Notes

  • Easily cut this recipe in half for a smaller batch. 
  • This easy oatmeal pancake recipe uses rolled oats (also called old fashioned oats), not instant.
  • These Swedish pancakes with buttermilk are special particularly for the use of buttermilk.  If you don't have buttermilk on hand, see the next step for a shortcut. 
  • If you don't keep buttermilk on hand, here's an easy trick.  Add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to each cup of regular milk, and let it set for 5 minutes.  It will thicken into buttermilk for your oatmeal pancake recipe.
  • These are not perfectly round pancakes; they will look a bit strange while cooking but don't worry about it!
  • While butter and syrup may be the traditional topping, we like to add a layer of peanut butter on the bottom pancake, top with another pancake then add syrup.
  • Try our prep ahead oatmeal pancake batter.
