Ingredients
rolled oats
1 1/2 cups (ground to flour)
salt
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
egg
1 (lightly beaten)
nonfat milk
1 cup
vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Begin by adding rolled oats to a blender or food processor. Blend for about one minute, or until the oats achieve a flour-like consistency.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground oat flour with salt, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten egg, nonfat milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4
Gradually pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
5
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
6
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the surface.
7
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip them over and cook until the other side is lightly browned, about an additional 1-2 minutes.
8
Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
