Preparation
- Step 1
Combine the milk and rolled oats in a bowl, and set aside.
- Step 2
Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
- Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the buttermilk and whisk together. Then whisk in the vanilla extract and the oil.
- Step 4
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and quickly whisk together. Do not overbeat; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the oats and milk. Let sit for one hour, or refrigerate overnight.
- Step 5
If necessary, spray the hot griddle with pan spray. Drop by 3 to 4 tablespoons onto the hot griddle. Place six or seven blueberries on each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to break through, two to three minutes. Turn and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute on the other side, or until nicely browned. Remove from the heat, and continue until all of the batter is used up.
- Step 6
Serve hot with a small amount of butter and maple syrup.
- Advance preparation: You can keep these, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for a few days, or freeze for up to a few months.Martha Rose Shulman can be reached at martha-rose-shulman.com.

I added a heaping teaspoonful of sourdough starter (@100%hydration) to the oatmeal/milk mixture. It worked well - after the batter sat for an hour, there were tons of bubbles and the pancakes came out fluffy, light and with just a hint of sourdough tang. Also added cinnamon and a pinch of ground cardamom.
These were awesome. Everyone loved them. You can soak the oats in the water for a while while you are preparing the other ingredients and you'll get the same effect as leaving them in the batter for an hour or overnight. Fantastic pancakes!
These are wonderful pancakes...freeze and cook like a dream. Whole grains, blueberries, for a healthy breakfast. Make the batter the night before so that the grains are softened.
In place of buttermilk use not more than 1 cup of this mixture, leaving time for the oat milk to curdle before adding to other ingredients. 1) Pour one cup of oat milk into a measuring cup or bowl. 2) Add one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to the oat milk. 3) Stir the mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oat milk to curdle and thicken slightly. Use as a 1:1 substitute
To make oat milk substitute: Pour one cup of oat milk into a measuring cup or bowl. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to the oat milk. Stir the mixture and LET IT SIT for 5-10 minutes to allow the oat milk to curdle and thicken slightly. Use as a 1:1 substitute
For any GF folks: I added 1/3 c Greek yogurt and made with GF bread flour and GF oat flour since we’re GF. And they are perfection.
