Ingredients
Please note that below is a guide for some of the ingredients we used in the recipe. The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.

Instructions
This recipe makes about 10 to 12 pancakes with oat milk.
Step One: Place the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Combine.
Step Two: Make a well in the center of the combined dry ingredients and add the oat milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well until there are no lumps. It can help to use a whisk.

Step Three: Grease a pan and heat on medium heat. Scoop out the batter and place in the heated pan. I like to use a ¼ cup (50 grams, 1.76 ounces) of batter for each pancake.
Cook the batter until you begin to see bubbles form on the top. This may take about 2 to 3 minutes.

When you see bubbles, flip the pancake and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown. Remove from heat. Repeat for remaining batter. Serve.
