How do you make oatmeal pancakes from scratch?

To make soft, fluffy pancakes that even your toddler can eat, reduce rolled oats flakes into flour by blending in your blender at high-speed.
To add beets, peel them and dice, then blend with a cup of milk.
Mix both the oats flour and the beets-milk blend.
Let the mix stand for about 5 minutes before you start cooking.

Tips for making these oatmeal pancakes with beets

Use raw beets. Note that some beets can be bitter than others which can alter the taste in some cases.
Use large rolled oats. I've found that small oats are rough in texture, giving you a different result than large oats.
I've made this recipe more than ten times, and most of the time the hue of the red color varies. Sometimes it's deep red while others it's lighter.
Use a non-stick pan to avoid having to add oil.

Are Oatmeal Pancakes Good for you?

Oats are high in fiber and proteins, making them a better choice than white wheat flour.
If you are not cooking with transfats (like margarine), then your oatmeal pancakes are healthy.
In case you are using butter, make sure it's from grass-fed cows.
Another problematic issue is sugar. Use a natural syrup or whole non-processed brown sugar. If you can afford it, coconut sugar is low in Glycemic Index.

How to store your leftover pancakes

This pancake recipe will give you about 7 pancakes. But that will depend on what you are using to scoop the batter.
If you have some leftovers, wrap them in a kitchen cloth, put them in a freezer bag, zip them, and keep them in your fridge.
Eat these leftovers within 4-5 days.
When it's time to eat these leftover pancakes, remove them from your fridge and warm them a bit in your oven heated at 50°C. Or heat them on a pan, keep an eye not to burn them.

I hope you'll love this simple oatmeal pancake recipe with beets, and more so that your kids will adore them.
