Fluffy Blackberry Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• Rolled oats (1 cup)
• All-purpose flour (1 cup)
• Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Milk (1 cup)
• Egg (1, beaten)
• Honey (2 tablespoons)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh blackberries (1 cup, halved if large)
• Butter (for cooking)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, blend the rolled oats until they form a fine flour-like consistency. This will serve as your oat flour.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, taking care not to break them up too much.
6. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
7. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
10. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and extra blackberries, if desired.
