Eggless Oats & Dates Pancakes

During the weekdays the breakfast option is very limited for my kids. They are always in a hurry and it is really big deal if I get them to finish their bowl of oatmeal. On weekdays the brunch will consist of ildi, sambar, pongal or puri and at times medhu vadai too. Even if I attempt to make something else Hubby dear will start to complain. So I could try out something different only when the kids get holiday during week days. I tried these pancakes for them with eggs when they had holiday for Ramzan last month.

To my surprise it turned out very well. I was very much happy with its texture as it was very soft and fluffy. I wanted to try out the eggless version and I got a chance on Onam holiday. The combo simply rocked as this time I included oats as well and doubled the recipe. What more I was even more happy to find that the batter stayed fresh for the next 2-3 days. So the breakfast is now a breeze during the weekdays and also not monotonous.

These pancakes were so filling that I could not have more than 2. If you are tired of trying out the same old idlis, dosas or upma with oats these pancakes will definitely make a difference. The kids get their daily need of fiber, iron, calcium and a fruit all in one recipe.

  • You can use all purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.
  • The batter stays fresh and good for 3-4 days when refrigerated. So you can store the batter to avoid morning rush.
  • Make sure that the banana is not over ripe else the pancakes will turn out very dark and may at times stick to the pan.
  • I used just 1/2 cup sugar and found it perfect as both bananas and dates were sweet but if you want it very sweet increase the sugar quantity.
  • Butter was my option to cook when I made this for my kids.
