They’re fluffy, hearty, and packed with warm cinnamon and a touch of honey sweetness—perfect for a slow weekend morning or a quick weekday treat. Let’s dive into this breakfast bliss!
Ingredients (Makes 8-10 Pancakes)
- 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, or maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend the Oats: Toss the rolled oats into a blender or food processor and pulse until they’re a coarse flour-like texture. This gives your pancakes that hearty oatmeal vibe!
- Mix the Dry Stuff: In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir it up so the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Whisk the Wet Stuff: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and golden.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until just mixed—don’t overdo it; a few lumps are fine!
- Cook ‘Em Up: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack those beauties on a plate, drizzle with extra honey, and top with your favorites—berries, bananas, or a splash of maple syrup. Dig in while they’re warm!
