Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes are fluffy, hearty, and slightly nutty, thanks to the addition of wholesome oats. These pancakes offer the perfect balance of tenderness and texture, making them a satisfying breakfast for any day of the week.
Combine the oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly blended.
Whisk together the egg, melted butter, and buttermilk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a greased cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Pour ⅓ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to set.
Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while cooking the rest of the batter. Grease the skillet as needed.
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
For extra flavor and texture, mix in chopped nuts or fresh berries before cooking.
If you like a sweeter pancake, increase the brown sugar to ½ cup, or serve with maple syrup.
Keep pancakes warm by placing them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (93°C) oven while finishing the batch.
To freeze leftovers, stack them with parchment paper in between and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave before serving.
