Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup (100g) rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts (optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined – do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Flip pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side (another 2-3 minutes). Repeat with remaining batter.
  7. Stack pancakes on plates and serve warm with toppings of your choice.
