Learn how to make wonderfully fluffy and wholesome oatmeal pancakes. This easy recipe is perfect for a satisfying, healthy breakfast that comes together quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats and milk into a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and resembles a thick batter. This creates your oat flour base.
  2. Pour the oat mixture into a medium bowl. Whisk in the egg, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb more liquid, which helps create fluffier pancakes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the surface lightly with melted butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a banana-sweetened version, substitute 1 ripe, mashed banana for the maple syrup and reduce the milk by 2 tablespoons.
  • If you want extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg. Whisk the yolk into the batter, and beat the egg white until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter just before cooking.
  • These pancakes freeze well. Cool completely, then stack with parchment paper between layers before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
