These wholesome oats pancakes are a delicious, healthy breakfast option made with simple ingredients. Ground oats soaked in milk create a tender, fluffy texture with a subtle nutty flavor—perfect for a quick morning treat that feels both comforting and nourishing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats (ground into flour)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust to taste)
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • Butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare oat flour: Pulse the oats in a blender or food processor until finely ground.
  2. Soak: In a bowl, combine the oat flour and milk. Let sit for 10 minutes to thicken and soften.
  3. Mix: Stir in the egg, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are fine.
  4. Heat pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a swirl of butter and let it melt without browning.
  5. Cook pancakes: Drop 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:
Top these oats pancakes with fresh berries, sliced bananas, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a balanced and colorful plate.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Letting the batter rest is key to soft, fluffy pancakes.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
  • If batter thickens too much after resting, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.

Storage & Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave (wrapped in a damp paper towel) to keep them moist. Pancakes freeze well—stack with parchment paper and freeze up to 3 months.
