Make ultimate fluffy and easy oatmeal pancakes. This recipe uses whole oats to create satisfying, healthy pancakes that are simple to prepare. Tariq guides you to the perfect texture every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender. Blend until you achieve a fine, flour-like consistency (this is key for fluffiness).
  2. Pour the oat flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients.
  3. In a separate cup, whisk together the milk, egg, and sweetener (if using).
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry oat mixture. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb liquid and thicken, improving texture.
  6. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  8. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  9. Flip carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest pancakes, make sure your oats are blended into a fine flour.
  • Do not skip the resting time; it hydrates the oats properly.
  • If you prefer a thinner batter, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Tariq recommends using whole milk for the best richness if you are not using a dairy substitute.
