Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make oatmeal? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can take oat flakes of any grind: hercules or extra. If you take hercules, then you will additionally have to beat the mass with a blender.
Step 2:
Grind flax seeds in a coffee grinder.
Step 3:
In a deep bowl, pour the oat flakes, ground flax seeds.
Step 4:
Pour in water and add cane sugar. If you serve oatmeal with a salty filling, do not add cane sugar at all, or add only a pinch.
Step 5:
Fill the contents of the bowl with water so that it covers the flakes, but not higher than 0.5 cm. Mix everything thoroughly. After mixing, it turned out that there was not enough water, so I added a little more. There should not be too much water, but enough so that the oatmeal swells, but it does not gather in a lump. Leave to swell for 10-15 minutes. After swelling, the mass should be viscous, but fluid.
Step 6:
If you use coarse flakes, then lightly grind the mass with an immersion blender, but not until smooth. If the flakes are finely ground, like mine, then a blender is not needed. Add a mixture of soda and citric acid and mix well. The mass will begin to hiss and foam slightly.
Step 7:
Brush the frying pan with vegetable oil a little and heat it over low heat. Lay out half of the oatmeal-flax mixture and smooth it with a spatula, forming a thin, even round pancake. Bake the oatmeal until the moisture has completely evaporated. The bottom of the pancake should be well toasted. It is better to bake pancakes in a non-stick frying pan so that the pancakes do not stick to it.
Step 8:
Then flip to the other side and fry until tender. Transfer the finished pancake to a plate, brush the pan with oil again and fry the second pancake.
Step 9:
You can serve oatmeal with different fillings, sweet or salty. I served it with cottage cheese cream and fruit. Enjoy your meal!
Oatmeal is a good alternative to morning oatmeal porridge. The pancakes themselves are mostly neutral in taste, but are ideal for stuffing. Oatmeal pancakes are gaining more and more popularity due to the ease of preparation and variety of fillings.
Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
It is important to realize that there are no recipes or products in nature that are certainly useful to all people or unconditionally harmful to everyone. As with medicines, and in nutrition, there are indications and contraindications, daily individual consumption rates, and for most people all this is very personalized. At the same time, there are a lot of myths “about proper nutrition” (for example: fat is bad), which distort the very essence of this concept and in such a distorted form are distributed on the Internet and the media. Therefore, remember that any “PP recipe” will be related to proper nutrition only conditionally, it should not be perceived as a dogma. And even if the author of the recipe, a “healthy nutrition specialist” or a nutritionist and fitness trainer calls something useful (PP) or harmful, it may not be so for you personally.
The opinion of the site administration about proper nutrition may not coincide with the opinion of the author of the PP recipe!
