A healthy breakfast or brunch with oats…
If you are bored of oatmeal, masala oats or oats soup; here is a different recipe that you can try with oats. It’s like pancakes, a savory version with mixed veggies and spices. Tasted really good and I served this along with over-easy eggs.

Ingredients
- Oats, Instant or Rolled- 1 cup

- Spinach or beet leaves, chopped- ¼ cup

Instructions
- Grind the oats in a blender or food processor to a fine powder.
- Into a bowl-add the ground oats, gram flour, carrot, spinach, green onions, cilantro and the spices.
- Add water and combine well using a spoon to make into a batter.
- You can add any kind of mixed veggies of your choice, or any spices as well.
- Place a pan over medium heat, grease with ½ tsp ghee.
- Pour 2 spoonful of oats batter, spread using the back of the spoon.
- Let the bottom side cook well and turn golden with some brown spots. Drizzle with ghee.
- Flip over and let the other side cook well. You can drizzle with some more ghee.
- Transfer to a plate.
- If the batter gets thick as the oats will absorb water, before pouring the batter to the pan you can add 1 to 2 tbsp more water and mix well.
- I enjoyed this for breakfast along with over easy egg, can be served with chutney or any kind of curries.
- Enjoy while its warm.
