Oatmeal Pancakes with strawberries & honey(Eggless).

Another healthy breakfast option recipe..;) often we think of how good, bad or ugly something might taste and are scared to try it or just brush even the thought aside saying oh...it's something that's not common in our culture so why try un necessarily..!!

We are all familiar with both the terms Oatmeal & Pancakes...so i decided to try Oatmeal pancakes...a healthier option to the regular pancakes which are rich and quite heavy on the stomach.

Having a very liberal hubby on such issues the poor man was my first guinea pig too for this one, and my experiment did quite well... and now my hubby needs pancakes as breakfast atleast 1 - 2times in a week...sometimes even packed for work....quite encouraging that was...;)

The good thing is that it takes just a jiffy to get one pancake off the stove...! The best part being you can make both healthy and heavy in the tummy versions very easily...with not very difficult variations...!!

Ingredients:
  1. Oatmeal(quick cooking variety): 1 & 1/2 cup.
  2. Whole wheat flour: 1 Cup( or All Purpose flour i.e. maida for a heavy version).
  3. Yoghurt/ Buttermilk: 1 & 1/2 cups ( well beaten).
  4. Sugar: 1 tsp.
  5. Salt: 1 pinch.
  6. Baking powder: 1 & 1/2 tsp.
  7. Strawberries - 2 - 3 nos.
  8. Vegetable Oil( or Butter) - 2 Tbsp.
  9. Vanilla Essence: 1tsp.
  10. Honey: use as required for dip.
Method:
  • Roast the oatmeal for a few mins in the microwave or in a dry roast pan until you get the nice aroma of roasted oats, coarse grind the oats.
  • Mix all dry ingredients well together.
  • Mix Yoghurt/Buttermilk & vanilla essence together.
  • Now slowly mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients together without forming lumps...if you feel it's convenient dump all the ingredients together in the blender and blend the batter for about a minute, check the consistency(it should not be very thin) keep the consistency same as for a normal dosa.
  • This mixture can be stored in an airtight container for upto 4-5 days in the regrigerator.
  • To make pancakes, just bour the batter on to a greased (with butter or olive oil) tawa or a flatbed pan on medium heat until one side is cooked turn the pancake  to the other side allow the second side to cook as well.
  • Serve with honey and strawberries(taste's yum).
Preperation time: 8 -10mins.
Serve size: Makes 7-8 pancakes (size could vary as per individual's choice).

Enjoy your Oatmeal pancakes, you could just add 2 eggs to the same recipe if you feel you'd like it better with egg..;)

+Green PeasPulao / Matar Pulao(One Pot Meal...;)

Matar/Green Peas Pulao(One Pot Meal): Weekend's somehow make me feel weak in the knees to eat rice...i feel really bored to have roti's & dosas the whole week through..!! My versatile pallets and the stomach who's used to eat variety from mom screams out and demands more variety on the weekends. However though a weekday today i broke the usual rules and cooked up my favorite "Matar Pulao" which doesn't take much time as well as it's not too much  of a labor, since it all goes in one pot and pressure cook cool and serve, so i don't need to even wash too many dishes, so last night's dinner was Green Peas Pulao, Karnataka style with a slight variation for the sake of good health..;P What goes Inside: 1Cup: Basmati Rice(i used Basmati, since this is what i can acquire here easily ) or normal cooking rice of your choice. Spices: As per your taste you may add or delete the same(Cinnamon sticks+Green Cardamom+C...

Basic Eggless WWF Loaf Cake..;)

Basic Eggless WWF Sponge Loaf Cake..;) A Confession : Though I've been baking for quite sometime now,i must confess a basic sponge cake was more a matter of luck in my "cake"...Oops...sorry "case"..!!  I would go on and on like mom always very rightly said "Try try never say die... " i kept trying until i continued to succeed(psst: just to ensure i'm doing it perfectly right)..!!  Finally I've succeeded & so proud to shout it out loud to the world...i managed to bake the most "Mmmm..moist Eggless WWF Sponge Cake"...). It's been such a hit at my place that I've already baked it thrice in 3days in a row (I swear i'm just not exaggerating one bite..sorry bit..;) and also tried my new experiment "Basic Eggless WWF-Oatmeal & Chocolate Loaf Cake"...Well that recipe will follow soon though..!! Baking a cake always takes me through the nostalgia of school days where we learnt the famous nursery rhyme " ...

Eggless Choco Crumbly Cookies*Tried & Tested*

A few days back i happened to post my *Tried & Tested* version of  20 min Choco Almond - Cashew Secret Center Crumbly Cookies and a very old school friend popped me a question on how about an egg-less version and  and i decided to give that a try well with slight variations of my own..;).This is an exceptionally easy one for baking beginners.These are Classic Shortbread sort of Cookies which absolutely melt in your mouth...but technically these are cookies which use Cornflour along with normal All purpose Flour while baking these.The Cocoa in it adds a much needed twist to their melt in the mouth texture apart from the fact that these are Egg less.I used a bit of yoghurt and maple syrup while experimenting with flavours and while adding to it's health value i don't think it did much harm to the cookie's texture too...;) This one's gotta be a keeper ladies..;) So Reena, here's what i got for you especially: Eggless Chocolate Crumbly Cookies*Tried & Tested*...
