Tool Requirements

You’ll need a few basic kitchen tools to whip up these tasty oatmeal pancakes. Grab a large mixing bowl to combine your dry and wet ingredients. A whisk or fork works well for stirring everything together smoothly.

A non-stick skillet or griddle is key for cooking your pancakes evenly. If you don’t have a non-stick pan, use a regular one with a bit of oil or butter.

Keep a spatula handy for flipping the pancakes when they’re ready. A 1/4 cup measure is perfect for scooping consistent amounts of batter onto the pan.

For serving, you’ll want a plate and maybe some syrup or toppings. That’s all you need! With these simple tools, you’ll be flipping delicious oatmeal pancakes in no time.

Preparing The Ingredients

Get your mixing bowl ready. You’ll need rolled oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and a dash of cinnamon. These dry ingredients form the base of your pancakes.

For the wet mix, grab plant-based milk, a mashed banana, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The banana acts as an egg replacement, adding moisture and binding the batter.

Measure everything out before you start. It makes the process smoother and helps avoid mistakes. Use measuring cups and spoons for accuracy.

Make sure your oats are gluten-free if you have sensitivities. Double-check labels to be safe.

Have a non-stick pan or griddle handy for cooking. You might also want some oil or cooking spray to grease the surface lightly.

Don’t forget toppings! Fresh fruits, nuts, or extra maple syrup can make your pancakes extra tasty. Set these aside so they’re ready when you need them.

Variations To Try

Want to mix up your oatmeal pancake routine?

• Try adding some fun mix-ins to the batter. Toss in a handful of blueberries or sliced strawberries for a fruity twist. Chocolate chips make for an indulgent breakfast treat.
• For a tropical flair, fold in some shredded coconut and diced pineapple. Nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans add a nice crunch. Spice things up with a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg.
• Get creative with your toppings too. Drizzle maple syrup or agave nectar for sweetness. Spread some almond butter for extra protein. Fresh fruit slices make a colorful and nutritious addition.
• Try different flours to change the texture and flavor. Swap out some of the oats for buckwheat or coconut flour. This can give your pancakes a unique taste and consistency.
• Play around with the liquid ingredients. Use mashed banana or applesauce instead of oil for moisture. Plant-based milk alternatives like almond or oat milk work great too.

These pancakes are versatile. Feel free to experiment and find your perfect combination. The possibilities are endless!

Storage Tips

Oatmeal pancakes can be kept fresh for a few days when stored properly.

• Put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. This will help them stay tasty for up to 3-4 days.
• If you want to keep them longer, freezing is a great option. Place wax paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. Then put them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay good for about 2 months.
• To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or microwave. For frozen pancakes, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating. This keeps them from getting soggy.
• These pancakes might dry out faster than regular ones. To keep them moist, wrap them in a damp paper towel when reheating in the microwave.
• Don’t leave the pancakes at room temperature for more than 2 hours. This helps avoid any food safety issues.
