In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble a coarse flour. This creates homemade oat flour for the pancakes.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: orange juice, milk, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh orange slices, or a dollop of yogurt.
