Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 6 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place rolled oats in a blender and pulse until they become a fine flour-like consistency.
- Add almond milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blended oats. Blend all ingredients until smooth and well combined, creating a homogeneous pancake batter.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb liquid and help bind the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of plant-based oil or cooking spray.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated surface. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Once cooled, place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag for long-term storage.
- To reheat, toast frozen pancakes directly in a toaster or warm in a microwave for 30-45 seconds.
Tips
- Blending Technique: Pulse the oats first to create a fine flour-like consistency for smoother pancakes.
- Resting Time Matters: Always let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow chia seeds to bind and thicken the mixture.
- Temperature Control: Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Freezing Hack: Allow pancakes to cool completely before freezing to prevent moisture buildup.
- Reheating Pro Tip: For the crispiest results, use a toaster to reheat frozen pancakes instead of a microwave.
- Customize Your Pancakes: Feel free to add extras like vanilla extract, mashed banana, or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for variety.
- Non-Stick is Key: Use a good non-stick pan or griddle to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
