Make wholesome, fluffy oatmeal pancakes using oat flour. This recipe skips the banana for a light, tender breakfast ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put the rolled oats into a blender or food processor. Process until you have a fine oat flour consistency. Measure out 1 cup of oat flour and place it in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the oat flour. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This lets the oats absorb liquid, which helps with texture.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know it is time to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  8. Serve your fluffy oatmeal pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter pancake without adding sugar to the batter, increase the vanilla extract slightly or use sweetened non-dairy milk.
  • These pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
