Course: Breakfast
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups of rolled oats
  • 1 cup of flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 egg
  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the pan

Method
 

  1. Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir thoroughly. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes until the oats absorb the liquid and the batter is thick.
  2. Heat a skillet or griddle to low-medium heat. Use butter or nonstick spray so help make flipping the pancakes easier.
  3. Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook the pancake for 3 minutes and then flip it, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. This batter will not produce the bubbles that traditionally indicate that a pancake should be flipped so pay attention to the time.
  4. Serve warm with butter and syrup, peanut butter, or any other traditional pancake toppings!
Alternative Idea:
  1. If you want to change things up, you can put a half cup of chocolate chips in the recipe without adjusting anything else. You can also add a half cup of frozen blueberries to the mix, but reduce the water to 1 ¾ cup to account for the extra liquid from the blueberries.
