This oatmeal pancake recipe requires just a few pantry staples
A drizzle of sticky maple syrup. A melting clarified butter. A handful of sweet chocolate chips. These simple yet powerful ingredients will transform an average homemade pancake recipe into a breakfast you'll actually want to get up for. But what they add in flavor, they lack in good qualities. This is where oats come into play. In this oatmeal pancake recipe, half of the flour used in a traditional batter is replaced with whole-grain oats, boosting nutrients without sacrificing your taste buds. Half a cup of rolled oats contains 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein, while the same amount of enriched, bleached all-purpose wheat flour contains just 1 gram of fiber and 4 grams of protein...

This oatmeal pancake recipe requires just a few pantry staples
A drizzle of sticky maple syrup. A melting clarified butter. A handful of sweet chocolate chips. These simple yet powerful ingredients will transform an average homemade pancake recipe into a breakfast you'll actually want to get up for. But what they add in flavor, they lack in good qualities.
This is where oats come into play. In this oatmeal pancake recipe, half of the flour used in a traditional batter is replaced with whole-grain oats, boosting nutrients without sacrificing your taste buds. Half a cup of rolled oats contains 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein, while the same amount of enriched, bleached all-purpose wheat flour contains only 1 gram of fiber and 4 grams of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Additionally, oats contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that research has found to slow digestion, increase satiety, and suppress appetite. Translation: Your stomach won't be growling for a second breakfast an hour after making this oatmeal pancake recipe. (And the same goes for these protein pancake recipes.)
In addition to the short-term benefits, oats can have positive health effects over time. A meta-analysis of 14 controlled trials and two observational studies in people with type 2 diabetes found that eating oats significantly reduced fasting blood sugar levels and A1C levels, also known as average blood sugar levels, over the past three months. This is a pretty big deal because when a person's A1C levels are high, they are more likely to experience diabetes complications such as nerve damage, heart disease, and stroke. Additionally, the beta-glucan in oats has been found to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and lower blood cholesterol levels. (Related: 15 Incredibly Delicious Foods That Lower Cholesterol)
However, the cherry (or in this case, raspberry) on this oatmeal pancake recipe is that it only calls for shelf-stable ingredients. Thanks to the flaxseeds (which act as a binder) and unrefrigerated, dairy-free milk, the flatbreads can be whipped up even when you're out of eggs or just can't make it to the grocery store to buy a fresh gallon of 2 percent. So fire up the griddle and start making a batch, because TBH, you really have no excuse not to.
