Lummur - Icelandic Oatmeal Pancakes#EatTheWorld

These thick oatmeal pancakes are the traditional food served for New Year in Iceland. Celebrated on the Third Thursday in April, it marks the end of winter and the beginning of summer which is observed as a national bank holiday. This breakfast is made from leftover oat porridge. Another best way to use leftover porridge.

These pancakes are, soft, delicious and HEAVENLY! My family absolutely enjoyed them. The combo of the oatmeal, cardamom and raisins, give a wonderful and sweet taste to the pancakes. They are best fresh and still warm but they keep quite well, you can take them with you for tiffin too. 

I have enjoyed these pancakes in Iceland for breakfast. We stayed in homestay, so got to enjoy authentic Icelandic food.  

Makes 12 pancakes
Ingredients
300 Grams Cooked Oatmeal - cooled
150 Grams All Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons Sugar
1⁄4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Baking powder
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Cardamom powder
2 Cups Milk
50 Grams Raisins - optional
Method

Stir flour, sugar, salt and baking powder into the cooked oatmeal.
Add eggs and cardamom powder. Stir in the milk and make a smooth batter. Add raisins and mix well.

Heat a nonstick pan and brush it with butter or desi ghee. Pour a ladle full and make round pancakes. I used my small pancake pan and made all the pancakes the same size.

Fry on hot pan like pancakes. Enjoy with a cube of butter. These are soft and taste good without any syrup.

My Notes

I, have used oats bran, you can use any oats you like. The quantity of milk may vary according to the moisture in the cooked oatmeal. So add milk a little at a time, as you are whisking to make a pancake like batter. I used the stick blender to make a smooth and lump free batter. Although raisins are optional but would suggest adding it since it renders a sweet taste to the pancakes. You do not need any syrup to be added, you can have them just as it is, they taste so good.

Gluten Free Oats & Apple Pancakes#BreadBakers

Oats and Apple pancake with, maple syrup
Fluffy gluten free apple pancakes that you can make in your blender!

Makes 6 Pancakes
Ingredients
1 Cup Oats
1 Cup Fresh Yogurt
1 Large Egg
1 Cup Grated Apple
2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
1 Tablespoon Baking powder
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
A Pinch of Salt

Method

In blender pulse the oats till powdered then add rest of the ingredients, except for the grated apple in the blender. Blend until it forms a smooth batter, pausing to scrape down the sides as necessary. Remove this batter into a bowl, stir in the grated apple and mix it well.

Heat a skillet/non-stick pan over medium-low heat, lightly brush the surface with butter.
Take a 1/3 measure cup, fill it with batter and pour this into the pan. Since it's quite thick , spread it lightly into a circle. Let the pancake cook for about 2-3 minutes on medium low flame . Be patient, these pancakes take a little longer to cook.

Once the underside is lightly golden, flip it with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown on both sides on medium low flame. Repeat with remaining pancakes.

Serve them immediately with maple syrup.

White Chocolate Chunk Oats Cookies#BakingBloggers

These are bakery style White Chocolate Chunk Cookies with golden brown edges with gooey centers.

They are so delicious perfect cookies to go with your tea or coffee. I have made big ones weight is 45 grams each. But they are so crisp and bake in just 12 to 14 minutes.

Makes 14 Big Cookies 
Ingredients
75 Grams Softened Butter
38 Grams Vegetable Shortening
140 Grams Caster Sugar
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
175 Grams All Purpose Flour
¼ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Baking soda
½ Teaspoon Baking powder
46 Grams Oats - make it into a powder
100 Grams White chocolate chips

Method  

Beat butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy, then add in the egg and vanilla essence, sieve the dry ingredients, with a spatula mix it till no dry spot of flour is seen. Cling wrap the bowl and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours I weighed each cookie 45 grams. Make round balls and placed them in a lined baking tray and again refrigerate the tray till the oven is pre heated.

In the meantime pre-heated oven to 170°C . Place one tray at a time in the oven and bake 12-15 minutes, half through the baking time, change the sides of the tray. Check if the cookies are done after 12 minutes. Mine were done at 13 minutes. Take the tray out of the oven and place the other tray. Lift each cookies with a spatula and place them on a wire rack, till they cooled completely. 

When completely cooled, store them airtight container. Enjoy with your tea or coffee. 

My Notes
You can make these all butter, but, I have used vegetable shortening a little so that these retain they shape and do not spread while baking. These retained their shape as your can see. They have perfect top. 

These are so crispy and chewy, you will love them.
Chilling the dough is a must or else you want be able to roll them or shape them.
