Recipe by Lisa Turner Published on June 6, 2009 Simple and naturally sweet, small fluffy oat pancakes with a hint of vanilla Print this recipe Ingredients: 2/3 cup rolled or steel-cut oats 1/3 cup plain whole fat yogurt 2/3 cup whole milk 4 eggs 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/3 cups unbleached white flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon sea salt Instructions: Stir together the oats and yogurt in a medium glass or ceramic mixing bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and let rest overnight at room temperature. The next morning, beat the milk, eggs and vanilla extract into the oats. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Pour the oat mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Heat a few teaspoons of oil in a non-stick or cast-iron frying pan over medium heat. When hot, drop 1/8 cup portions of the batter into the pan. Cook for roughly 5 minutes or until the edges are separated from the pan. Flip the pancakes and cook for another few minutes, or until both sides are golden brown. Drain on sheets of paper towel. Serve hot or warm, dressed with whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or any combination of the above. Makes 16 small pancakes
