Breakfast
Healthy Cinnamon Oat Pancakes
This healthy pancake recipe is delicious–and it’s made without bananas! These healthy pancakes are made with oats which creates a soft, thick, hearty pancake that you’ll be thinking about long after breakfast is done.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 c oats
- 1 c oat milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (plus more for topping)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter (melted, plus more for greasing the skillet)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- 2/3 c + 2 tbsp whole wheat or all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pour the oats into a medium bowl and mix in the oat milk. Let sit for 15 minutes so the oats can soften.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil or butter, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Add this to the oats and stir until the batter is thoroughly incorporated.
- Next, add in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter in the pan, and then pour about 1/4 c pancake batter into the pan (I used a large cookie scoop).
- Cook for about 2 minutes on the first side, and then 1 minute on the second side, until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve with extra maple syrup!
