Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour (170 g)
  • 3/4 cup whole or fine-cut oats (75 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups buttermilk (room temperature) (375-500 ml)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature), beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled (55 g)
  • Butter for the pan

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth, then add 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) of buttermilk and whisk together until fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, then add the melted butter. Stir gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. If the batter seems too thick, gradually add more buttermilk, stirring until the consistency is pourable but not runny.
  5. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter and let it melt to coat the surface. Use a ladle or measuring cup to scoop about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For waffles, add 1 extra egg and 1 tablespoon of oil to the batter.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the oats in a blender before adding them to the batter.
  • These pancakes also make a great cold snack. Just store them in the fridge and enjoy them later as a quick, wholesome bite.
