Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Make sure everything is well combined to ensure an even texture in your pancakes.
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated. This blend creates the wet base for your batter.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Let the pancake mixture sit for at least 20 minutes. This resting period allows the oats to absorb some of the moisture and helps create a better texture in your pancakes.
- If you wish, cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 hours before cooking. This can enhance the flavor and make your pancakes even better.
- When you’re ready to cook, heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Ensure the surface is hot enough to cook the pancakes without burning them. You may want to coat it lightly with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
- Drop about a 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet. You should see some bubbles forming on the surface within 1 to 2 minutes, indicating it’s time to flip.
- Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook them until they’re browned on the underside, which should take another 1 to 2 minutes. Look for a golden-brown color to signal they’re ready.
- Continue making pancakes until all the batter is gone. You can keep the finished pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
- Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, like fresh fruit or maple syrup. Enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes!
- Note: These pancakes freeze well! Let them cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag. When you're ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave or toaster.
