Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and any lumps are broken up.
- In a separate medium bowl, pour the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredient mixture and gradually pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. Some small lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour and oats to absorb the liquid and helps create a more tender pancake.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or additional vegetable oil.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of additional brown sugar.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes, so embrace those small lumps for a fluffier texture.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This helps the flour and oats absorb the liquid, resulting in tender pancakes.
- Perfect Heat: Make sure your griddle or skillet is preheated to medium heat. If it's too hot, the pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw inside.
- Grease Wisely: Use a small amount of butter or vegetable oil to lightly grease the cooking surface. This will help achieve that perfect golden-brown color without making them greasy.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook each pancake, transfer them to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel. This keeps them warm and ready to serve all at once.
- Topping Options: Get creative with your toppings! Try adding fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent treat.
