunch of pancakes would not appeal to children, too.

So, dads/husbands/boyfriends/elderly sons of the world, this recipe is for you to make on a cosy morning or a holiday alike and enjoy with the special ones in your lives!

Of course, you could show the love in many ways for the entire duration of the day, and find inspiration for various meals to cook or activities to do in this Valentine’s Day round-up.

To start the day, you can surprise anybody by preparing a special breakfast that is healthy and easy to make at the same time.

Use oats as a substitute for flour and whatever fruits you can find in the fridge or cupboards, or even pick fresh from your garden if you are lucky to have one and the right weather for ripe berries.

Substitute sugar with an extra ripe banana. You would not only add the health benefits of a largely underestimated fruit, but will stay away of refined or excess sugar too.

Just make sure to get up before the rest of the household and preferably grind the oats the night before. If you manage to limit the noise factor and alert the entire family of your intentions, you’ll save the surprise element, an essential part of this recipe!

Have fun making these healthy oatmeal pancakes and enjoy savouring them with your loved ones!

Ingredients for Easy Oatmeal Pancakes:

Organic oats

An extra ripe banana

Organic coconut sugar

Almond milk

Organic eggs

Spices (cinnamon, cloves, ginger)

Orange zest (always choose organic to avoid pesticides and wax in peel!)

Salt

Fresh/dried fruits

Maple syrup (look for a grade A one, if possible)

Method:

Grind the oats using any grinding machine. I used a Nutribullet; it was quick, efficient and available!

Peel the banana and crush it using a fork. Remember, the riper the banana, the sweeter the taste!

Add the sugar, spices and egg yolks. Mix using a hand-held mixer until it becomes creamy, then add the milk and incorporate well with a spoon. Add the ground oats and mix again.

Separately, add some salt to the egg whites. Beat with a hand-held mixer at high speed until they form stiff peaks. Add to the creamy mixture and stir slowly until it becomes homogenous.

Optionally, add a handful of seasonal fruit. I used dried goji berries, dried cranberries and raisins. The frozen strawberries created a good effect for the images, but they took a while to defrost.

Preheat a pan and add a few drops of rapeseed oil or coconut oil.

If you have a shaped gadget or a heart-shaped pan, use it. If not, place one spoonful of the mixture into the heated pan. Cook for two minutes, then flip over and cook for another two minutes or until ready.

When cooked, transfer the first oatmeal pancake on a plate and repeat the process until you use the entire mixture. 

Enjoy!
