Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (1 cup old-fashioned oats blended)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk (if needed) regular, almond, coconut, etc.

For Cooking

  • Salted butter or coconut oil (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Griddle: Preheat an electric griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius) to ensure even cooking of pancakes.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sugar, oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended.
  4. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring to combine. If the batter feels too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter reaches the desired consistency — thicker batter results in fluffier pancakes.
  5. Grease Cooking Surface: Grease the griddle or skillet by melting salted butter or coconut oil and spreading it to coat the surface evenly.
  6. Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup portions of pancake batter onto the greased and preheated griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges set, approximately 2-4 minutes.
  7. Flip Pancakes: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2-4 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately while warm with your favorite pancake toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nuts.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free all-purpose flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Swap granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a refined-sugar-free option.
  • If the batter is too thick, adjust with plant-based milk for preferred consistency.
  • Preheating the griddle properly ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
  • Do not overcrowd the griddle; cook pancakes in batches if necessary.
