Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Once the oats have softened, add the egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the oat mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — the batter will be slightly thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop 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.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or additional honey or maple syrup.
