Make incredibly fluffy and satisfying oatmeal pancakes right at home. This recipe uses whole rolled oats to create a hearty, healthy breakfast that everyone will love. We show you the simple steps to get that perfect, light texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Oil or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats and milk into a blender. Blend until the mixture resembles a thick, smooth batter, similar to traditional pancake batter.
  2. Pour the blended oat mixture into a bowl. Whisk in the egg, baking powder, sugar (if using), and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Heat your griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or butter.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You can substitute 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed for 1 tablespoon of oats for added nutrition.
  • Always use whole rolled oats, not instant oats, for the best texture.
