Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg

Instructions
Instructions
- Stir the rolled oats and buttermilk together in a bowl and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the egg, melted butter, and maple syrup into the softened oat mixture.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a second bowl, then fold the dry ingredients into the oat mixture just until no dry streaks remain.
- Heat a lightly buttered skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until the second side is golden and the centers are cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and berries.
Notes
Resting the oats in buttermilk softens them and gives the pancakes a tender, gently chewy texture.
