Recipe of the Week: Pancakes From Storage Oats

The following recipe for pancakes from storage rolled oats is from SurvivalBlog reader Paul B.

Paul says:  “This recipe makes 8 or 9 pancakes. You might want to double this recipe if you have a large family, or if you like using leftover pancakes for peanut butter roll-ups, like I do. This uses typical storage rolled oats. Or you can substitute oat flour, if you want a more even texture.”

Ingredients
  • ½ cup of whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1/3 cup non-fat powdered milk
  • 1 cup rolled oats (or substitute oat flour, for a more even texture)
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Directions
  1. In a regular-size mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, honey, and powdered milk. Stir until well blended.
  2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until they are stiff, and then set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg yolks, water, oil, and oats. Beat slightly and allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes. Then beat until blended.
  4. Mix in the dry ingredients
  5. Fold in beaten egg whites. You now have a pancake batter and are ready to pan-fry or griddle the cakes.
  6. Depending on the size of pancakes desired, drop 2+ tablespoons of batter onto the griddle or pan. But if you want bigger pancakes, then pour a ¼ cup-measure of batter onto the griddle or pan.
  7. Cook the pancakes until they are full of bubbles on top and the undersides are lightly browned. Spatula-turn them and then brown the other side.
SERVING

Serve with maple syrup or your choice of fruit, applesauce, pearsauce, or jam topping(s).
