Unsweetened Oat and Greek Yogurt Pancakes

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup oats (Preferably rolled oats; they may be blended to obtain a finer texture.)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt (No added sugar.)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• vanilla extract (To taste; approximately 1 tsp is estimated.)
• salt (A pinch.)
• 1 tsp baking soda

Steps

1. 1

   Place the oats, eggs, unsweetened Greek yogurt, baking powder, vanilla, pinch of salt, and baking soda in a bowl. Mix until you obtain a uniform batter, without large lumps of yogurt.

2. 2

   Let the mixture rest for a few minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture and the batter can thicken slightly. If it becomes too thick, stir well before cooking.

3. 3

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. If necessary, lightly grease it; the oil or cooking fat is not specified in the source.

4. 4

   Pour portions of batter into the skillet, forming medium-sized pancakes. Cook until the surface shows bubbles and the edges look set, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Flip each pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes, until golden and completely set in the center.

6. 6

   Serve hot. Avoid adding sugar, honey, or sugary syrups if you want to keep the preparation free of added sugar.

Notes

The source does not indicate a temperature, cooking method, or amount of vanilla; these details have been completed using a standard technique. The fact that a recipe contains no added sugar does not by itself guarantee that it will not raise blood glucose: people with diabetes should assess the portion and their individual response with their healthcare team. The batter can be prepared in a blender if a smoother texture is desired.
