Oatmeal Griddle Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle

Before you cook

• Stir the oats and buttermilk together in a large bowl and let them soak for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together in a second bowl.
• Beat the eggs and melted butter into the softened oats.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the oat mixture until just moistened.

Steps

1. Heat a griddle over medium heat and butter it.
2. Spoon 1/3 cup of the thick batter onto the griddle and flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon.
3. Cook until the underside is well browned and the edges look dry, about three minutes.
4. Flip the pancakes and press them once with the spatula.
5. Cook for two more minutes, until the center no longer feels wet.
6. Serve the pancakes with butter, brown sugar and a pour of maple syrup.
