Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 0 Cooking spray or extra butter for greasing

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble a coarse flour. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ground oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all the chai spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves).

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 5

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb some liquid. Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Lightly grease the griddle or skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 7

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 8

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 10

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, honey, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
