What do you generally make with oats? Porridge/ overnight oats or something else. I have tried many of these options, and kids do like porridge once in a while. This is one of the quickest and healthy breakfast option with oats that I feel and kids do enjoy eating as snack or breakfast without much fuss. I love this simple pancakes made with oatmeal or oats flour.
Pancakes are really a great option for my kids as they love most of them no matter what grain or cereal it's made from. And the best part of making pancakes is that they hardly need any sides like chutney or sambar. Adding sugar in the batter is strictly optional, modify as per needs. Drizzle a little honey or chocolate syrup and enjoy.
