Notes
- Here are some helpful notes for preparing delicious Oatmeal Pancakes:
Oat Options: Use rolled oats for a hearty texture or quick oats for a smoother batter. Avoid instant oats, as they may turn mushy.
Blending: Blend the oats into a fine flour for a smoother pancake or leave them whole for added texture.
Milk Alternatives: Any milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk, can be used for a dairy-free option.
Sweetening: These pancakes are naturally wholesome, but you can add a bit of honey, maple syrup, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
Add-Ins: Enhance the batter with ingredients like mashed banana, blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts for variety.
Cooking Tips: Preheat a non-stick pan and cook on medium heat. Flip when bubbles form and the edges set.
Serving Suggestions: Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey for a nourishing breakfast.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer. Reheat in a skillet or toaster for the best results.
