I like to have a variety and want my family to eat everything or include all the different types of grains and flour. Oats is one such grain. However, we cannot eat oats in porridge form or sweet form. Hence I experiment with this in different recipes. You can read more about Oats here.

Did you try this Sugarless Cacao Oats Breakfast Smoothie yet, or this Savory 10 minutes Vegetable Oats Upma? I also love my oats in my morning breakfast as in this, Apple Granola Overnight Oats or in the form of my Granola. And yes if you need to add oats to your kid’s diet try this, Vegan Baked Oats and Vegetable Bites or Beet root and Oats Cookies

Oats Vegetable Chila

I am making this Oats vegetable chila for a long now. I simply grind the oats coarsely in a blender. Earlier I used to mix semolina and now I have replaced this with besan or gram flour. No health reason, in particular, to replace semolina, just trying to replace it with less processed flours. Next, I add different vegetables I have on hand or the ones I want to sneak in like capsicum, spinach, carrots etc. That’s it with a few more spices added you are done with the batter and healthy and delicious breakfast or lunch box is ready within no time.

Also, this goes well as finger food or toddler food for those super active kids who do not wish to sit and eat. Make them in the desired shape or into bite-size pancakes and hand it over to them. You are sorted with a filling meal for your little ones.

I have posted this recipe long back, today I am updating the contents and pics. As said, I have changed the recipe a bit, but you can still use the same old. I am sharing this with our group “Foodies_RedoingOldPost” where we would be updating our old posts with content or pics every 2 weeks.

So for the Eleventh week of #Foodies_RedoingOldPost_11 (1-Nov-2019) , I am updating my Oats Vegetable Chila Recipe.

Vegan Substitutions

I have used yogurt in this, Vegans can use vegan yogurt or replace it with water.

Is this Gluten-Free

Yes it is gluten-free. I have used oats and chickpea flour. But be sure to use certified gluten-free oats

• You should be able to spread it in the pan. It is a bit thick than dosa batter.
