Description
These are the ultimate fluffy and easy oatmeal pancakes, perfect for a healthy, satisfying breakfast. We blend whole oats into a fine flour, making them naturally wholesome and delicious. Liam perfected the technique to guarantee a light, airy texture every time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Oil or butter for the griddle
Instructions
- Place the rolled oats into a blender. Process until you have a fine, flour-like consistency.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, sugar/maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. You know they are ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, ensure your baking powder is fresh.
- If you prefer a sweeter pancake, increase the sweetener slightly.
- We use whole rolled oats, not instant oats, for the best texture.
- If the batter seems too thick after resting, add milk, one teaspoon at a time, until it pours easily.
