WHOLESOME FLAX/OATMEAL ‘PANCAKES’


WHOLESOME FLAX/OATMEAL ‘PANCAKES’

These pancakes are really nutritious and low in calories. (Roughly 100/120 calories each)

They keep well in the fridge for a few days and can be toasted to reheat.

They also freeze well.

Best of all they are really fast for a snack on the go and make a handy bread/toast substitute.

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup of rolled oats

2/3 cup of milled flaxseed (can be bought in Aldi) or whole wheat flour

1 cup of Milk

2 tbls of brown sugar (leave out if you like if you’re going to top with syrup etc when cooked)

1 ½ tsp of Baking Powder

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon

2 eggs

2 tsp of Olive Oil

¼ tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)

(My cup is a regular coffee mug)

Play around with the ingredients to include fruit & seeds etc.


DIRECTIONS:


Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. It should be a thick consistency.

Spoon the mix onto a lightly oiled hot frying pan. My square pan makes 4 just nicely. I imagine a regular sized round pan would take three. Spread them a little bit with the back of the spoon, but they will find their own level. Turn down the heat to mid way and cook until you see a few bubbles appear then turn. Give another few minutes on the other side. Job done. Makes 11/12.
