Make light and tender oatmeal pancakes using a blender for quick preparation. This recipe uses whole oats to create a fluffy texture, avoiding the density often found in 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 on high until the oats turn into a fine flour consistency.
  2. Add the milk, eggs, melted butter, and sugar to the blender. Blend until just combined.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optional cinnamon to the blender. Pulse a few times until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb some liquid, helping the pancakes become fluffier.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  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 cooked through.
  7. Serve your fluffy oatmeal pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • If you prefer a thicker batter, let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • You can substitute the sugar with a sweetener of your choice, adjusting to taste.
