Oatmeal Pancakes with Chocolate Chips
Description
This recipe starts by pulsing oats with whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt to create a fine oat-flour mix. Egg whites, milk, and vegetable oil are added to form a batter that rests briefly before cooking on a hot griddle. Miniature chocolate chips stirred in add a touch of sweetness in pockets throughout.
The pancakes cook until bubbles form and edges brown, then flip to cook the other side, yielding a tender interior and lightly crisp edges. The oat base provides a chewy texture, complemented by the melting chocolate chips.
Serve the pancakes warm with syrup or fresh fruit for breakfast. Adjust the flour quantity slightly for thinner or thicker pancakes, and increase chocolate chips for added sweetness according to preference.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 egg lightly beaten, white
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine the oats, flour, baking powder and salt. Pulse until the oats are finely ground.
- Pour the oat mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Combine the egg whites, milk and vegetable oil. Stir this mixture into the oat mixture.
- Stir just until combined. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat a griddle over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Gently stir the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the pancake starts to bubble and until it browns on the edges. Flip the pancake and cook on the second side.
- Continue to cook until all of the pancakes have been made.
Notes
- Reduce whole wheat flour to 1/2 cup for thinner pancakes.
- Add up to 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
