I love pancakes. But I don't like that sometimes I get the feeling that I just ate a whole loaf of bread. Do you ever have that? That must be a symptom of getting older. But we can fix that.

One grain that doesn't make me feel sluggish is oats! That's why I based this pancake on oat flour instead of all-purpose flour because it's healthier.

For starters 1/2 cup of oats contains 80 fewer calories and 20 fewer grams of carbs than 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour. They are also high in iron magnesium and fiber and contain the amino acid lysine which helps replenish body tissues like muscles and nerves. This makes them an excellent staple for fitness enthusiasts. Oats can also help lower cholesterol and keep us feeling fuller longer. Truly super power food in the house.

To make oat flour grind oats in a coffee grinder until they are a fine powder. You can also buy it at the grocery store (gluten free optional) or make a big batch at home and keep it in your pantry for quick morning breakfasts like these pancakes.
