Porridge is one of those classic breakfasts associated with simplicity, health, and a filling portion of energy to start the day.

If you want to refresh the breakfast menu and introduce something new, oat pancakes might be the perfect solution. It’s a great alternative to porridge that your kids will love from the first bite.

Oats, the base of classic porridge, are a true powerhouse of nutrients. They are a whole grain product, which means they provide a lot of fibre, B vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. They are also an excellent source of complex carbohydrates that slowly release energy, providing long-lasting satiety and energy throughout the morning.

However, not everyone is enthused about a daily serving of porridge, especially children. That's why it's worth experimenting and replacing porridge with tasty oat pancakes. They are easy to prepare, and the result is surprisingly delicious. These pancakes are soft and filling, and they're a great way to sneak healthy ingredients into a more appetising form.
