The recipe is not exactly dietary, but quite suitable for those who decide to limit themselves to sweets and flour. Oatmeal pancakes are prepared with kefir from products with a low calorie content: low-fat or 1% kefir, no eggs, and half of the flour in them is replaced with oatmeal. Any are suitable: instant or oatmeal. To make the flakes soften faster and not crunch on your teeth, they are crushed and poured with kefir for 10-15 minutes. In fact, these are the most ordinary kefir pancakes, only with the addition of oatmeal, and if you like it, then you will also like oatmeal pancakes with kefir.
Preparation
Measure out a glass of rolled oats or instant cereal. Place in a blender or food processor fitted with the top blade attachment. You can also use a meat grinder, passing the oatmeal through it once.
Grind in the “pulse” mode to obtain pieces of different sizes.
Pour kefir over the oatmeal, heated slightly warmer than room temperature. Leave for 10-15 minutes until the oatmeal swells and becomes soft. If you make the dough right away, you will feel coarse flake particles in the pancakes, which is not to everyone’s taste. And after they swell, they will not be felt at all.
When the flakes swell, they will absorb part of the liquid, the mass will already thicken and will resemble not very thick oatmeal.
Add a glass of sifted wheat flour. Mix. The result will be a fairly thick dough for pancakes, but due to the ground oatmeal, the texture will be uneven, rough, with pieces of flakes.
Add a little sugar to oatmeal pancakes with kefir and sweeten to taste. If calorie content is not important to you, add one or two spoons, the pancakes will turn out sweet.
All that remains is to add baking powder or soda - at your discretion. The soda needs to be quenched in a small amount of kefir or poured with vinegar and added to the dough. Add baking powder about five minutes before we start frying the oat pancakes.
Place the frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Heat for about a minute until the oil is hot. If the pancakes are not warmed up enough, they will not rise and will not bake well. Reduce heat to medium. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough from the bowl and place it in the pan, leaving space between the flatbreads. From the first portion it will be clear whether the dough is the right thickness or not. It should not spread, but remain an even circle. As soon as holes begin to appear on the surface, turn the oat pancakes over.
On the second side they fry faster, they will brown in a minute. Remove to a plate or napkin or paper towel to get rid of fat. If you need to keep them hot, cover with a large bowl larger than the diameter of the plate. Then the condensation will flow down the walls onto the table, and not onto the plate.
You can serve oatmeal pancakes with kefir with anything: condensed milk, sour cream, jam, honey. If sweets are a taboo, then natural yogurt or berry puree made from fresh or frozen berries is suitable. Bon appetit!
You can make the dish as dietary as possible: fry the pancakes in a ceramic frying pan without adding vegetable oil.

History of the origin of pancakes
The first memories of this simple dish date back to the middle of the 16th century. Its name comes from the ancient Greek “elaion”, “eladion” - which translated means “oil”, “on oil”. Pancakes were fluffy palm-sized pancakes made from sour dough, fried in oil. There are several versions of the origin of this dish.
- The oldest one says that even in pagan times, round-shaped products were baked from flour to honor the Slavic sun god Yarila, because pancakes were associated with the spring sun in their shape and golden color. They were eaten only with their hands, so as not to desecrate one of the main gods. Anyone who violated this prohibition was beaten to death with sticks, like the desecrator of Yarila.
- The origin of such a holiday as Maslenitsa is also an echo of paganism. Women prepared a variety of pancakes, flatbreads and pancakes for fairs, and mothers-in-law invited their sons-in-law to a festive dinner to taste various pancakes. It was a special sign of respect to treat your son-in-law to pancakes.
- There is a version of its origin “by accident,” when the housewife wanted to heat up the oatmeal jelly, forgot about it, and it fried. As a result, the first pancake recipe was born.
- Be that as it may, this beloved dish does not lose its popularity today, becoming not just tasty and satisfying, but also a healthy dish.

Making oat pancakes
- Products for making pancakes. First, let's take some of the flakes, namely 150 grams, and grind them with an immersion blender into coarse flour. We recommend using a deep container to prevent the flakes from flying all over the kitchen.
- Grind oatmeal using an immersion blender. We will leave the second part to give texture and viscosity to the pancakes. You should use "Extra" class instant cereal, but if you don't have it, you shouldn't be upset, because you can make oatmeal pancakes. To do this, you just need to grind the finished porridge with a blender, and since we are preparing oat pancakes with kefir, the amount of kefir needs to be reduced to the desired thickness. Following our photo instructions, achieving the desired consistency will not be difficult. Wash the apple and remove the skin. It will add sourness and juiciness to the finished dish. If you replace the apple with a banana, you will get no less tasty and aromatic oatmeal-banana pancakes!
- Peel the apple. Grate the sour apple on a coarse grater.
- Three apples on a coarse grater. Combine prepared ingredients. Chicken eggs should be washed before use. Since we are preparing oatmeal pancakes without flour, we should let the prepared mixture stand for about 20 minutes so that the oatmeal and flour swell, thereby making this mixture more viscous.
- Combine oatmeal, oat flour with sugar, soda and kefir. Add grated apple to the finished mixture.
- Add an apple. The finished mixture should be heated slightly so that the kefir activates the soda and makes the oat mass fluffy and the finished pancakes more airy. To do this, heat the oat mixture, stirring constantly, in a saucepan on the stove for 1-2 minutes.
- Heat the oat mixture on the stove until small bubbles appear in the mixture. Oatmeal pancakes should be baked in a hot frying pan with the addition of vegetable oil. Add oil as needed. The pancakes cook very quickly, so be careful not to burn them! After turning, the heat should be reduced - this will give the pancakes time to rise and cook completely.
- Fry the pancakes in a frying pan until cooked. Serve the finished pancakes with natural yogurt and fresh fruits and berries. You can diversify the dish by preparing banana-oat pancakes or adding nuts and dried fruits to the base mixture. Oatmeal pancakes are dietary and quickly digestible, so they are a complete and healthy breakfast, especially since you can prepare the mixture for pancakes in the evening and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, just take out the mixture and bake the pancakes in a frying pan.
- Oatmeal pancakes are ready. Photos of the finished oat pancakes clearly show the end result. Bon appetit!
