How to cook: oatmeal pancake recipes
To prepare oatmeal pancakes, as already mentioned, you need very little time and ingredients. The only caveat is that it is recommended to pre-grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder, this way they will bond better with the other ingredients.
People with individual lactose intolerance can replace cow's milk with any plant milk - coconut, almond, oatmeal. The benefits and taste characteristics will not change in any way, the only thing is that you need to independently recalculate the calorie content of the finished product, taking into account the type of milk.
Classic with milk and egg
To prepare oatmeal pancake according to the classic recipe you will need:
- 40 grams of oatmeal - 4 tablespoons;
- 60 milliliters of milk - 3 tablespoons;
- one small egg.
The ingredients are intended for one serving, their quantity can be increased proportionally to prepare several pancakes at a time.
All of the listed components must be thoroughly mixed, salt or natural sweetener must be added to taste. Place the resulting mixture on a preheated non-stick frying pan - this will allow you to bake without using oil. The pancake must be fried on each side for 3-5 minutes until cooked.
With banana
To prepare this oatmeal pancake, you will need the same ingredients and one small banana weighing approximately 100-130 grams. There are two ways to cook pancakes:
- Grind the banana with a fork to a puree consistency or grind in a blender and add to the dough.
- Spread the pancake with cottage cheese or a thin layer of peanut butter and place a sliced banana on top.
The calorie content in this case will change slightly:
Product | Weight | Squirrels | Fats | Carbohydrates | Kilocalories |
Oat flakes | 40 grams | 4,76 | 2,88 | 27,72 | 146,60 |
Egg raw | 55 grams | 6,99 | 6,00 | 0,39 | 86,35 |

Total per 100 grams: | 5,78 | 4,25 | 20,74 | 141,75 |
Calorie content does not take into account the filling, which must also be entered into the calorie counting diary.
With cottage cheese
Cottage cheese goes very well with oatmeal, improves the taste of oatmeal, while supplying the body with calcium and phosphorus, which are beneficial for the body. It is especially useful to include such a dish in the diet of children and adolescents to prevent diseases of bones, nails, and teeth. The calorie content in this case is as follows:
Product | Weight | Squirrels | Fats | Carbohydrates | Kilocalories |
Oat flakes | 40 grams | 4,76 | 2,88 | 27,72 | 146,60 |
Egg raw | 55 grams | 6,99 | 6,00 | 0,39 | 86,35 |
Milk | 60 grams | 1,92 | 2,16 | 2,88 | 38,40 |
Cottage cheese 5% | 100g | 17,20 | 5,00 | 1,80 | 121,00 |
Total: | 255 grams | 30,87 | 16,04 | 32,78 | 392,15 |
Total per 100 grams: | 12,10 | 6,29 | 12,86 | 153,78 |
Cottage cheese can be added to the dough or spread on a pancake. To improve the taste, you can add a sugar substitute, honey, fruits or dried fruits, not forgetting to calculate the calorie content of the finished product with such ingredients.

- suluguni (calories - 290, proteins - 18.5 g, fats - 23 g, carbohydrates - 3 g);

