Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 cup rolled oats until finely ground. In a large bowl, whisk the ground oats with 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat mixture and stir gently until just combined; let batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 1/2 cups blueberries and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the compote thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Step 5: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Step 6: Serve pancakes stacked with warm blueberry compote spooned over the top and maple syrup if desired.
