Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe

Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil, plus more for the skillet
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Equipment:

• Blender or food processor (optional, for smoother texture)
• Skillet or griddle
• Mixing bowl

Instructions:

1. Blend Oats (Optional):
   • For a smoother texture, blend the rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble a coarse flour. This step is optional; you can use whole oats for a heartier texture.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended oats (or whole rolled oats), flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
4. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with a little butter or oil.
   • Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the oatmeal pancakes hot with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt.

These oatmeal pancakes offer a delicious start to the day and are especially satisfying. They’re easy to customize with additions like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts mixed into the batter. Enjoy your pancake making! If you need any more recipes or variations, feel free to ask!
