🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon oil or butter for cooking

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil.

3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. This will help hydrate the oats and improve the texture of the pancakes.

5. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.

6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary.

7. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

8. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a low oven while cooking the remaining batter.

9. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
