Mini Oats Pancake Pops

Pancakes are quite possibly the only dish that is made worldwide, varying in its shape, size and leavened structure based on the region. It is also found that pancakes have been the oldest and widespread methods of cereal consumption in prehistoric societies.

It is typically made from a starch based batter that may contain eggs, milk and butter and is fried on a flat, heated surface. Pancakes are made all over the world, with each variation holding the region’s preferences and traditions. The most popular one, however, is the

American version of it. It is made with leavening agents like baking powder, making them fluffy and taller than unleavened pancakes.

Pancakes are often treated as breakfast or brunch foods. They need to be consumed seated- a stack of pancakes with toppings on them. Sounds fancy? Maybe we can make a version that can be picked up and eaten on the go.Smaller, portable pancakes on a stick! Thus, the idea of pancake pops was born. These smaller treats are great for when you cannot sit down to enjoy a nice, fluffy pancake.

Oats is a healthier substitute for gluten filled, refined wheat flour. It is easy to replace refined flour with ground oats in almost any recipe, and we have done exactly that in this recipe.
