You want fluffy pancakes, not dense ones. This easy recipe uses a blender to create fine oat flour, resulting in light, wholesome oatmeal pancakes perfect for quick weekday mornings or weekend brunch. This method avoids the heaviness often associated with oat-based breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats into a high-speed blender. Blend until the oats become a fine powder, resembling oat flour.
  2. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and sugar to the blender with the oat flour. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon.
  4. Pour the wet oat mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and causes dense pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
  7. Flip and cook the second side for 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • To prevent dense pancakes, stop mixing the batter as soon as the flour disappears. A slightly lumpy batter yields a lighter texture.
  • For a gluten-free option, confirm your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
