Oatmeal Pancakes
Description
Oatmeal Pancakes begin by combining almond milk, whole milk Greek yogurt, a large egg, maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla extract, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt in a blender to form a smooth batter. The blended oats add body and a mild nutty flavor, while cinnamon offers warmth without overpowering. The batter is cooked on a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium-low heat using a ⅓-cup measure, creating pancakes that puff and brown nicely.
These pancakes have a tender and slightly dense texture from the oats, balanced by the leavening power of baking powder. The subtle sweetness from maple syrup enhances their flavor without masking the oats. They serve well topped with additional maple syrup and fresh fruit, making for a wholesome and filling breakfast choice.
The recipe yields about six pancakes, and if the batter thickens during cooking, a few more tablespoons of almond milk can be added to adjust the consistency. This flexibility helps maintain even cooking and proper texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk plus more as needed, unsweetened
- ½ cup Greek yogurt whole milk
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil plus more for the pan
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats whole
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- Fresh fruit for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, place the almond milk, yogurt, egg, maple syrup, avocado oil, vanilla, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and stir to ensure that the batter is evenly combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and brush lightly with oil. Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until puffed and golden brown, reducing the heat as needed and working in batches as necessary. The remaining batter will thicken between batches. If it becomes too thick, thin it with 1 to 2 more tablespoons almond milk as needed.
- Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
- Makes about 6 pancakes.
