Tweet

If you are looking for an easy, healthy pancake recipe, this is the one. This healthy oatmeal pancake recipe is so easy to make, yet very delicious. Next to that, it also happens to be dairy-free and gluten-free. I have tried many easy, healthy pancake recipes. While they are healthy, they don’t have much flavor and you can tell they’re not really pancakes. However, when I made this, I was surprised by how flavorful it was. Keep reading to know how to make it and see the full nutritional value! I will also give you some tips on what toppings to use.

How to make oatmeal pancakes

With just a few simple ingredients, this oatmeal pancake recipe will be done in no time (you will also finish it in no time) ! Put the ingredients in the blender and bake the mixture afterwards in a skillet for a few minutes, until the pancake is starting to look brown. You will need half a cup of oatmeal, half a cup of plantmilk, an egg, maple syrup and cinnamon for taste. I prefer using almond milk, but you can use any other plant milk like oatmilk. Heat a little bit of coconutoil or butter in the skillet before pouring the mixture, to make sure it doesn’t stick. These ingredients will make 2 or 3 pancakes.

What toppings to use

Top them off with your favorite toppings. You can get creative with this. For this recipe I have used melted almond- and peanut butter, melted dark chocolate with 85% cacao, cacao nibs and goji berries. The last two toppings are so-called ‘superfoods‘. I don’t like using that term, but they definitely do have impressive health benefits. The dark chocolate I use has a high percentage of cacao, which is a healthier variant, since it contains far less sugar. Other amazing recipes where I used similar toppings are this healthy, vegan banana split recipe and this easy blueberry smoothie recipe!

Many people believe chocolate is unhealthy food that belongs to cheat meals. While this is true for many well known chocolate bars, it is the opposite for dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is full of nutrients and is a great source of anti-oxidants. It is high in minerals like iron, magnesium, manganese and copper. This does not mean we should eat a whole dark chocolate bar. That would still be a lot of calories. However, in moderation, it is beneficial for our health. Cacao nibs have the same benefits as dark chocolate, but without any other additions. It is raw, pure and has a real chocolate taste.
