Make wonderfully fluffy and satisfying oatmeal pancakes that are perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch. This recipe uses whole grains for a healthy breakfast alternative.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats and milk into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and resembles a thin batter consistency. This creates your oat flour base.
  2. Pour the oat mixture into a medium bowl. Whisk in the eggs, baking powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture, which helps create light and tender pancakes.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a wholesome breakfast.

Notes

  • For a banana oatmeal pancakes version, mash 1 small ripe banana and mix it into the batter along with the wet ingredients. This adds natural sweetness and moisture.
  • To make these flourless, ensure you blend the oats completely until they form a fine powder before adding other ingredients.
  • If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter rest for 15 minutes or add one extra tablespoon of rolled oats (uncooked) to the final mixture.
  • These freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper between layers and store in a freezer bag for a quick morning meal later.
