In a blender, combine the rolled oats and milk. Blend for 30 seconds until the mixture is slightly smooth but still retains some texture for a hearty pancake base.
Add the egg, baking powder, vanilla extract, sugar (if using), and salt to the blender. Blend again briefly until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash of milk to thin it out slightly.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or a dollop of nut butter.
