Make fluffy, wholesome oatmeal pancakes with this tested recipe from Amelia and Jacob’s kitchen. This recipe delivers satisfying breakfast perfection without relying on bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place rolled oats and milk in a blender. Blend until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency.
  2. Pour the oat mixture into a medium bowl.
  3. Whisk in the egg, baking powder, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture, creating fluffier pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For an extra boost of protein, add one scoop of vanilla protein powder to the batter.
  • If you prefer thinner pancakes, add one tablespoon of extra milk to the final batter.
  • Jacob suggests swirling a small pat of butter into the batter just before cooking for richer flavor.
  • This recipe works well with quick oats or old-fashioned rolled oats.
