Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons canola oil (or melted, cooled unsalted butter or melted, cooled coconut oil)
3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup nonfat milk
2 cups old-fashioned oats (, divided (or quick oats; do not use steel cut or instant))
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup mix-ins of choice: toasted chopped nuts (, chocolate chips, blueberries, or diced fresh or dried fruit (optional))
For serving: pure maple syrup (, butter, or any of your favorite pancake toppings)

Steps:

  • If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Place the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, 1 1/4 cups oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a blender.
  • Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Continue blending until you don't see any remaining bits of oats.
  • Stop the blender, stirring the remaining 3/4 cup oats and any desired mix-ins. Do not blend again. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet/griddle and prep any toppings.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan if needed (some nonstick pans do not need this).
  • Once the skillet is hot, drop the batter by 1/4 cupful into the pan. Let cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the pancakes look dry at the edges and small bubbles form on top.
  • Gently flip, then cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should look golden on both sides. If desired, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven between batches. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve hot with desired toppings.

1 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
