Place the rolled oats in a bowl and pour the milk over them. Stir well, cover, and let the mixture soak for at least 20 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator for better texture.
Preheat a non-stick skillet, griddle, or waffle iron, depending on your preference.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the soaked oats and milk mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or oil).
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but well-combined.
If desired, stir in optional add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or blueberries.
For pancakes: Lightly grease the skillet or griddle and pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
For waffles: Lightly grease and preheat the waffle iron. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the iron (depending on the model) and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden and crispy on the edges.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
