These hearty pancakes are filled with oats, butterscotch chips, and warm spices, giving them a comforting and satisfying flavor. Serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream for a breakfast treat that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • Maple syrup and whipped cream, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  6. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a preheated oven.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more cooking spray or butter as needed.
  9. Serve the Oatmeal Scotchie Pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream. Enjoy!
