Ingredients

Method

1. 1. Blend: Combine all ingredients in a blender. Pulse until the batter is smooth and creamy.
2. 2. Rest: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to hydrate, ensuring a better rise.
3. 3. Heat: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
4. 4. Cook: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip.
5. 5. Serve: Golden brown on both sides. Serve warm with fresh berries.
