Oatmeal pancakes are a hearty twist on the traditional pancake, incorporating the nutty flavor and texture of ground oats for a nutritious start to your day. Originating from the wholesome breakfast traditions of Northern Europe, oats have long been valued for their health benefits and comforting taste. This recipe enhances the classic pancake flavor with a hint of vanilla and a balance of sweetness, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults alike. The preparation is straightforward, making it suitable for cooks of all skill levels. Allowing the batter to rest for ten minutes helps the oats absorb the liquid, resulting in tender, moist pancakes with a lovely crumb. Cooking over medium-low heat ensures they cook through without burning, achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior. Paired with a drizzle of caramel and fresh strawberries, these pancakes elevate a simple breakfast into a delightful treat. They also pair well with a side of yogurt or a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Whether for a leisurely weekend brunch or a cozy weekday morning, these oatmeal pancakes bring warmth and comfort to your table.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium Egg
  • 80 ml Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 dash Vanilla Extract
  • 150 g Ground Oats
  • 150 g Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar Syrup
  • 3 Strawberries

Instructions

Begin by placing the egg, milk, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and ground oats into a large mixing glass. Beat the ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth and consistent batter. This step ensures the oats are well incorporated for a light texture. Next, allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period is key as it lets the oats soak up the moisture, resulting in pancakes that are tender and perfectly cooked from edge to center. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small knob of butter. Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle gently, pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan, spreading it slightly to form a round pancake. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface of the batter; once you notice them, carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cooking over medium-low heat is essential here to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook thoroughly. Continue cooking for another minute or two on the second side until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat this process with the remaining batter. Finally, serve your warm oatmeal pancakes topped with a drizzle of sugar syrup caramel and freshly sliced strawberries. For an extra touch, consider adding a dollop of cream or yogurt alongside.
