2. Cook the Pancake

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.

  • Add a drizzle of olive oil and spread it around the pan.

  • Pour in enough batter to cover the base thinly.

  • Let it cook for 1–2 minutes, until the top looks dry and the bottom is set.

  • Flip and cook for another minute on the other side.

Repeat with remaining batter. This recipe yields about 2 to 3 pancakes, depending on size and thickness.


Filling & Serving (Optional but Delicious!)

Use the same pan for a quick, protein-packed filling:

1. Make the Filling

  • Add another touch of olive oil over low heat.

  • Add tomato slices, then pour in the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt.

  • Let the eggs set slightly, then add shredded cooked chicken on top.

2. Assemble & Toast

  • Place a cooked oatmeal pancake on top of the egg and chicken.

  • Let it warm through for 1–2 minutes.

  • Flip gently to toast the other side.

Slice, serve, and enjoy immediately!

Yes! Skip the salt and add a bit of cinnamon, vanilla, or honey to the batter. Fill with peanut butter and banana, or yogurt and berries.

Is oat flour gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use certified gluten-free oats or oat flour.

Can I use cooked oats instead of oat flour?
No, this recipe needs flour-like texture for a pancake structure. You can grind oats in a blender to make oat flour.

Can I add spices?
Absolutely. Garlic powder, turmeric, chili flakes, or Italian herbs all work beautifully depending on your filling.
