Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, egg, honey, baking powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until ingredients are well blended and create a smooth batter.
- Let the pancake batter rest for 5-7 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid and soften, which helps create a more tender pancake texture.
- While batter rests, prepare the peach compote. In a medium saucepan, combine sliced peaches and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until peaches break down and create a syrupy consistency, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto the heated surface. Cook each pancake until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook the opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and continue cooking remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes warm, topped generously with the fresh peach compote. Optional: Add a drizzle of extra honey or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon if desired.
Tips
- Let the Batter Rest: Allowing the pancake batter to rest for 5-7 minutes is crucial. This step helps the oats absorb the liquid, resulting in a softer and more tender pancake.
- Perfect Peach Compote: For the peach compote, use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, you can substitute with frozen peaches—just make sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before cooking.
- Non-Stick Cooking: When cooking the pancakes, ensure your skillet is well-greased with butter. This will not only prevent sticking but also give the pancakes a lovely golden-brown color.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on the pancakes as they cook. Flip them when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look dry—this is the perfect time for a flip!
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, drizzle the pancakes with honey or sprinkle a little cinnamon on top before serving. You can also add a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess.
- Batch Cooking: If you're cooking for a crowd, consider keeping the finished pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter.With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to making the perfect Oatmeal Pancakes with Peach Compote that everyone will love!
