Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes dense.
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture and soften.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly if needed. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or additional maple syrup.
