Easy & Healthy 3 Ingredients Oat Blinis Recipe

Traditional Russian blinis are a hybrid between pancakes and pita bread, made with buckwheat. Blinis are a delicious special occasion treat usually served with cream cheese or sour cream smoked salmon and caviar.

After making several batches of my raw vegan carrot lox, it was obvious that I needed to make some healthy oat blinis to pair them with!!

My recipe is not as complicated as the original one, it’s not even a recipe but more of an “eyeball it” kind of situation. It’s just a matter of combining oat, water and a pinch of salt until you get a batter with consistency between pancakes and crepes!

Oats are a very versatile cooking ingredient, with numerous health benefits. It actually contains a pretty good amount of vitamin B1, B2, and E. As well as magnesium, iron, potassium & zinc. That’s why I make sure to include it in my daily diet!

These oat blinis are one of my go-to recipes, they are slightly crunchy on top but chewy and textured inside! It tastes really good for such an easy and healthy treat.

You can make them ahead of time. I even make big batches and freeze them. To keep them moist, I’d suggest wrapping the oat blinis with a kitchen towel and storing them in a glass container.

I tried this recipe with oat bran and grounded oatmeal, it works pretty much the same for both. I prefer the taste of the oat bran version but overall they are very similar.

They can either go for something sweet. Like those baby blinis topped with blueberry coconut yogurt and berries, I posted on Instagram the other day). Or they can be savory with cashew sour cream & carrot lox.

In my opinion, this combination makes for the perfect vegan and healthy version of a smoked salmon blinis.

I used to make these blinis a few years ago before even becoming vegan!! Anyway, here is the recipe for some easy and healthy oat blinis.
