Since I have never been a pancake fan, this recipe is quite a breakthrough for me. After seeing a lot of different vegan - gluten free recipes online, I have decided to give it a try. I have to confess; now I am addicted! Truly delicious, filling and super healthy, especially without any oil. There is only minor difference between the way they turned out. Those made with oil are more puffy and pretty. I took photos of both so you can see the difference. The final photos are made on oil and the process photos, (no need to explain), are made on parchment paper. The taste is pretty much the same, but it takes longer to make them on the parchment paper, so it is really up to you what you prefer.  

Oats boast an impressive nutritional profile. Modest oats hide their impressive virtues inside of those unassuming little hulls. One cup of oats provides 6 g of protein and 4 g of fibre. Fibre is a multitalented nutrient, protecting us from any number of potential health problems (see the next several oat benefits!). Eat one cup of oats and you'll rack up nearly 70% of your daily needs for manganese, a mineral that helps enzymes in bone formation. You'll also get good helpings of vitamin B1 and magnesium.

Oats fill you up. For all that nutritional intensity, one cup of plain, whole grain, cooked oats will only cost you 147 calories. But it's not the calories in oatmeal that fill you up - it's the fibre. In addition, the grain falls on the low end of the glycemic index (GI), which is a ranking of how carbohydrates affect your blood sugar levels. When you eat oats, your body will digest and absorb them slowly, keeping you feeling full, controlling your appetite, and delaying hunger pangs. Read more
