Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
Oatmeal: 2 cups (220 g)
Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, sugar, etc.): 3 tbsp (50 g)
Salt: 1/2 tsp (3 g)
Eggs: 4 large
Warm Milk: 1 cup (250 ml)
Butter, melted: 3 1/2 tbsp (50 g)
Vanilla Extract: 1 tbsp
Water: 1 cup (250 ml)
Oil for frying: A drop of neutral oil (canola, sunflower, or vegetable)
Directions
Prepare the Oatmeal Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of oatmeal, 3 tbsp of sweetener, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, lightly beat the 4 eggs. Gradually add the warm milk to the oatmeal mixture, stirring continuously. Then, add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Adjust Consistency: Slowly add 1 cup of water to the batter, stirring to achieve a smooth and pourable consistency.
Heat the Pan and Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a drop of oil. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and spread slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
Flip and Cook the Other Side: Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, yogurt, maple syrup, honey, or nut butter.
Serving Suggestions
Drizzle with maple syrup or honey.
Top with fresh berries, banana slices, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
For a savory twist, serve with scrambled eggs and sautéed vegetables.
Cooking Tips
Use warm milk to help the batter mix more easily and result in fluffier pancakes.
Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
Ensure a non-stick pan or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking.
