Pour milk over oats and allow to sit for about 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
Add sifted dry ingredients to the oat mixture and stir until well combined.
Stir in eggs, oil and vanilla extract until completely combined.
For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto a hot griddle that has been greased with butter or sprayed with cooking spray. Cook until pancakes are puffed and golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Notes
For purposes of calculating nutrition information, I used 2% milk. Nutrition facts will change slightly if you use nonfat milk, almond milk, or other milk of choice.COOK'S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS:
If you prefer vegan Oatmeal Pancakes, substitute a non-dairy milk alternative (such as almond milk) for the regular milk. Wondering how to make Oatmeal Pancakes without eggs? Try using flax eggs!
Love Banana Oatmeal Pancakes? Top your pancakes with sliced banana, or add a ripe, mashed banana to your batter in lieu of the oil.
Have some buttermilk to use up? You can make Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes by replacing the regular milk with an equal amount of buttermilk.
Prep ahead! Cook the pancakes as instructed, allow to cool completely, and then wrap each individual pancake tightly with plastic wrap. The pancakes will keep in the refrigerator for at least 5 days, or in the freezer for at least 1-2 months. You can thaw or reheat one pancake (or more) at a time in the microwave, as needed.
What to serve with Oatmeal Pancakes:
Top your pancakes with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup!
Add some fruit on the side or on top, too. Try sliced bananas or fresh berries with your breakfast.
For extra protein, round out your plate with scrambled eggs or sausage.
