    Oats & Wholewheat Pancakes

    I felt odd clicking the publish button. As my last post was way too back in time. A big no in the blogging arena. The guilt that I had abandoned my blog was way too much than I could take. Life moves on bringing with it new challenges and changes. You have to make way for those and that means pushing certain things aside for some time. I have started working from home. Between raising the kids, doing household chores and working, I found some time to post a recipe, requested by my friends when I posted a photo of it, on Facebook.
    I had not known fluffy American style pancakes before coming to Qatar. What we referred to as pancakes back in Sri Lanka has actually been crepes, a batter of white flour;milk and eggs. I had a friend in Qatar who used to send pancakes made out of boxed mixes you get easily here  in the Middle East. They are so fluffy,light and topped with butter melting on top and syrup trickling from sides. Needless to say I was hooked. I started making my own from scratch and the kids devoured it.
    Later as I became more health conscious, I tweaked the recipe to add more wholesome ingredients. Oats and Wholewheat flour replaced All-Purpose Flour. Honey instead of syrup. It didn't disappoint and came out well than anticipated. Kids didn't mind the changes and for me,that's the sign for a keeper. Paired with bananas, it is a favorite among us now.
