Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats
- pinch of baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 Tbsp yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 tsp coconut oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- Grind the oats: Use a nut grinder or food processor to finely grind the oats into a flour-like texture, which will help create a smooth pancake batter.
- Mix yogurt and baking soda: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with the pinch of baking soda until the mixture becomes fluffy and bubbles start to appear. This process neutralizes the baking soda and helps the pancakes rise without bitterness.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the egg, vanilla extract, and honey into the yogurt-baking soda mixture to combine all wet ingredients well.
- Add oat flour and rest batter: Fold the ground oats into the wet mixture, stirring gently. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to soak and thicken. If the batter feels too thick or sticky to spoon, add a tablespoon or two of water or milk to loosen it.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick pan over low to medium heat and coat the surface with coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Using a large spoon or ladle, pour small amounts of batter onto the pan, spacing each pancake apart. When the edges look set and bubbles begin to form on the surface, carefully flip the pancakes to cook the other side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Serve immediately: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or syrup.
Notes
- The original recipe used 1 tsp of baking soda, which some found made the pancakes bitter. Adjust the amount to a pinch, or substitute with baking powder if preferred or if baking soda is unavailable.
- If you only have an immersion blender, you can blend the entire pancake mixture after adding the oats instead of grinding them separately.
