Ana Gourmet: Oat Bran Pancakes

Fluffy, low cal, vegan pancakes made with whole wheat flour and oat bran. My whole family loves them and don't seem to suspect for one minute that they're a diet friendly food item. They have a lovely oaty flavor to them and they're very filling. The only downside is they're not completely fat free, but they are very low in fat. See the nutritional information table for more details. Try these with your favorite sugar free syrup, jam or fresh fruit for a satisfying low cal breakfast. Enjoy.

Ingredients

Makes 18 servings

  • 1 whole wheat flour
  • 1 baking powder
  • 1 1/2 baking soda
  • 1 ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1/8 water
  • 1 vanilla extract
  • 1 liquid stevia

Method

  1. Put a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add all of the wet ingredients and whisk only until all ingredients are wet.

  3. Pour about 4 tablespoons of batter into the frying pan. Wait until bubbles form in the middle of the pancake and flip it over with a spatula. Cook until underside is golden brown and remove from pan. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking to allow the oat bran to hydrate.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for an even, golden-brown finish.
  • If the batter thickens too much while cooking, stir in an extra tablespoon of plant-based milk.

Easy swaps

  • Use any plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, to keep the recipe dairy-free.
  • Replace traditional sweeteners with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan-friendly touch.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure your oat bran is certified gluten-free.
