Make soft, tender oatmeal pancakes using oat flour for a wholesome, quick breakfast. This recipe delivers fluffy results without needing banana.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Grind the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you have a fine oat flour consistency. Measure out 1 cup of oat flour and place it in a medium bowl.
  2. Whisk the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in the bowl.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. This batter is best when it rests for 5 minutes.
  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 about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. 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.
  8. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve your fluffy oatmeal pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • To make this recipe gluten free, use certified gluten free rolled oats.
  • For banana oatmeal pancakes, substitute the milk with 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, add 1 to 2 extra tablespoons of milk.
  • You can make this a make ahead breakfast by storing leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
