Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: blender, measuring cups, skillet or griddle, spatula, and cooking spray or butter.
- Add rolled oats, milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is smooth and completely combined, with no visible oat chunks.
- Let the blender batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb liquid and thicken slightly.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving space between them to prevent touching.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for small bubbles to form on the surface and edges to look slightly dry.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the second side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Optional: Serve with additional maple syrup, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, or a cream cheese glaze for a more decadent cinnamon roll experience.
Tips
- Blender Power: Ensure you blend the ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, lump-free batter. A full 45-60 seconds of blending is key to achieving the perfect pancake texture.
- Resting is Essential: Don't skip the 3-5 minute resting period for the batter. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Temperature Control: Medium heat is crucial. Too high, and you'll burn the pancakes; too low, and they'll be undercooked.
- Spatula Technique: Use a thin, flexible spatula for flipping to ensure clean, easy turns without tearing the pancakes.
- Batch Cooking: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while preparing the remaining batches.
- Creative Toppings: Experiment with cream cheese glaze, extra cinnamon, or even a drizzle of cream cheese icing to enhance the cinnamon roll experience.
- Make-Ahead Tip: The batter can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator, making morning preparation a breeze!
