Instructions

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly mixed.
Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the dry mixture's center and pour in the oat milk, extra virgin olive oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Heat Griddle: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat on a griddle or large skillet, ensuring the surface is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Cook Pancakes: Using a pancake batter dispenser or a ladle, pour the batter onto the hot griddle to form individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface (around 2 minutes), then carefully flip with a spatula.
Finish Cooking: Cook the other side for about 90 seconds or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with maple syrup, yogurt, or fresh fruit as desired.

Notes

Using oat milk makes these pancakes dairy-free and adds a subtle, natural sweetness.
Extra virgin olive oil provides a fruity flavor and is a healthy fat alternative to butter or vegetable oil.
For fluffier pancakes, avoid over-mixing the batter; mix just until combined.
Adjust sugar quantity based on sweetness preference, or use coconut sugar for a natural alternative.
Ensure the griddle is properly heated but not too hot to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through.
