Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats (224 gms)
1 tablespoon sugar white, brown or coconut sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs large
1 ¾ cups buttermilk divided
2 tablespoons melted butter (28 gms) more to make pancakes

Instructions

Grind dry ingredients. Add the rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a food processor or high-powered blender. Blend until the oats turn into a very fine flour with no large pieces remaining.
👉 The finer the oat flour, the fluffier your pancakes will be. If it's too coarse, the pancakes can turn out grainy and crumbly.
Mix wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1¼ cups buttermilk, and melted butter until well combined. Add the ground oat flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
The batter should be thick but still easy to pour. If it feels too thick, add an extra 2 to 4 tablespoons of buttermilk until you reach the right consistency.
Make pancakes. Place a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until cooked through.
👉 For the fluffiest pancakes with the best rise, cook them over medium to medium-high heat. If the heat is too low, the pancakes may spread and turn out flatter instead of thick and fluffy.
Finish pancakes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Since oat flour naturally absorbs liquid over time, the batter will continue to thicken as it sits. Before cooking each new batch, stir in a small splash of buttermilk to loosen it back to a smooth, pourable consistency.
