A tall stack of these cake-like Oatmeal Pancakes makes a perfect breakfast! This is the best Oatmeal Pancakes recipe, made in a blender with easy and simple ingredients. Fluffy, wholesome, and so delicious!
Servings: 10 4 inch pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup whole or low-fat milk (almond milk could be used)
- 2 whole large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Add oats, flour baking powder, and salt to a blender or large food processor. Pull a few times until combined and the oats are almost at a flour-like consistency. It's ok if some of the oats are whole.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend until combined.
- Heat a griddle or skillet on medium heat and grease with butter or nonstick spray.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of pancake batter into the pan. Let cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles have formed at the top. Flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until you've used up all of the pancake batter.
- Optional, top pancakes with fresh fruit, butter, maple syrup, and whipped cream.
Notes
Recipe Tips:
Leftovers:
- Refrigerate any leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. They store best when they don’t have any toppings on top.
- To reheat, you can warm the pancakes in an oven at 350 degrees F for a few minutes, in a microwave, or toaster oven.
- To freeze, let the pancakes cool completely, then wrap each pancake individually with plastic wrap and place in a large heavy-duty ziplock bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, place the frozen pancake in a toaster oven or a heated oven. This makes busy mornings super easy with a grab-and-go breakfast!
- Protein pancakes: add a scoop or two of your favorite plain or vanilla protein powder. This makes an awesome post-workout breakfast! Drizzle with natural peanut butter for even more protein deliciousness!
- Make these Oatmeal Pancakes healthy by swapping the all-purpose flour, sugar, and butter for whole wheat flour, honey, and melted coconut oil.
- Baby Oatmeal Pancakes: instead of making these pancakes 4 inches, make them into 2-inch pancakes, be sure to reduce the cooking time on the griddle on each side since they will cook faster.
- Make Gluten-free Oatmeal Pancakes by using gluten-free oats and gluten-free flour. They will still be delicious, fluffy, and wholesome.
- Chocolate Oatmeal Pancakes: add two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the batter and a handful of chocolate chips (optional). You can also sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top!
