Scrumptious Oatmeal Scotchie Pancakes: A Heavenly Breakfast Treat

Ingredients

• 1 cup of versatile all-purpose flour
• ½ cup of quick-cooking oats for added texture
• 2 tablespoons of rich brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder for that perfect rise
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda to balance the flavors
• A hint of ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ½ tablespoon of fine salt to enhance the taste
• 1 ¼ cups of creamy buttermilk for moisture
• ¼ cup of melted butter for a buttery touch
• 1 large egg to bind it all together
• A touch of ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness
• ⅓ cup of delicious butterscotch chips for a burst of flavor
• Don't forget a touch of cooking spray for easy release.

Step 1

Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a harmonious blend of dry ingredients.

Step 2

In another bowl, combine tangy buttermilk, melted butter, a beaten egg, and a hint of vanilla extract, blending them into a smooth, creamy mixture. Gently introduce this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a unified batter forms. Gently fold in delectable butterscotch chips and allow the batter to rest and meld for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Prepare a generously sized nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring it's well-greased with cooking spray. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the skillet, using the back of a spoon to spread it into a circular shape slightly over 1/4-inch thick. Let it cook until the edges are just set, usually taking about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until both sides are beautifully golden brown.
