Why This Recipe Works
Cooking Hints
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to allow the oats to soften.
Step 1
Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a big bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just combined—you don’t want to overmix. Fold in the butterscotch chips, then 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 and use the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle a little over a quarter-inch thick. Cook until the edges look set and the bottom is golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute or two until the other side is nicely browned.
Step 3
Serve warm and enjoy!
