Hope you’re all having a great weekend – and I promise it will be made better if you make and enjoy these delicious Healthy Oat Yoghurt Pancakes.
So many people tell me they don’t eat breakfast. It’s beyond my grumbling tummy to understand this. I believe it’s not called the most important meal of the day for no reason. I love breakfast and I feel it’s essential to get a boost of good nutrition to provide energy for the day.
On days when I feel like more than avocado toast, and I have the time to enjoy breakfast in a leisurely manner, I like to make these very easily prepared pancakes. They’re made from everyday ingredients like flour, oats, eggs, yoghurt and milk.
There’s no refined sugar in the recipe, there’s the fruit of your choice and creamy Greek yoghurt.
They are a nutritious, filling breakfast and are easily made in minutes.
For these pancakes I use oats which have not been contaminated by gluten. Research has shown that some people with coeliac disease can tolerate oats. In fact, in the USA, oats are placed on the gluten-free list.
Oats do not actually contain gluten but they are frequently produced in the same place as wheat, rye and barley and the oats may then be contaminated by these other grains. If you are a coeliac or gluten intolerant you will need to use your best judgement as to whether this recipe will be suitable for you, or consult with a medical professional. Some people are intolerant to the protein, avenin, which is found in oats.
To accompany these I require no more than a coffee. (Everything is better with coffee though, in my opinion!) If coffee isn’t your ideal, you might like to try my Peach and Mint Smoothie.
Enjoy these pancakes, and have a fabulous weekend!

Mike
Some yummy mods to version (which also includes Oats and Fruits. One fun thing I learned recently is when you use bananas and put them right on the skillet/pan, they get a nice carmelized crisp, and it is SOOOO yummy as a spread on top of the pancakes once they are done!
Alexandra
Hey Mike! Thanks for stopping by. That banana crisp you’re talking about is just SO good! I love the idea of putting them in the pan and spreading them on. Yum!
