Fast forward a couple of decades, and I find myself experimenting with flavors.
One morning, I woke up with a craving for pancakes, but I wanted something hearty that would sustain me throughout the day. Thus, the raspberry oatmeal pancake recipe was born.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently smashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cups milk whole or non-fat
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups plain all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely ground sea salt
  • Pure maple syrup, for drizzling at serving time

Method
 

  1. Making pancakes is a straightforward task, but I will guide you through each step to ensure you reach pancake perfection. Ready? Let’s go!
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measure them out and set them aside. It might feel a bit tedious, but having everything organized will make the process smoother and enjoyable.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. These dry ingredients will form the base of your pancake batter.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until well-blended. The key here is to make sure the butter doesn’t solidify as it mixes with cold ingredients. You don’t want any lumps!
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
  1. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing will give you dense pancakes.
Step 5: Add Raspberries
  1. Carefully fold in the smashed raspberries. This is where the magic happens. The vibrant pink streaks and juicy pockets will elevate your pancakes.
Step 6: Heat the Pan
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil. When the pan is hot enough, you can test it by flicking a drop of water on the surface. If it sizzles, it’s ready!
Step 7: Cook Your Pancakes
  1. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, usually around 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until it’s golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 8: Serve Warm
  1. Once cooked, stack them high on a plate. Drizzle generously with pure maple syrup and maybe even a few extra raspberries for that wow factor.

Notes

Here are some tried-and-true tips to ensure your pancakes come out perfectly every time:
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh raspberries make a noticeable difference in taste.
  • Let Batter Rest: Allowing your batter to sit for a few minutes can help achieve fluffier pancakes.
  • Cook on Medium Heat: Too high, and your pancakes burn on the outside while remaining raw inside.
  • Use a Measuring Cup: For consistent pancake sizes, use a measuring cup to pour your batter.
Don't Overmix: Lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes instead of fluffy ones.
