Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Once the oats have softened, add the egg, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the oat mixture. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — the batter will be slightly thick.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or additional honey or maple syrup.
