Cinnamon Oat Pancake

A Cinnamon Oat Pancake is a delicious and healthy variation of the traditional pancake, made by incorporating oats and cinnamon into the batter. These pancakes are full of flavor and texture, making them a nutritious breakfast option. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats (you can blend them into oat flour for a smoother texture)
• 1 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative like almond milk)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oats:
   • If using rolled oats, place them in a blender or food processor and pulse until they become a fine flour. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can leave them as they are.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry:
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
   • Serve your cinnamon oat pancakes with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
