How to make fluffy Oatmeal Pancakes?
- Prepare the batter: In one bowl, combine all the wet ingredients and the lemon zest. In another, combine all the dry ingredients. Then, add in the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix until smooth.
- Adjust the consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time.
- Cook in the griddle: Preheat the griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or heat a non-stick skillet on the stove. Put the butter to melt. Add portions of the batter and add fruits to each one. When bubbling starts, flip and cook the other side.
- Serve: Serve warm with your desired sauce and toppings.
The key to making them fluffy is keeping them thick as you cook them in the pan and not leaving out the baking powder and baking soda.
The baking soda produces carbon dioxide bubbles quickly upon contact with acid. In addition, the baking powder itself performs the same when it interacts with moisture and during cooking.
These ingredients add volume to the batter without using any yeast.
What to serve with Oatmeal Pancakes?
It is a versatile dish and you can serve it with any of the following:
- fresh fruits like blueberries, banana, and strawberries
- sauces like caramel, chocolate, or strawberry
- maple syrup or honey
- butter

Recipe Tips
- You can always add in any desired fruit like banana or seeds like chia. These not only add texture and flavors, but also nutritional value.
- Make sure to pour the batter on the griddle as thickly as possible so it becomes soft and fluffy when it cooks instead of thin and crusty.
- You can prepare the batter in a blender so that it is easier to mix and remove lumps. And you can use the spout to pour directly into the griddle.
