Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups whole milk; 2 cups rolled oats; 2 eggs; 1/4 cup walnut oil; 1/2 cup oat flour; 1/2 cup whole wheat flour; 2 tablespoons maple syrup; 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla; 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

Servings: persons

2 cups whole milk
2 cups rolled oats
2 eggs
1/4 cup walnut oil
1/2 cup oat flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch nutmeg (optional)

1
Pour milk over oats and let stand 8-10 minutes. (skip if using quick oats).
2
Beat in eggs, oil, then remaining ingredients except baking powder.
3
Add baking powder and only stir until incorporated.
4
Wait until it looks a bit puffy (this will make the cakes a tad fluffier but sometimes I don't bother and they're good, too).
5
Warm up griddle on medium low (these pancakes take a bit longer to cook than typical pancakes and my first several batches were dark brown because my old stove was hard to control).
6
Add a bit of butter to melt in the griddle.
7
Cook em up!
8
I use a 1/4 cup measure.
9
For the toddlers I let them dip in baby yogurt or applesauce.
10
I send leftovers in my preschoolers Laptop Lunchbox with PB&J!

Variations & substitutions

Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
