What I really liked about these pancakes was the spices- pure natural vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger mixed with fresh grated apple. Can you imagine!. My husband ( who does not need to lose weight) loved them too. Of course he put some nut butter and banana topping on his.
My Secret Recipe Club blog assignment for May is Successful2gether , and that is where I found the recipe..You can imagine how overjoyed I was when I saw wonderful Weight Watcher recipes with the Points Plus Values throughout her blog.I participate in the Secret Recipe Club monthly, and every month I mention how much fun it is for me and my readers to be introduced to a new blog.
I literally found 8 breakfast recipes using oatmeal which were naturally gluten free ( if you buy GF oats) . I found recipes for a different flavors of Weight Watcher pancakes, an oatmeal bread, and baked oatmeal.
I was so excited I couldn't decide which recipe to try; I tried her apple cinnamon oatmeal pancakes this time, but I will be back to the other recipes as well. I can't even begin to tell how good the pancakes were and how much variety they added to my Weight Watcher breakfasts! What a great idea!
They could also make a great lunch or snack. If you are looking for breakfast recipes, it's worth browsing through Successful2gether for some interesting ideas.
Listen, It's a wonderful pancake whether you are watching your weight or not because this naturally gluten free oatmeal pancake will delight the entire family. It also could be a good way to get kids to eat oatmeal. Oats are said to bring down cholesterol and add needed fiber to the diet.
So, if you like pancakes, enjoy.
I topped my pancakes with mashed banana ( fabulous); I topped my husband's pancakes with my banana peanut butter topping ( amazing). He is not watching his weight! We were both very happy.
The recipe called for a packet of sweetener , which I omitted, but I think it was great without it.
Recipe for one; (can be doubled)
Ingredients:
1/3 cup of quick oats ( I used gluten free oats)
1 egg ( I use eggland's Best which has 25% less saturated fat)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla
pinch of ground ginger ( optional) ( I used fresh grated ginger because I love it)
1/2 apple, grated
Directions:
Beat egg, add oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and grated apple. Mix well and drop pancakes onto a warmed oil sprayed skillet. Turn over when browned and then brown the other side. It can be made into 3-4 small pancakes or one big pancake.

I used the exact same recipe, but I wanted to try making the oats into a flour-like consistancy, so I the oats in a spice grinder I included this version because my husband liked it this way too.

Appreciation for great content. I’m certainly glad I had taken the time to learn this.
ReplyDeleteI like that you tried it both ways--with the whole oats and the "oat flour" Thanks for sharing how both turned out.
ReplyDeleteI love that these are gluten free, my mom and sister will love this. Apple and cinnamon is one of my favourite flavor combinations.
ReplyDeleteI really like the grated ginger in it too.
DeleteOh, those pancakes must smell so amazing with all the apple and spices in them ... :)
ReplyDeleteMary,
DeleteThe smell was amazing with the vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger with the apples. It smelled like apple pie
Judee i loved making your breakfast cookies! I am not sick of them and have made about 4 batches. So glad i found your blog. I am going to make these oatmeal cakes. Yum!
ReplyDeleteFantastic recipe, I love these are as they are such a healthy ones with whole oats.., must have tasted yum.., lovely clicks
ReplyDeleteI love how you ground the oats :) I am so glad you enjoyed visiting my blog and found a recipe you love ;) you are welcome back anytime!
ReplyDeleteI ground the oats and it came out smoother. You site is awesome and I love all the WW recipes. I've got a list of breakfast ideas to try.
DeleteWow, there's a lot of pancakes in our SRC group this month! Something must be in the air! These look AMAZING and will be gracing my table soon!
ReplyDeletebe sure to check out seasonalpotluck.com May is avocado and asparagus month! http://bit.ly/JZGxpz We'd love if you'd link up any recipes you may have!
Betsy,
DeleteThanks for letting me know about the avocado and asparagus potluck. I'll be over to check it out.
Those look very tasty, Judee. Nice. Meredith will probably give the oats a try. She frequently adds bran as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to admit that the pancakes I made Meredith for Mother's Day were from a package. My goal was to make pretty shapes with a squeeze bottle, and pancakes aren't my thing to begin with (they're Meredith's speciality).
Dan,
DeleteWhat a great idea to use a squeeze bottle for the batter to make shapes. I've gotta try that!
I am a big ginger fan. I'll bet these smell amazing while they're cooking. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteA great combination for your awesome pancakes!
ReplyDeleteCooking with you in the SRC-B
Miz Helen

ReplyDeleteYum! Thanks for sharing at Breakfast Ideas Mondays!
ReplyDeleteNow this is how to make pancakes. The cinnamon, ginger, and apples sound like a great way to start the day. Or end it--we often have pancakes for supper lately.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing these!
Oh wow! I now have this weekend's breakfast planned ☺ They look tantalizing as I'm sitting here with my first cup of coffee, imagining how wonderful they taste. Thanks for sharing!
