Oat Griddle Cakes Recipes

MOM'S OAT GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• Pour the milk over the oats and let stand 5 minutes.
• Stir the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.
• Add the beaten eggs to the oat and milk mixture. Add the melted butter.
• Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until moistened.
• You may keep this in the refrigerator for several days or make immediately.
• Fry on griddle until brown. These are thick and take a little longer to cook than regular pancakes.
• Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

OATMEAL GRIDDLE CAKES

Steps:

• 1 In the pitcher of a blender, combine the oats and milk or buttermilk
• 2 Blend on high until the oats appear finely ground and the milk thickens, about 1 minute
• 3 Add the flour, egg, honey or maple syrup, and baking powder and blend on high until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds
• 4 (Do not overmix, or the pancakes may be tough
• 5 ) Scrape the bottom and sides of the blender to ensure there are no unmixed pockets of batter
• 6 Place a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat, and add 1 to 3 tablespoons of ghee or oil, evenly spreading it across the bottom of the pan
• 7 As soon as it begins to smoke lightly, pour 3 to 4 small, roughly 3-inch-diameter puddles of batter into the pan
• 8 Lower the heat to medium and cook until the pancake edges look dry and the tops are pocked with bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes
• 9 Flip, and continue cooking until the pancakes bounce back when lightly poked in the center, another 2 to 3 minutes
• 10 Repeat with the additional fat and the remaining batter
• 11 Serve the pancakes hot, with butter, syrup or honey, and/or fresh or cooked fruit
• 12 NOTES: To make this recipe vegan, omit the egg and milk
• 13 Use 3/4 cup light coconut milk, from a can, plus 2 teaspoons white or cider vinegar
• 14 If using quick-cooking or one-minute rolled oats, as recommended, you have the option of stirring the batter together in a bowl, but the pancakes will be chewier
• 15 The quick-cooking oats ensure the pancake's interiors will cook quickly and be tender
• 16 If using old-fashioned rolled oats, you must use a blender to mix the oats and milk very well before adding the other ingredients

OATMEAL GRIDDLE CAKES WITH PECAN-MAPLE SYRUP

• In a frying pan over med-high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter.
• Ladle the batter, about 1/4 cup at a time, spaced well apart, into the pan.
• Cook until the tops are bubbly and the bottoms are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Turn and cook until golden brown on the second side, about 3 minutes longer.
• Transfer the pancakes to a plate; keep warm.
