Oat Blender Pancakes

We usually have blender pancakes for dinner on Sunday evenings. One night we were out of wheat berries so we did steel-cut oats instead, and it became a thing. These are super fast and healthy to boot. If you hope for a thick buttermilk pancake these are not for you...the structure is somewhere between a crepe and a regular pancake, and because they have no gluten, they are incredibly tender. Our kids love them, both with butter and syrup and with fruit puree.

yield: 12 pancakes

1.5   cups milk

1   cup steel cut oats

2   tbsp canola oil 

2   lg eggs

2   tbsp granulated sugar

1   tbsp baking powder

.5   tsp salt 

Blend steel cut oats and milk for a minute or so, or until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and pluse 5-10 times. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup portions onto a greased, hot griddle, and cook about 1 minute. Flip and cook 30 seconds. Serve immediately or keep in 200-degree oven loosely tented in foil.
