Perfect for health-conscious eaters, these light and fluffy oat pancakes are a guilt-free way to satisfy your breakfast cravings.
Begin by placing the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until they are finely ground to a flour-like consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to incorporate all dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Ensure not to over-mix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruits, a dollop of low-fat yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
