Blender Oatmeal Pancakes
Blender oatmeal pancakes are a quick and healthy breakfast made by blending oats with simple pantry ingredients. They’re fluffy, delicious, and perfect for busy mornings. These pancakes are high in fiber, can be made gluten-free, and take just minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 ½ cups milk, either dairy or non-dairy
• 2 large eggs (or flax eggs)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2–3 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar)
• Pinch of salt
• Optional add-ins: banana, berries, chocolate chips, or nuts
Instructions
1. Add oats, milk, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
2. Let the batter stand for 5–10 minutes to help it thicken.
3. Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil or butter.
4. Add ¼ cup of batter to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, waiting for bubbles to form and the edges to firm up.
5. Flip and continue cooking for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
6. Cook the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan whenever it’s needed.
7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- To make vegan pancakes, use flax eggs along with plant-based milk.
- Mix only until smooth to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Resting the batter improves texture.
- Add a banana for natural sweetness and moisture.
- Freeze leftovers for quick breakfasts.
- Toast the pancakes briefly to create golden, crispy edges.
