Peach Pecan Oat Griddle Cakes

By: The Food Hunter

We take a lot of road trips during the summer months which often have me in the car when my early morning hungry strikes. For this reason I like to have healthy pre-made food options ready to go when I need them.

Oat cakes are an easy-to-make, portable breakfast option that are both delicious & healthy. Since they are sweetened with your favorite fruit they don't need any added sugar. Though they are extremely filling alone you can also spread a layer of nut butter.


Peach Pecan Oat Griddle Cakes
(makes about 8 griddle cakes)

⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons coconut oil,
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup ground old fashion oats
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-2 peaches, thinly sliced
toasted pecans

Mix the yogurt, coconut oil, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat in the eggs. In another bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add wet ingredients & peaches to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. You can add the pecans into the batter at this point or sprinkle them over top of the finished griddle cakes.

Heat a nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the pan with coconut oil. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto pan. Let cook about 3-4 minutes and flip it with a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.
Griddle cakes can be served immediately or frozen and reheated in a toaster.
