Oat Pancakes ~ Fiber, Flavor and Fluff!

Our third recipe featuring amazing oats is one I've used for many years. I had tried many vegan pancake recipes only to be disappointed by the taste or texture. They were usually flat and or gummy instead of light and fluffy ~ the way a pancake should be. We were visiting my husbands cousin and his wife served us these pancakes for breakfast. Wow! I had finally found a delicious vegan pancake recipe.  Not only are these pancakes delicious but they are very nutritious and extremely filling — you won't be eating a full stack of these! Most people feel great after one or two of these yummy pancakes no matter what you top them with.

First, put in a medium mixing bowl:
3 cups of quick oats
4 cups of soy milk
Let soak.

In another bowl put:
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup white whole wheat flour (you can use unbleached white if you want)
2 Tablespoons fructose or Agave (If you use agave add it to the bowl containing the wet ingredients)
1 teaspoon salt

Add wet and dry ingredients together and add:
2 Tablespoons of oil
Mix well into a batter. It will look something like this. If you need it thinner just add a little water to get the right consistency.

Spoon out onto a very hot griddle in the size of pancakes you would like.

When the pancakes rise up and begin to look a little dry around the edge flip them over and cook the other side.

They will rise up nicely. No matter how tempted you are don't pat them down with the flipper — let them be fluffy!


 This recipe will make about 18 -20 pancakes.  Top them with fruit, applesauce, nut butters,  nuts, seeds, pure maple syrup or whatever you like! And enjoy an easy and delicious recipe that will give you energy all morning long.
