Ingredients

  • 4 cups of tangy buttermilk
  • 2 ½ cups of hearty old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups of versatile all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups of wholesome whole wheat flour
  • 1 ⅓ cups of rich brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of wheat germ, for an extra boost (Optional)
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda for that perfect rise
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon, to add a touch of warmth (Optional)
  • 2 teaspoons of salt, to balance the flavors
  • 4 large eggs for binding
  • ½ cup of smooth applesauce
  • 10 drops of vibrant green food coloring, or more as desired

Step 1

In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together buttermilk and oats, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors. Next, in another large bowl, combine a mixture of flours, sweet brown sugar, wholesome wheat germ, baking soda, fragrant cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for added depth of taste.

Step 2

Now, whisk together some eggs, applesauce, and a hint of green food coloring into the oats mixture, adjusting the color to your liking. Gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined to create a slightly thick batter that is ready to be cooked.

Step 3

Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) to keep your pancakes warm as you prepare them. Meanwhile, heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat to a perfect 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using a 1/3 cup measure, pour the batter onto the griddle, allowing it to cook until bubbles form and the edges appear dry, usually about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until beautifully golden brown on the other side, which takes about 2 to 3 minutes more.

Step 4

Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while you continue cooking the remaining batter. Enjoy these delightful green pancakes as a colorful and tasty breakfast treat!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your savory green oat pancake mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and flavor.
  2. 2. Store any leftover cooked pancakes in a sealed container in the refrigerator for a quick and easy breakfast option later in the week.
  3. 3. Freeze cooked pancakes individually on a baking sheet, then transfer to a resealable bag for longer storage. Simply pop them in the toaster for a warm and delicious meal on the go.
