Pancakes are one of my favourite food groups. It is impossible to be depressed eating pancakes. Go on try.
I’ve been experimenting with oat muffins (recipe coming soon) so I figured oats would work equally well in pancake form. With Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day coming up, this recipe will hit the spot for everyone whether eating gluten free or not.
