Simple Cooking Tips
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can make the batter too mushy.
Make sure your griddle or pan is well-heated but not too hot to avoid burning the pancakes.
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips to prevent them from melting too much into the batter.

Why You'll Want This Again
These pancakes are a delicious twist on a classic breakfast favorite. The oats add a hearty texture while the butterscotch chips bring a sweet, buttery flavor that melts perfectly in every bite. They are both comforting and satisfying, making them a great choice for any morning.
Step 1
In a big bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything is combined—don’t overmix. Gently fold in the butterscotch chips and let the batter sit for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet, then gently spread it out with the back of a spoon to form a pancake a little over 1/4 inch thick. Cook until the edges start to look set and bubbles form on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another minute or two, until golden and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Tips
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries pairs nicely and adds a refreshing contrast. A dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts can also elevate the dish.
Reheating And Storage
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a toaster or warm them in a skillet over low heat to keep them soft and delicious. For longer storage, freeze them with parchment paper between each pancake and reheat directly from frozen.
