Introduction

Oatmeal pancakes are an excellent choice for a filling, nutritious breakfast.

Using oats not only adds health benefits but also gives the pancakes a heartier texture and a subtle nutty flavor.

Ingredients

Old-fashioned rolled oats

Milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk)

Plain Greek yogurt for added moisture and protein

Eggs

A sweetener such as maple syrup or honey

Baking essentials like baking powder and salt

Optional flavor enhancers like vanilla extract, cinnamon, or fruit mix-ins

Instructions

Prepare the Oats: Start by soaking the rolled oats in milk for about 10-15 minutes. This softens the oats and ensures they blend well into the batter without adding too much crunch.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine ingredients like eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and any spices.

Combine All Ingredients: Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then fold in the soaked oats. If using, add any additional mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips.

Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, then flip to cook the other side.

Conclusion

Oatmeal pancakes are a fantastic way to enjoy a more nutritious version of a beloved breakfast.

They are customizable, easy to make, and can be adjusted to cater to different dietary needs or flavor preferences.

Serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt for a delicious meal.
