Eggless Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 and 1/4 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Maple syrup, fresh fruits, or toppings of your choice

Cooking Steps:

Step 1: In a blender or food processor, grind the old-fashioned oats until you achieve a coarse flour-like consistency.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5: Let the pancake batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the liquid.

Step 6: Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 7: Pour 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto the hot griddle, spreading them slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 8: Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 9: Repeat until all the batter is used, adjusting heat if needed.

Step 10: Serve the Eggless Oatmeal Pancakes warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or your favorite pancake toppings.
