Oatmeal pancakes with skyr
Instructions
Tips
Blend the ingredients until the batter has the desired consistency. If you prefer the pancakes to have a bit of texture with surprise bits of oatmeal, do not blend the batter too long. But if you want extra light and airy oatmeal pancakes, make sure the batter is blended smoothly until the oats are almost dissolved.
Tips
Fry the pancakes on a thick, heavy-bottomed non-stick pan to ensure that the pancakes are fried evenly with a uniform golden-brown finish. Wait for the pancake to form bubbles on the surface before flipping it using a spatula. Make sure the pan is hot but not too hot or you will end up with burned pancakes.

Thin oatmeal pancakes with skyr
Oatmeal pancakes with skyr are a new take on an old classic with hints of vanilla and citrus. The ingredients for the thin, soft pancakes come together in a blender in a matter of seconds and are fried on a pan until they have a beautiful golden hue on both sides. Roll up the golden beauties and serve with a dollop of sweet vanilla skyr, fresh and juicy berries, a drizzle of honey, and a few edible flowers to add a crowning touch. It is just what you need on a lazy weekend morning with the family or as a dessert after a delightful meal.
Oats are a versatile ingredient in a lot of delicious recipes other than these oatmeal pancakes. Try overnight oats with different fruits and berries, baked oats with blueberries, and classic oatmeal porridge topped with diced apples, almonds, and cranberries.
Use vanilla skyr to add sweetness and a light texture
Skyr is at the heart of these delectable pancakes and our secret weapon to creating heavenly pancakes with a light, airy texture. The addition of skyr in the batter adds extra moisture to the oats, along with a sweet vanilla flavour and gentle tang. Skyr is a favourite kitchen staple in many Icelandic recipes and is somewhat similar to Greek yoghurt but thicker. In addition to being thicker, it has a firmer consistency and more subtle fresh flavour allowing the lemon zest and vanilla flavour to shine through. That is why it is perfectly suited for this easy oatmeal pancake recipe, helping to elevate an old classic.
Delicious berry and skyr toppings
Though you could easily pair the pancakes with an array of other tasty delicacies, we like to keep things simple, which is why we serve these oatmeal pancakes with vanilla skyr and fresh raspberries and blueberries. The classic berry duo adds a touch of colour to the humble pancakes with rich deep hues and plump, firm textures that are a joy to bite into. The juicy flavours are also a nice burst to complement the sweet vanilla skyr and round off the entire dish. We have even sprinkled some horned violets on top to add a beautifully delicate finish.
Enjoy classic pancakes with oatmeal
We have made an old classic easy with our recipe for oatmeal pancakes that is quick to make on weekdays and weekends alike. Oats add more texture to the skyr pancakes, resulting in a wholesome and a lot more satisfying experience with notes of grated lemon zest and warm vanilla. The best part is that you can add different fillings to the pancakes and roll them up whenever you get a sweet craving. This guarantees that you will never tire of these soft beauties and get to try new flavours and textures.
Make it your own
Replace raspberries and blueberries with other berries in season, for example, some ruby-red strawberries or succulent, juicy blackberries. Pick the ripest berries for a sweet, tangy flavour. Ripe blackberries have a deep black colour and are plump and full of a tender feel, while ripe strawberries will be firm and bright red all over.
If you have extra time on your hands and fancy a more decadent serving, you should try the oatmeal pancakes with some caramelised apples or pears topped with an extra dollop of skyr. Peel and cut the fruit into smaller pieces and fry them in a pan with melted butter until golden. Drizzle a bit of syrup over the fruit toward the end of frying and stir the mixture. The syrup adds a deeper and sweeter flavour, which offsets the tartness and yet sweetness of the vanilla skyr wonderfully.
