Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 as needed Oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats a few times until they break down into a coarse flour-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together to blend evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or a small dab of butter.

Step 7

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving spaces in between. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 8

Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
