Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cups Cornmeal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your griddle or waffle iron, according to the manufacturer's instructions, if using.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they are ground into a fine flour-like consistency. This step ensures a smoother batter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, whole wheat flour, cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
For pancakes, lightly grease a griddle or nonstick pan with butter or cooking spray and set it over medium heat. Pour the batter onto the griddle (around 1/4 cup per pancake). Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
For waffles, lightly grease the waffle iron, pour the batter into the iron according to its capacity, and cook until golden brown and crisp, typically 4-5 minutes. Follow your waffle iron's specific instructions.
Serve the pancakes or waffles warm with your favorite toppings like butter, fresh fruit, yogurt, or syrup.
