Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat griddle over medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the griddle.
- Combine all-purpose flour, oats, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Add skim milk, egg substitute, and vegetable oil; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For lighter pancakes, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, which adds fiber and nutrients. If you prefer a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead. For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of stevia or a mashed banana to the batter. Ensure the griddle is adequately heated for perfectly cooked pancakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve oat pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added protein. They pair beautifully with Metro'S Blueberry Treat as a refreshing side. For a heartier breakfast, consider adding scrambled eggs or turkey sausage. Drizzle with a sugar-free syrup or honey for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave for about 20-30 seconds until warmed through. For a crispier texture, reheat them on a hot griddle for a minute on each side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before cooking. Alternatively, you can cook the pancakes and freeze them, then reheat as needed for a quick breakfast.
What can I use instead of egg substitute?
You can replace the egg substitute with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana for a vegan option. These alternatives will help bind the ingredients while adding a hint of natural sweetness to the pancakes.
How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?
Pancakes are ready to flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Cooking until golden brown on both sides will ensure they are cooked through and have a nice texture.
