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.

Mofo Gasy/Madagascar Yeasted Pancakes#EatTheWorld

Mofo Gasy (pronounced as muf gas)means "Malagasy bread", is a traditional breakfast from Madagascar, the large island off the southeast coast of Africa. It's also a common street food served as breakfast along with coffee/tea. Mofo gasy can also be made with coconut milk. Variations of the recipe occur based on the regions of Madagascar. On the coast, this bun is made from coconut milk and is known as mokary voanio or mokary coco. Mofo gasy is prepared with sweetened rice flour batter which is yeasted and cooked in greased circular moulds which ressembles quite like our own appe/aebleskiver pan.

Let the rice paste cool completely. In a large bowl add the rice flour, cooked rice paste, instant yeast, sugar then add the coconut milk and mix everything with your hand until it turns semi thick batter.

Keep it in warm place to ferment / doubles in volume for 3-6 hours. Once the batter ferment/doubles in volume, mix the batter well. Beat the egg, add this to the batter, mix well.

Heat an aebleskiver/appe pan over low heat.
Brush the cavities with the desi ghee/oil. Add some batter in each cavity till its full. Cover the pan and let the pancake cook for 2-3 minutes. Take the lid off and turn each bread over and let it cook till done.

Keto Mini Blueberry Coconut Flour Pancakes#Foodieextravaganza

These breakfast or dinner style Keto Pancakes aren’t thin and eggy, and neither do they fall apart and taste delicious. I love my pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup! Have this with my delicious Bullet Coffee and you're full.

I have used ¼ cup almond milk to make the batter. The almond milk used to make batter will vary in the size of eggs, so add milk little at a time to than nice semi thick batter. If your batter is too thin then the cooking time may vary. If you want these more sweet then increase the stevia powder, for me they were just right in sweetness.
The macros for these pancakes are fantastic.

Serving Size: 4 Pancakes - Net Carbs 6Grams
Makes 16 Mini pancakes
Cup Measurement - 250Ml
Ingredients
50 grams Butter - melted
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
6 Large Eggs
¼ Cup Almond Milk -coconut, macadamia or any will all work)
½ Cup Coconut Flour
¼ Cup Golden Flaxseed powder
¼ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Stevia
1 Teaspoon Baking powder 
½ Cup Fresh Blueberries

Method

Combine the butter, vanilla extract, stevia, eggs and nut milk into a medium bowl and combine using a whisk until the thoroughly mixed.
In a another large bowl combine the coconut flour, flax seed meal, salt and baking powder well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and whisk together until you have a uniform batter. Set aside for a couple minutes to allow it to thicken.

Preheat a large skillet to medium low heat and grease using a spray, ghee or coconut oil. I used my mini pancake/uttappam pan. 

If you use a normal skillet they tend to spread. When the skillet is heated, using a ¼ measuring cup add the batter to the skillet. Place 3 -4 blueberries on top. 

Cook on medium low heat on first side for 3-4 minutes and then flip and cook till this is golden for about a minute.

Work in batches until all the batter has been used.

Serve immediately with desired toppings, such as sugar free syrup or pure maple syrup and additional blueberries.
Best stored in a zip top bag or air tight container in the fridge up to 1 week.

Keto Coconut Flour Pancake & A Sandwich Burger#SundayFunday

This Keto sandwich uses pancakes as the bun and it’s filled with amazing soft scrambled or fried egg, sausage patty or any leftover chicken with cheese slice. One sandwich is just sufficient with a salad at the side to fill your tummy. Feel satisfied and happy after eating this meal. In the batter you can add fresh or dried herbs of your choice.

Makes 4 Pancakes & 2 Sandwich Burgers
Ingredients
2 Large Eggs
2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
2 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
1/8 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/8 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/8 Teaspoon Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Dried Chives
1/8 Teaspoon Dried Parsley
4 Tablespoons Milk - I used Full Fat Milk
1 Tablespoon Butter
Method

In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Then add the eggs and milk, stir until there are no lumps. Let it sit for a minute (the batter will get a little fluffier).

Melt ½ tablespoon butter in the pan, and pour two small sandwich sized “pancakes” ( about 2 - 2½ tablespoons each) into your pan on medium heat. It will only spread a little bit. 

When the tops start to bubble and the sides look brown, check to see if the bottom is brown, and if so then flip them both over.

Now let's assemble our Sandwich Burgers
To make a grilled sandwich you can add filling of your choice. 

One I made with leftover grilled chicken

and a cheese slice. Place the filling on one pancake the leftover chicken, the cheese slice

now place the second pancake on top with the un-done side up.

Flip when the bottom is brown, and continue cooking till the cheese is melted

and the sandwich is done!

Now make the other 2 pancakes like wise with the remaining ½ tablespoon butter. 

As I mentioned earlier I made this with a fried egg and slice of cheese. 

This sandwich is not crunchy like regular bread when made into grilled cheese. 

It has a great flavor and wonderful bread-y texture. I had half of the egg and half of the chicken. The other half's I refrigerated for another meal. The extras will keep in the fridge for a day or so (you can toast them or heat them back up in the pan… or eat them cold!).
