Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, maple syrup if using, and vanilla extract until blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine for tender pancakes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. You want the pan hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know the first side is ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Serve your homemade pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings like butter and maple syrup.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, make sure your oats used to create the oat flour are certified gluten-free.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter pancake, increase the maple syrup to 2 tablespoons.
- You can make a batch ahead of time and reheat them in the toaster or oven for a quick breakfast meal prep option.
