Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If you’re using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly.
- Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve your Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of yogurt.
These Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes are hearty, flavorful, and packed with the goodness of oats—making them a satisfying and sweet start to any day!
