These quick and easy ultra-fluffy oat milk pancakes melt in your mouth, are perfectly sweet, and are 100% dairy-free. They taste better than buttermilk pancakes (trust me)!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the egg, then mix in the oat milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk gently until a batter is formed, some lumps are OK! Do not over-mix – it will make the pancakes tough. Add 1 – 3 Tablespoons more of oat milk if the batter is too thick.
Heat a large pan or pancake griddle to medium heat and add a little butter. Once melted, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Add mix-ins if desired by arranging blueberries, banana slices, or chocolate chips on top of each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes until little bubbles form on the tops of the pancakes, and the bottoms are golden brown. Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Serve with your favorite maple syrup and top with fresh berries/fruit. Enjoy!
Notes
* Not all oat milk brands are the same. I recommend a thicker one, like Oatly, Trader Joe's brand, or the Whole Foods brand. If using the Kirkland brand, only use 1 + 1/4 cup of oat milk.Flour: You can substitute with gluten-free all-purpose 1:1 baking flour if needed.Butter: You can use regular butter, vegan butter, or coconut oil.Storing: If you have leftovers, store the oat milk pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.Freezing: Let them cool to room temperature, then wrap them in plastic wrap and place them into a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze pancakes for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy them, place frozen pancakes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 30 – 60 seconds until warm. You can also reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5 – 10 minutes until warm.Reheating: For best results, reheat them in the microwave for 30 – 90 seconds until warm.
