Instructions
- Soak the oats: In a bowl, combine oats and milk. Let them sit for 10–15 minutes to soften.
- Mix the batter: Add eggs, flour, baking powder, cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined. If you’re adding herbs or veggies, fold them in now.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small scoops of batter into the pan. Flatten slightly and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot: Top with a dollop of sour cream, a fried egg, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
What You Can Try: Creative Add-ins & Serving Ideas
- Herbed Upgrade: Add fresh dill, thyme, or parsley to the batter.
- Veggie Boost: Mix in grated carrots, spinach, or scallions for more nutrition and color.
- Cheese Variations: Try blue cheese for bold flavor, or mozzarella for a melty, stringy texture.
- Serve with:
- Poached egg and avocado
- Greek yogurt and sautéed mushrooms
- A crisp salad on the side
