Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 3/4 cup milk + 2 tablespoons white vinegar)
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup quick oats (old fashioned oats can also be used)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fresh berries (any combination of blueberries, sliced strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries, plus more for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
  • maple syrup (for serving)

Instruction

  • If you don't have buttermilk, mix the milk and vinegar in a measuring cup and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Mix the whole wheat flour (1/2 cup), oats (1/2 cup), baking powder (1 teaspoon), baking soda (1/2 teaspoon), kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon), and brown sugar (2 tablespoons) in a medium bowl.
  • Mix the buttermilk (or milk and vinegar mixture) with the egg and beat well.
  • Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overwork the batter!).
  • Fold 1 cup of berries into the batter gently.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet or other heavy skillet / griddle and cook pancakes in melted butter in 1/3 cup amounts over medium heat. Flip when slightly browned around edges and bubbles form at the top.
  • Serve with extra berries and drizzle with maple syrup.
