- Sugar – 1 tbsp. l.

Recipes
There are a great many recipes for making pancakes from oatmeal. Oatmeal pancakes are baked with milk, water and kefir, banana puree is added to the pancake dough, and even such a seemingly irreplaceable ingredient as eggs is excluded. Pancakes can be made sweet or savory, with fillings to suit every taste.
Classic recipe
In the classic version, pancake dough is made as usual, only oatmeal is used instead of wheat flour. In this case, the pancakes turn out more loose. Pancakes are prepared from oatmeal with milk of medium fat content - from 2.5 to 3.2%.
Ingredients:
- milk (1 glass);
- sugar (1 tablespoon);
- oatmeal (1 cup);
- chicken egg (1 piece);
- salt (pinch);
- baking powder;
- sunflower oil (2 tablespoons).
In a deep bowl, thoroughly beat the egg with sugar and a pinch of salt until a homogeneous structure is obtained and foam appears. You can beat with a mixer, whisk or fork. The foam should not be too thick: to make the pancakes fluffy, this dough uses baking powder.
Sift the flour through a fine sieve to saturate it with oxygen and stir in portions into the egg-sugar mixture. Stir until lumps dissolve. Add baking powder following the recipe on the package. Instead of ready-made baking powder, you can use a vinegar-soda mixture: in this case, add a few drops of vinegar to the soda on the tip of a knife and mix the resulting foam into the dough.
Lastly, add a glass of milk and two tablespoons of sunflower oil to the dough, then mix thoroughly. The dough is ready! You can put it on a hot non-stick frying pan. Due to the fact that the dough contains oil, there is no need to moisten the surface of the pan with it, except just a little, at the very beginning of baking.
By the way, if you don’t want to dirty a lot of dishes while preparing the dough, you can mix all the ingredients in a bottle, and then pour the dough directly from it into the frying pan. And if you make a small hole in the lid, you can create real masterpieces from pancake dough.
Diet recipe
Diet pancakes made from oatmeal without flour are prepared from products with reduced calorie content. So, instead of milk with a fat content of 2.5% in a classic recipe, you can use a product with a fat content of 1.5% or even skim milk. This recipe uses oatmeal instead of flour, and a sweetener or fructose instead of sugar.
Ingredients:
- oat flakes (1 cup);
- milk with fat content 0−1.5% (2 cups);
- water (2 glasses);
- chicken egg (1 piece);
- sweetener (1 teaspoon);
- salt (pinch).
The first step is to prepare the base for the dough - liquid oatmeal: mix milk and cold water in a saucepan, add cereal. Beat the cooled porridge with a blender or mix thoroughly with a fork to get rid of lumps. Add the egg, sweetener and a pinch of salt, mix. Bake in a greased frying pan .
Pancakes with kefir
This recipe uses kefir instead of milk, which will result in a sour taste to the finished product. These pancakes are good with cottage cheese, as well as ham and cheese. However, sweet fillings (for example, strawberry jam) would also be appropriate here. You can take kefir of any fat content.
Ingredients:
- oat flakes (1 cup);
- kefir (1 glass);
- chicken egg (2 pieces);
- sunflower oil (1 tablespoon);
- sugar (1 tablespoon);
- salt;
- soda.
Soak the flakes in kefir for 30 minutes. Add beaten eggs , oil and dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until smooth. Bake in a hot frying pan, lightly greased with vegetable oil.
Pancakes without eggs
This recipe is suitable for those who, for whatever reason, cannot eat eggs. The dough contains two types of oil - vegetable and butter.
Ingredients:
- oat flour (2 cups);
- sugar (3 tablespoons);
- milk 2.5% (1 liter);
- vegetable oil (2 tablespoons);
- butter (one third of a briquette);
- salt (pinch);
- soda (on the tip of a knife).
Mix dry ingredients in a deep bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Heat half the milk on the stove, without bringing to a boil, and stir into the dry mixture. Beat the dough with a whisk or fork until the lumps disappear. The result should be a mass similar in consistency to thick sour cream. Add vegetable oil to it. Bring the other half of the milk to a boil and add it to the dough, stirring constantly. Pour in the butter melted in the microwave. Bake pancakes in a dry hot frying pan. Serve with savory or sweet toppings. The results are very tasty , but slightly oily oat pancakes.
Cooking instructions
Place oatmeal in blender.
Grind them to fine grains.
Place sugar and eggs in a bowl. Whisk.
In a separate bowl, mix ground oatmeal with milk and salt.
Leave them to swell for 40 minutes. During this time, they will absorb the bulk of the milk, and the mass will become like liquid porridge.
Add beaten eggs.
Stir. Add flour, citric acid and soda.
Mix again to form a thick dough.
Brew it with boiling water.
Add the oil and mix well with a whisk.
The dough will not be completely homogeneous, but it should be so.
Grease a frying pan with oil (or use a paper towel) and heat it over medium heat. Pour a portion of batter into the middle. Quickly, changing the position of the pan with a circular motion of your hand, form a circle from the dough. After some time, the surface of the pancake will be covered with large holes.
When all the dough has set and the bottom side is browned, use a wide spatula to turn the pancake over.
Bring it to readiness, then tip it onto a flat dish. Stack oat pancakes.
The pancakes are thick, but very soft and doughy. When folded, they tear at the folds, so they are not stuffed. You can serve them with any sweet sauce, condensed milk, honey or sour cream.

Tips and tricks

- In addition to Hercules, you can also add wheat flour to the dough. It should be about half as much as oatmeal.
- If you boil the dough with boiling water, then the pancakes from it will not stick to the pan and will turn over easily.
- The pancakes should be small (no more than 15 cm in diameter), otherwise they will tear in the middle when turned over.
- Pancake dough made from oatmeal should be thicker than from wheat flour.
- The classic method of kneading dough involves beating the whites separately with half the amount of sugar, grinding the yolks with the second half of the required sugar.
- When following a diet, it is better to replace milk with kefir or prepare oatmeal with water, and then knead the dough based on it.
Pancakes, even if made from oatmeal, are still quite a high-calorie dish, so they should be served in the first half of the day, ideally for breakfast or lunch.
You can serve fish, cottage cheese, boiled turkey or chicken with unsweetened oat pancakes. It is very good to serve pancakes with savory sauces. The simplest one, for example, consists of sour cream and herbs, washed and finely chopped parsley, and dill.
Among sweet fillings, fruits and berries pureed with sugar or honey are ideal. Good yoghurts, condensed milk, sweet sauces with different flavors.
