🥞 Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier option)

• 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Soak the oats:
   In a bowl, combine the oats and milk. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to soften the oats.

2. Mix dry ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3. Combine wet ingredients:
   Add the egg, melted butter/oil, vanilla, and sweetener to the oat-milk mixture. Stir well.

4. Make the batter:
   Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix — a few lumps are fine.

5. Cook the pancakes:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.

6. Serve:
   Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings — like fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or maple syrup.

🌾 Tips:

• Want extra protein? Add 1–2 tbsp of Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder to the batter.

• Make it gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats and substitute the flour with a GF blend or oat flour.

• Meal prep: Make a batch and store leftovers in the fridge (up to 4 days) or freeze for later.
