Oatmeal Pancakes - Celebrating Sweets (2024)

These Oatmeal Pancakes are loaded with whole grains and they bake up fluffy and soft. A delicious and hearty way to start your day!

My favorite way to consume oats? In pancake form! Stacked high, slathered with salted butter, and dripping with syrup. Best. Breakfast. Ever.

We’re talking about whole grain oatmeal goodness meets fluffy and tender pancakes. A nutritious breakfast that will stick with you until lunch time.

Recipe overview: Oatmeal Pancakes

Here’s what makes these pancakes the best:

• Oats: Oats make these pancakes hearty and filling. Although you might think the oats would make these pancakes dense, they are surprisingly fluffy and tender.
• Buttermilk: Buttermilk softens and tenderizes the oats and it makes the pancakes moist.
• Flour: Oats are our primary dry ingredient, but there is all purpose flour in here, too. The flour helps hold everything together and it lightens the heaviness from the oats.
• Butter: Melted butter in the batter and plenty of melted butter for greasing your griddle.

Recipe tips:

• Allow yourself enough time. The oats and buttermilk need to soak for 15 minutes before proceeding with the pancake batter.
• Don’t have buttermilk? In a pinch you can use one of my Buttermilk Substitutes, but I recommend using actual buttermilk if you can. If you use a substitute (or regular milk) you might need to add a couple extra tablespoons of flour since the liquid will likely be a bit thinner than buttermilk.
• Grease your griddle liberally (butter is best)! This helps to give the pancakes a golden color and slightly crisp edges.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the microwave as needed.
• Leftover oats? Make a batch of Breakfast Bars.

Oatmeal Pancake Flavors:

This recipe is a blank canvas that you can play around with. Here are several other flavors to try:
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes: Drop a few blueberries onto the pancake batter as you place it on the griddle.
Banana Oatmeal Pancakes: Stir ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter and serve the pancakes with sliced bananas.
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes: Stir ⅓ cup chocolate chips into the batter.
Oatmeal Raisin Pancakes: Add ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ cup chopped walnuts, and ¼ cup raisins to the batter.
Berry Oatmeal Pancakes: Top the pancakes with fresh berries and berry preserves (heat it and use it in place of syrup) and fresh berries.
