Oats and Blueberry Pancake

My daughter's taste changes ever so often that it is hard to keep up with it! Well I think it happens to all toddlers as they are more interested in what is happening around them than what is on their plate, so as long as it looks good it is good to get their attention. She used to eat oats with fruits when she was 10 months old and since then I have tried everything but there is no way she will eat anything that resembles porridge as it is not chewy enough for her and she cant eat it with her bare hands. So I thought won't oat pancakes be a great as she can hold them and eat them by herself. I searched for a great recipe but unfortunately there are none that I could find so this is my own recipe and it did taste good. It's not quite doughy as a standard pancake, more like a quiche sort of texture.


Ingredients:
1 cup instant quick Oats (microwave ready in 90 seconds)
1 1/2 cup milk (full cream for kids)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon sugar
a pinch of baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
few drops of vanilla extract
handful of blueberries (chopped if you like)
butter to grease pan
honey for drizzle
cream/ice cream to serve

Recipe: Cook oats and milk together in microwave for 90 seconds. If you don't have the instant oats just cook regular oats in microwave for longer time. Once the oats have completely cooled down crack the egg in the same bowl and whisk. Add baking soda, baking powder, vanilla essence, sugar and blueberries and mix well. If the mixture looks too thick add some more milk. Grease a pan with butter as the pancakes get quite sticky with oats. flip them over like regular pancakes. Serve warm with honey drizzled on them and some cream on the side. A glass of apple/fruit juice would go perfectly for brekky!





I am sure there can be more delicious variations of this pancake and would love to see you my reader make some of your own! How about  trying oats, banana and walnut pancake?
