Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk (any type)
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

Once the oats have softened, add the egg, melted butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the oat-milk mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated skillet. Spread it slightly with the back of the spoon if needed.

Step 7

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
