What we love about oatmeal
Oatmeal is a whole grain, which means it contains all the nutrients of the grain kernel—the germ, endosperm, and bran. This makes it a nutrient-dense food, and they are a filling option that will help you to avoid mid-morning snacking.
The best part about oatmeal pancakes and why you should choose them over regular pancakes is that they are lower in sugar. Unlike many other breakfast options, oatmeal pancakes are made without adding any extra sugar.
Another important benefit of oatmeal pancakes is that they are relatively easy to make. You can either make them from scratch or buy a mix from the store. If you make them from scratch, all you need is some kitchen and pantry staples like rolled oats, milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, flour, and fruit for topping.
There are many ways to change up the flavors of your pancakes. We added bananas, but you can add apples, strawberries, or blueberries; the options are endless. You can even add nuts or dried fruit.
How Long Will the Cooked Oatmeal Pancakes Last?
Cooked oatmeal pancakes will last for about two to three days in the fridge. To extend their shelf life, you can freeze them for up to three months. When it comes to reheating, simply pop them in the toaster, air fryer, oven or microwave.
Oatmeal pancakes are a healthy and delicious breakfast option. They’re packed with fiber and protein, and they’re also low in sugar, so let’s make some, shall we?!
