Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 as needed Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats a few times until they break down into a coarse flour-like consistency. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to blend evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or a small dab of butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving spaces in between. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
