Fluffy Oat Pancakes with Berry Compote

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1.75 cups unsweetened plant-based milk
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups mixed berries
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. 2In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. 4Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
5. 5While the batter rests, prepare the berry compote: In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, lemon juice, and maple syrup.
6. 6Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Mash some berries with a spoon if desired.
7. 7Heat a lightly oiled non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
8. 8Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle.
9. 9Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface.
10. 10Serve pancakes warm, topped with the berry compote.
