Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (200 g) ground rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (240 g) milk of your choice
- 2 tbsp (40 g) peanut butter
- 2 tbsp (30 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Berries (for serving)
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the ground oats, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and flavor base.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk together the egg, milk, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook Pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with fresh berries to add natural sweetness and a fresh contrast.
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice – dairy or plant-based milk works well.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste or substitute with natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps prevent burning and ensures even cooking.
- The batter may thicken as it stands; add a tablespoon of milk if too thick before cooking.