According to Dukan
Among those losing weight, the Dukan diet is quite widespread, based on preferably protein foods, and most cereals are strictly prohibited. Especially for this type of food, a special recipe for oatmeal was invented, the main ingredients of which are:
- 40 ml vegetable oil;
- 8 chicken eggs;
- 300 grams of oat bran;
- 300 ml 1% kefir.
These pancakes are baked like regular ones, and the ingredients are enough for a whole stack. The nutritional content per 100 grams is as follows: Kilocalories - 194, proteins - 11 g, fats - 11 g, carbohydrates - 13 g.
No eggs
Some people do not eat eggs due to individual intolerance or any health problems, in which case a recipe for oatmeal pancakes without eggs will be useful, which will include only oatmeal and milk, and the calorie content will change:
Product | Weight | Squirrels | Fats | Carbohydrates | Kilocalories |
Oat flakes | 40 grams | 4,76 | 2,88 | 27,72 | 146,60 |
Milk | 60 grams | 1,92 | 2,16 | 2,88 | 38,40 |
Total: | 100g | 6,68 | 5,04 | 30,6 | 185,00 |
It is recommended to add a pinch of salt and soda to the dough, so the pancakes will rise and become fluffy and delicate.
Sweet
In order to make sweet oatmeal pancakes, you can add a sugar substitute or honey, dried fruits to the dough, or make an interesting filling, for example:
- yogurt and fruit;
- cottage cheese and fruits or dried fruits;
- dried fruits, chopped with nuts and honey;
- low calorie jam.
It is recommended to grind the ingredients to a paste and brush the surface of the oatmeal pancake with it. This option is not only tasty, but also allows you to preserve nutrients as much as possible due to the lack of heat treatment.
With apple
Lovers of sweet oat pancakes can constantly experiment with the filling, so they won’t get bored and can be firmly established in their daily diet.
One option is to add finely grated apples or apple jam to the dough. Another is to spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the surface of the pancake and place small apple slices on it. If desired, they can be sprinkled with spices, such as freshly ground cinnamon.
With tomatoes
Tomato goes well with the curd base. Its slices can be placed on low-calorie cheese or curd paste, for the preparation of which you will need:
- fat 5% cottage cheese - 100 g;
- a pinch of salt;
- a large bunch of greens: dill, parsley, green onions;
- spices to taste (Provencal herbs and suneli hops go well with this paste).
All ingredients must be blended in a blender until smooth, you will get a beautiful, aromatic mass that tastes like regular cottage cheese. She needs to grease the pancake and place thin slices of tomato on top.
With bran
Oatmeal in this recipe can be replaced with rye flour or bran, so the recipe will be most beneficial for the intestines, since the content of plant fibers and fiber will significantly increase.
To ensure that the pancake does not lose its taste, it is recommended to replace half of the flakes with bran or simply add one or two tablespoons.
On kefir
You can reduce the calorie content of oatmeal by replacing cow's milk with low-calorie 1% kefir, the recipe in this case will be as follows:
- oatmeal - 3 tbsp;
- kefir - 1-1.5 tbsp;
- a pinch of baking soda or baking powder;
- egg;
- salt to taste.
These pancakes are more tender, taste like pancakes, and the calorie content per 100 grams is only 139 kcal.
Vegan recipe
Vegans eat only plant-based foods, so two of the three ingredients will have to be replaced:
- milk for water or a small amount of vegetable oil;
- eggs per tablespoon of water and any flour: wheat, buckwheat or flaxseed.
In this case, the pancakes are denser, but the taste differs little from the classic ones.
Ingredients:
- egg – 1 pc.
- kefir 0-1% - 1/3 cup
- sweetener – 1 measuring spoon (fitparad)
- salt - to taste
- ground oat bran – 2 tbsp. spoons

- water - a little to get the desired consistency
You can purchase all the products you need for pancakes in the DD 39 online store.
Tips for making oatmeal pancakes
To make the pancakes beautiful, you must strictly adhere to the amount of ingredients: a lack of eggs or milk can cause them to fall apart. And, on the contrary, if there is an excess amount of them, the oatmeal pancake will be baked on the outside, but will remain raw on the inside.
It is also better to purchase a good non-stick frying pan, to which the pancakes will not stick without oil.
Whatever recipe you choose, the main thing when losing weight is moderation. Just because a product is dietary does not mean you need to eat it in huge quantities.
Expert opinion
The topic of baking, no matter how strange it may seem to some, is directly related to healthy eating. People have been baking bread for as long as they can remember (the data here varies, but still a very, very long time ago). That is, the habit of baking something and then eating it is formed and fixed, one might say, at the genetic level. However, no matter what recipe is chosen, the main thing for health is moderation. Even one very fatty pancake definitely won’t harm your figure, but if you systematically eat whole stacks of diet pancakes, which seem to be directly intended for weight loss, I think your body will unpleasantly surprise you...
