Easy Oatmeal Pancakes

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 39 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup milk, regular or non-dairy

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for cooking

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Whisk 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup milk together in a large bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes for the oats to soften. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and set it aside to cool.

Step 2

Add the butter, 2 eggs, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar to the oats, and whisk to combine. Add 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired, and whisk until just combined; do not overmix. Let stand for 5 minutes more. Meanwhile, heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add 1 teaspoon butter to the pan and swirl to coat. Drop the batter into the pan in 2-tablespoon portions, cooking 3 at a time. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, the edges begin to look dry, and the bottoms are golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden-brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Step 4

Transfer the pancakes to a warm oven or plate. Repeat cooking the remaining batter, using 1 teaspoon butter for each batch.
