Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons salted vegan butter or any butter of choice, separated (I used Earth Balance)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons whole grain cornmeal
- 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a small custard cup, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds. Microwave settings may vary, keep a close eye to not burn the butter. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, wheat flour, oats, sugar, salt and baking powder. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in melted butter. Add buttermilk, egg, oil and vanilla. Give a gentle whisk just enough to break up the yolk of the egg. Fold batter until there are no visible dry pockets of flour. Note: avoid over mixing as this can toughen the batter. A few lumps may remain from the oats.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, evenly melt 1/2 tablespoon butter to coat the entire bottom of the pan. Gently pour about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter into the center of the pan to form a uniform 4-inch circle of batter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Once the bubbles on the top of the batter begin to cease, use a wide spatula to carefully raise one side of the pancake to check readiness. If the bottom of the pancake is lightly browned and can visibly see a brown ring formed around the edge of the pancake, decrease heat to medium-low and flip. Cook the bottom side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pancake from pan and onto a plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all batter is cooked. Serve warm with syrup of choice. ENJOY!
