Ingredients

Scale
  • Pancakes:
  • 1½ cups (135 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy, oat, or almond)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
  • 23 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For cooking:
  • Butter or oil for the pan
  • To serve:
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries or sliced fruit
  • Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Add the rolled oats to a blender and blend on high until they turn into a fine oat flour.
  • 2. Pour in the milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Blend just until you have a smooth, pourable batter, scraping down the sides if needed. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • 3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • 4. Pour the batter into the pan in small rounds, about ¼ cup per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • 5. Adjust the heat as needed so the pancakes brown slowly and cook through without burning. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches as needed.
  • 6. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like.

Notes

  • Blending the oats into flour gives the pancakes a fluffy texture without any wheat flour.
  • Letting the batter rest a few minutes thickens it as the oats hydrate, which helps the pancakes hold their shape.
  • Use a medium heat so the pancakes cook through before the outside gets too dark.
  • For extra protein, swap some milk for Greek yogurt or add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, thinning the batter with a splash more milk if needed.
  • Leftover pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or skillet for a quick breakfast.
