Ingredients

  • 10 tablespoons quick-cooking oats (½ cup, plus 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk or plain kefir

Instructions

  • Preheat a griddle to medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flours, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, melted coconut oil, and buttermilk. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Drop by ¼ cup onto the hot griddle (if you want silver dollar pancakes, use 1-2 tablespoons). When the edges are firm and the bubbles start popping and forming holes, flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side. Serve immediately with your favorite pancake toppings like berries, apples, bananas, yogurt, buttermilk syrup, agave, maple syrup, peanut butter, Nutella, etc. Makes 8 pancakes.
