Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (100 grams)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (8 ounces)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- Butter, for cooking
- Toppings – butter, berries, maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Make the oat flour. Add rolled oats to your blender and blend for 30-60 seconds until broken down into a fine flour-like consistency.
- Combine your dry ingredients. Add the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and mix well to combine.
- Make the batter. In a separate large bowl, add Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla bean paste, and whisk well to combine. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick. Let it rest for 3-5 minutes.
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat. Add butter and allow it to melt and warm up. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake to form equal-sized pancakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface and edges start to fluff. Flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Cook in batches if needed.
- Serve and enjoy. Top with your favorite toppings like butter, berries, or maple syrup and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Using rolled oats and blending them into oat flour keeps this recipe gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
- Do not overmix the batter to ensure fluffy pancakes.
- Adjust heat as needed to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
- Letting the batter rest helps the oats absorb moisture, resulting in better texture.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt provides richness and protein; you can substitute with low-fat but texture might be less creamy.
