Instructions

Preheat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and coat it well with cooking spray or oil. Allow it to get very hot before starting to cook the pancakes; this ensures a golden, even sear.
Blend the Batter: Add all the ingredients to a blender in the order listed—starting with oats and ending with vanilla extract. Blend on high until the oats are broken down and the batter is smooth and frothy.
Cook the Pancakes: Using a ladle or 1/4 cup (60 ml) measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook each pancake for about 1 minute until edges look dry and bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet between each batch as needed.
Serve: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve warm with your favourite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of nut butter.

Notes

Make sure the skillet is adequately heated before pouring the batter for best results.
You can adjust the almond milk quantity to achieve your desired batter thickness.
Use cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking during cooking.
These pancakes are best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.
Feel free to customize toppings to suit your taste preferences.
