Cinnamon Oat Pancakes

These pancakes swap regular flour for blended oats, giving you a heartier, more filling pancake with a subtle nutty flavor. The cinnamon comes through just right, and they have a wonderful golden color when cooked. Blend the oats into flour in your blender and the rest comes together just like any other pancake recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups rolled oats, blended into flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk of choice
  • 2 tbsp TN maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of Redmond Real Salt

*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.

Directions

  1. Blend the oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla.
  3. Add the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes.
  6. Serve stacked with maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For a fluffier pancake, separate the eggs. Mix the yolks into the batter, then gently stir in the whipped whites at the end.
  • Add mashed banana or a handful of dark chocolate chips to the batter for a fun variation.
