Oatmeal Blender Pancakes
Whip up these healthy oatmeal blender pancakes in minutes! Made with simple ingredients, they’re fluffy, delicious, and perfect for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray or butter for griddle
Instructions
- Start by adding the rolled oats to your blender and pulse for about 30 seconds until they become a fine flour – you’ll know it’s ready when you don’t see any whole oat flakes anymore.
- Add all your wet ingredients to the blender: milk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Then add your baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Blend everything together for about 45-60 seconds until the batter is completely smooth. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides once. The batter should be fairly thin and pourable – about the consistency of heavy cream. Let it rest for 5 minutes while your pan heats up.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or butter, wiping off any excess with a paper towel.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. You’ll know it’s time to flip when bubbles form across the surface and the edges start to look dry and set – this usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. The second side always cooks faster than the first, so keep an eye on it. The pancake should feel springy when you lightly press the center.
- If you’re making multiple batches, give the batter a quick stir before pouring each round – it tends to thicken as it sits. You can thin it out with a splash of milk if needed.
