Green Oat Pancakes for St. Patrick's Day

Green Oat Pancakes for St. Patrick's Day

Here is a wholesome breakfast alternative for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration. They are a little less fluffy pancake and a little more hearty goodness. These are based on Taste of Home’s Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes. I made them a little healthier. And green. We served with applesauce, strawberry simple syrup, powdered sugar, or maple syrup. You could also try molasses. Originally posted on my blog.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon wheat germ (Optional)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 10 drops green food coloring, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Combine buttermilk and oats in a large bowl; let soak for 5 minutes.

Step 2
Combine flours, brown sugar, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 3
Whisk eggs, applesauce, and green food coloring into the oats mixture. Add more green food coloring if desired. Stir in flour mixture until batter is just moistened.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 5
Heat a lightly oiled griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour batter onto the griddle using a 1/3 cup measure. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 6
Place pancakes on a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook’s Notes:

If you don't have buttermilk, add 4 tablespoons vinegar to 4 cups milk and let stand until curdled, about 5 minutes. Use as directed in the recipe. If you use quick-cooking oats, you can skip the soaking.
