🥄 Texture

The pancakes are slightly dense and chewy from the rolled oats, with a tender, custardy interior provided by the eggs. The exterior develops lightly crisp, golden edges when pan-fried, giving a pleasant contrast to the soft center.

👃 Aroma

Warm chocolate and vanilla are the dominant notes, joined by toasty oat and cooked-egg aromas. The overall scent is comforting and mildly sweet, with a homey, baked-cereal undertone.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Freshly brewed coffee (latte or americano), hot chocolate, or a full-bodied black tea; milk or a chilled chocolate milk also pairs well.

🥗 Side Dishes

Fresh fruit (berries, sliced banana), a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a smear of nut butter (almond or peanut) are all good accompaniments.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl and beat them together with a fork until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Add the oatmeal, chocolate powder, vanilla essence, water, and salt to the eggs. Stir everything together with a spoon until you have a thick, smooth batter. Let it sit for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour small portions of batter into the pan (about 3 inches wide). You can make 3-4 pancakes at a time.

  4. 4

    Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip it over carefully and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until golden.

  5. 5

    Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve warm. You can eat them plain or add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey.
