Table of Contents

Ingredients

For the Vegetables:

  • 1 avocado, pitted and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh coriander, chopped (optional)
  • Lemon juice, to taste

For the Oatmeal Pancakes:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 5 tablespoons milk (any type)
  • 2 eggs
  • (Optional) 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking oil or butter

For the Toppings:

  • 1/4 cucumber, sliced thinly
  • Additional avocado slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: In a bowl, combine chopped avocado, bell pepper, tomato, red onion, salt, pepper, coriander (if using), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Make the Oatmeal Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, milk, eggs, chia seeds (if using), and salt. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to soften.
  3. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Brush with oil or butter. Divide the oatmeal batter into two equal portions and pour onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Assemble and Enjoy: Spread each pancake with mashed avocado. Top with the prepared vegetable mixture and sliced cucumber. Add an extra drizzle of lemon juice and a sprinkle of coriander (optional) for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips

  • Feel free to adjust the vegetables to your preference. Other options include spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers of different colors, or chopped zucchini.
  • For a vegan option, replace the eggs with 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken before using.
  • To make this recipe ahead of time, cook the oatmeal pancakes and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before assembling.
  • Get creative with toppings! Try crumbled feta cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

This recipe is a game-changer for anyone who thinks oatmeal is bland. With its vibrant flavors and creamy texture, it’s sure to become a new breakfast favorite. So ditch the instant oatmeal packets and give this healthy and delicious hack a try!
