- Use different types of milk, such as almond milk or soy milk.
- Add vanilla extract for a sweeter taste.
- Substitute the oat flour with any other flour you prefer.
Substitutions
If you don’t have all the ingredients on hand, here are some substitutions you can make:
- Instead of rolled oats, use quick oats or instant oats.
- Instead of oat flour, use any other flour you have on hand.
- Instead of milk, use water or any non-dairy milk.
- If you’re vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
Storage
These pancakes are best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
Tips
- Make sure your pan or griddle is heated to the right temperature before adding the batter. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn. If it’s not hot enough, they won’t cook properly.
- Use a measuring cup to scoop the batter onto the pan for evenly sized pancakes.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Mix until just combined for fluffy pancakes.
Notes
If you’re using rolled oats for recipe 1, make sure to grind them into a fine powder for the best texture.
