Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Oat Mixture:
- Combine quick-cooking oats and milk in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- After 5 minutes, add eggs and shortening to the oat mixture. Mix well to combine.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate small bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the prepared dry ingredient mixture to the oat mixture. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet mixture, creating a smooth batter.
-
Cook Pancakes:
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon to form circles.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear slightly dry, usually about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or whipped cream.
Tips and Variations:
- Toppings: Get creative with your pancake toppings! Try sliced bananas, berries, chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey.
- Texture: For a heartier texture, you can add additional oats to the batter or substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Flavor: Enhance the flavor of your pancakes by adding a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the pancake batter ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Simply give it a quick stir before cooking.
- Freezing: Cooked pancakes can be frozen for later enjoyment. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave until heated through.
