Oatmeal Cinnamon Whole Wheat Pancake

Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Additional time: 5 mins to make that amazing Cold Coffee to go with it!! 😉

Ingredients:

1. Whole Wheat Flour (atta) – 1 cup
2. Rolled Oats (Quaker brand or any other) – 1 cup
3. Sugar – 1 tsp oR  Splenda – 1 tsp
4. Cinnamon Powder – as much as you desire..
5. Milk – 1 cup
6. half a lemon
7. Salt – 3/4 tsp
8. Vanilla extract – just a bit

Method:

• Warm the Milk just a tad bit and add the lemon juice to it. Curdled milk adds a fluffiness and a unique taste to the pancake
• Now take a big bowl, add the whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon power and salt to it
• Make a little well in the middle by pushing the dry ingredients to the sides of the bowl
• Add the curdled milk to this bowl and start mixing
• The consistency is slightly thick. Not too runny and not too stiff
• Add the Vanilla essence to the mix
• Now heat a nonstick pan and add a drop of olive oil to it
• Once heated, take a ladle full of the mix, pour it on the pan and spread it evenly
• The size of the pancake can be what you desire…
• Once tiny bubbles start appearing at the top of the pancake, you will know it is done and flip it over
• The pancake will be ready within a minute of flipping
• On the plate, stack up the pancakes, drizzle generously with honey/maple syrup. Cut up slices of orange and add it to the top
• Voila! You can now dig in!!!

Oatmeal Pancake

Tips:

• Topping: Nutella, chocolate sauce, strawberries, bananas, apples or blueberries – you may add whatever you may desire… one of the many wonders of a truly flexible Pancake!!
• Instead of curdled milk, you can add 1 and 1/2 cup of Buttermilk too.. tastes just as fabulous!

Have fun gorging on that fabulous power breakfast!! 🙂
