Why This Recipe Is So Popular
These pancakes are fluffy and light, making them perfect for a cozy breakfast. They come together quickly with simple ingredients you probably have on hand. Plus, they can be easily customized with your favorite add-ins.
Directions
Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. In a big bowl, combine the quick cooking oats, both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, dry milk powder, salt, cinnamon, and cream of tartar. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and eggs. Gradually add this to the dry ingredients, alternating with water, and stir everything until you get a smooth batter. Scoop about a quarter cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

How To Serve This Dish
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup for a classic touch. Fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a drizzle of honey also add delicious flavors. For a savory twist, try topping with bacon or scrambled eggs.
Food Storage Tips
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, use a toaster or warm them in a pan over low heat to keep them soft. For longer storage, freeze pancakes with parchment paper between each layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular oats instead of quick cooking oats?
Yes, but regular oats may make the texture a bit coarser and take longer to cook.
What can I substitute for dry non-fat milk powder?
You can use regular milk or a non-dairy milk alternative, but reduce the water slightly to keep the batter consistency.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
Flip them when you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before cooking.
Is it necessary to use both all-purpose and whole wheat flour?
Using both adds texture and nutrition, but you can use just one type if preferred.
Can I add mix-ins like blueberries or chocolate chips?
Yes, fold them gently into the batter before cooking for extra flavor.
What is the purpose of cream of tartar in this recipe?
It helps to activate the baking powder, making the pancakes fluffier.
How do I keep the pancakes warm if cooking in batches?
Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a low oven (around 200°F) until ready to serve.
