Instructions

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Let it cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl or measuring pitcher, mix the milk and eggs until combined.
Create a small dip or hollow in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour in the milk and egg mix.
Mix in the maple syrup, cooled melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Mix gently until no dry spots remain—small lumps are fine.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium. Pour in about 2 teaspoons of oil and tilt the pan to evenly coat the surface.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serve hot with butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

Use a 1/4 cup to portion batter evenly. While butter gives great flavor, it burns faster—oil is better for consistent results. Try making a test pancake first. Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven as you cook. Freeze leftovers and reheat in a toaster.
