Lummur are a traditional Icelandic breakfast dish that is commonly served with coffee or milk. These pancakes are similar to American pancakes but made with a combination of flour, oatmeal, and cardamom for a unique flavor. The name 'Lummur' means 'flat cake' in Icelandic, and the pancakes have a flat and round shape, with a slight thickness to them. They are often served warm, with a variety of toppings such as butter, jam, whipped cream, honey, or maple syrup. Lummur are a great choice for those who want a hearty and wholesome breakfast without too much effort. They can be made ahead of time and reheated, or frozen for later use.

2.Add the cooked oatmeal and eggs to the mixing bowl, and whisk to combine.
3.Gradually add the milk to the mixing bowl, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth.
4.If using raisins, stir them into the batter.
5.Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Grease it lightly with cooking spray.
6.Using a ladle, pour the batter onto the hot griddle/skillet to form small, thick pancakes.
7.Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
8.Repeat with the remaining batter.
9.Serve the Lummur pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings (e.g. jam, butter, whipped cream, honey, maple syrup).
