These pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic oatmeal pancakes, offering a fluffy texture and a wholesome flavor.
Combine the oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Whisking the dry ingredients ensures even distribution of the leavening agents.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make sure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Overmixing can result in dense pancakes, so mix until you no longer see dry flour.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
Wait for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping the pancakes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown. Remove from the griddle and keep warm.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
Serve the pancakes warm with fresh berries on top.
Add a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
