Easy and ideal oatmeal pancakes for weight loss

To make oatmeal pancakes you have to beat 4 egg whites with 5 tablespoons of oatmeal. Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet and add a ladle of the batter. Let it cook for about 2 minutes and turn it over. Repeat 3 more times. Here we explain the recipe in more detail and we propose some variations.

How to make oatmeal pancakes to lose weight

· Ingredients: For the basic oatmeal pancake recipe, you need 5 tablespoons of oatmeal, 4 egg whites and olive oil.

· Step by step: The first thing you have to do is beat the egg whites together with the oats. Once whipped, grease a small non-stick frying pan with a few drops of oil and heat it over the heat. Pour a quarter of the previous mixture into the pan. Let it set for about 2 minutes. Turn it over, being careful not to break it, and finish doing it on the other side until it is golden brown. Remove it, reserve it on a plate and repeat the operation with the rest of the dough until three more pancakes are set.

· Accompaniment: With some fruits of the forest they are delicious.

Banana oat pancakes

·Other versions. One option that has become very popular among people who play sports or want to eat a healthy and balanced diet are oatmeal and banana pancakes.

· Ingredients: 1 banana, 1 egg, 1 egg white, 3-4 tablespoons of oats. And there are those who add a teaspoon of yeast, a little honey and lemon zest to taste (depending on whether you want sweet or more neutral to make salty versions, for example).

· Step by step: Mix the oatmeal with the egg and the white, the chopped banana (the yeast, the honey and the lemon peel also if you use them) and blend everything with the electric mixer. Heat a pan greased with oil and pour a ladle of the mixture, lower the heat, cover the pan and wait 2 minutes, until the bottom is golden. Flip it over and continue cooking until done on the other side.

· Accompaniment: In this case we have added banana cut between pancake and pancake, caramelized brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon.

Pancakes with cheese and tomato

· Salty options. Oat pancakes are also very tasty with savory sides, as in this case. You just have to spread them with a fresh cheese spread, place a raw tomato mince on top, and dress it with a little olive oil and spices or aromatic herbs to taste. A vegetarian recipe that fits both as a breakfast as a snack or even as an original starter.

Pancakes with raspberries and nuts

· Presentation matters too. One way to bring them to the table is in the shape of a tower, as we have done with these oatmeal pancakes with raspberries, pipes and almonds. Between pancake and pancake, we have put a little honey and royal jelly, and on top of it raspberries, peeled sunflower seeds and sliced almonds.

Pancakes with hummus and salmon

· Different combinations. A very nutritious idea to start the day with a lot of energy is to spread the pancakes with hummus and add smoked salmon on top. If you don't want them to be so caloric, you can use our super light chickpea hummus.

Pancakes with cheese and jam

· Temptation for the little ones. You can also make them in a mini version, cover them with spread cheese or yogurt and complete them with jam to attract the attention of the little ones at home (and those who are not).

Pancakes with asparagus and poached egg

· A delicious unique dish. Another possibility is to use them as part of a single dish combining them with vegetables, asparagus in this case, and a little more protein, here a poached egg but a piece of chicken or turkey breast would also have fit perfectly, for example.

Pancakes with fruits and chocolate

· Lighter options. So that they are not so heavy, you can combine them with seasonal fruits and melted dark chocolate.

Pancakes with walnuts and syrup

· Minimal version. If you want a super simple version, you just have to add honey or agave syrup, for example, and some nuts on top and that's it: ready to taste.
