16 fl oz

 

Quick cooking rolled oats

1 cup(s)

1 Tbsp

 

Vanilla extract

1 tsp

Instructions

1. Combine buttermilk, oats, honey and extract in a large bowl; let stand 10 minutes.

3. Stir egg into oat mixture until well combined.

4. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in another bowl; stir flour mixture into oat mixture until just combined.

5. Scoop batter by 1/4-cup measure onto griddle to make a few pancakes at a time. Cook until bubbles cover pancake tops and edges are browned, 4-5 minutes; flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
