Before you start
These are the pancakes I make when I want oatmeal energy but pancake behavior. Resting the batter for ten minutes gives the oats time to soften.

Ingredient overview
Use old-fashioned rolled oats. Quick oats work but make a softer pancake.
Oats
Rolled oats give the best texture.

Rest the batter
Ten minutes changes the texture. The oats soften and the batter thickens enough to scoop cleanly.
Tips
- Keep the pan at medium heat.
- Flip once the edges look set.
- Thin with a tablespoon of milk if the batter gets stiff.
