I had a few tricks up my sleeve when creating this recipe, and they made all the difference. I have always been hesitant to use rolled oats in my pancakes because, more often than not, I end up with a under cooked center. These, however, are fluffy and not one bit soggy. So, what is my trick? Simple- I lightly toasted and blended them into a flour before adding them into the mixture! Total game changer! Lightly toasting the oats helps to keep the granules a bit more corse when making your own oat flour. This helps to mimic the consistency of all-purpose flour, and gives the pancakes their fluffy texture.
Now, the batter may appear slightly thicker in this recipe, you can totally add a bit more almond milk into the batter if you choose to do so. I prefer to keep the batter this way, because I simply spread it out once it is on the griddle, using a spatula and I get the perfect shape each time!
Serve these at your next brunch gathering and your guests will be as happy as can be! Hope you love these recipe as much as I do. Be sure to tag me on Facebook, and instagram if you make these using the hashtag #THDBrunch so that I can see your pictures!
