Ingredients

1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 ¼ cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
¾ cup plain Greek yogurt full fat or 2%
2 tablespoons honey* or pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Stir together the oats and milk in a medium bowl. Stir. Set aside for 15 minutes to let the oats soak up some of the milk while you prepare the rest of the pancake ingredients.
Place the butter in a small bowl and melt in the microwave (or melt on the stove). Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, plain Greek yogurt, honey (or pure maple syrup) and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Then whisk in the melted butter. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the oat and milk mixture.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Use the rubber spatula to mix until just combined, being careful to not over-mix the batter.
Heat an electric griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat (325° F). Grease the griddle or skillet with cooking spray, if it requires greasing.
Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop scant ¼ cups of the pancake batter onto the griddle (the ¼ cup measuring cup should be about ¾ full). Let pancakes cook on the first side until bubbles form and the pancake bottoms are golden, 3-5 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook them on the second side until golden, about 2 minutes. Serve pancakes with maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

I've tested this recipe with both honey and pure maple syrup. I've found that honey makes the pancakes brown faster, so you have to watch them carefully so they don't burn. On my electric griddle set to 325° F, 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second was the perfect cook time for pancakes made with honey. The pancakes made with pure maple syrup took a few minutes longer to cook.
Oatmeal pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
