When it comes to improvising in the kitchen, we always look for what we have on hand, and we take risks, hoping for a good result, that it will turn out well, and that it will be edible.
A while ago, I shared a recipe for oatmeal pancakes with cocoa. I put a lot of effort into it, guided, of course, by the recipes I see online. It's amazing how many different recipes there are, but the thing is, they show them as if they were perfect, but the reality is quite different, at least in my case. They've never turned out like they do in the videos.
But anyway, back to the topic of pancakes. The ones I made for the first time had several ingredients, and of course, they didn't turn out smooth or perfect. This time, thinking about breakfast for my dad's birthday, I wanted to make the same ones, but as I said, I had to improvise with the few ingredients I had.
It wasn't much of a difference, I just needed oatmeal and cocoa, but I didn't have much, so I used just enough.
- 1 cup of oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 egg
That was all I used. I started mixing, and my batter began to form. However, I saw in another recipe that when cooking the pancakes, they added cheese, so that's what I did. I put my batter in the pan, white cheese on top, and another layer of batter, and that was it. I just had to wait for it to cook.
Simple, quick, without too many ingredients or step-by-step instructions, the result was the same: a delicious cocoa and oat pancake.
Sometimes, from something simple and easy, we get something extraordinary, don't we? 馃構

Cuando se trata de improvisar en la cocina, siempre buscamos lo que tenemos a la mano, y nos arriesgamos, esperando tener un buen resultado, que quede bien, y se pueda comer.
Hace un tiempo compart铆 una receta de panquecas de avena con cacao, all铆 me esmer茅 mucho, gui谩ndome por supuesto por las recetas que veo por las redes, es sorprendente la variedad de recetas que se consiguen, el detalle esta, en que ellos los muestran como si quedara perfecto, pero la realidad es otra, por lo menos en mi caso, nunca me han quedado como salen en los videos.
Pero bueno, volviendo al tema de las panquecas, aquellas que prepare por primera vez, ten铆a varios ingredientes, por supuesto no me quedaron lisas ni perfectas, en esta ocasi贸n, pensando en el desayuno para el cumplea帽os de mi pap谩, quise preparar unas iguales, sin embargo, como dije, me toco improvisar con lo poco que contaba de los ingredientes.
Igual no era mucho la diferencia, solo necesitaba la harina de avena, y el cacao, solo que no ten铆a mucho, use lo justo.
- 1 Taza de harina de avena
- 1 cucharada de cacao en polvo sin az煤car
- 1 Huevo
Fue todo lo que use, empec茅 a mezclar, y all铆 se iba formando mi masa; sin embargo, vi en otra receta que al cocinar las panquecas, le agregaban queso, as铆 que eso hice, puse mi masa, en el sart茅n, queso blanco encima, y otra capa de la masa, y listo, esperar que se cocine.
Sencillo, r谩pido, sin tantos ingredientes, ni paso a paso, el resultado, lo mismo, una rica panqueca de cacao y avena.
A veces de lo sencillo y f谩cil, obtenemos algo extraordinario, no es as铆. 馃構
