Fluffy, wholesome, and oh-so-easy to make, Simply Oatmeal Pancakes are the ultimate breakfast delight for health-conscious eaters and pancake lovers alike. This recipe blends the hearty goodness of rolled oatsโpulverized into a homemade oat flourโwith all-purpose flour, a touch of cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla for warm, comforting flavors in every bite. Sweetened naturally with maple syrup and made versatile with your choice of dairy or non-dairy milk, these pancakes are as nutritious as they are delicious. Ready in just 25 minutes, they're perfect for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches. Serve these golden, tender stacks with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt to kick-start your day with wholesome indulgence.
In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble a coarse flour texture. This will serve as your oat flour.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can result in dense pancakes. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or cooking spray to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, maple syrup, or yogurt.
