Oatmeal pancakes

So I have been toying around with the idea of substituting oatmeal for regular flour for cakes and pudding. Then I realized that I can use oatmeal flour for pancakes as well. Now this is not a new idea or recipe but it isn't one that is widely talked about in the clean eating circles or could it be that I just haven't heard of it? Shrugs*

So I gave it a try, adjusted my recipe after the first attempt and now I make pretty good oatmeal pancakes. Oatmeal is sort of dry, when cooked like this it tends to be a little dryer (for your consideration). So what will you need?

• half a cup of oatmeal
• milk
• one egg (if you want to really eat clean, take out the yoke and use just the whites)
• cinnamon to taste 
• a non-stick pan

I started off by mixing my egg and milk together, half a tea spoon of cinnamon then threw in my oatmeal flour. (I used regular oatmeal, put it in a dry mill and blended till it was fine and smooth like flour). When I was happy with the consistency, I began to cook them in a pan with no oil. You can use a little drizzle of olive oil but I prefer not to. I tend to leave the pancakes to cook a little longer on low heat because I feel oatmeal needs a longer  time to cook properly. When it was done I left to cool and packed them up for breakfast at the office.

The one on the left is a little brown cos the heat was too high but it was good all the same

This morning I had my oatmeal pancakes with honey and jam and a glass of water. I didn't feel like tea or coffee.

You can also add banana, strawberries, mangoes or cheese etc. to this recipe but the idea is to keep it as clean as possible with as few calories as possible. So be as creative as possible with this.

Do you think you will try this?
