Directions

Soak the oats in 1 cup of buttermilk for at least 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
Make a well in the center and add in the egg, melted butter or grapeseed oil, brown sugar, remaining buttermilk, and the soaked oats. Mix well.
Warm a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a ¼ cup measure, spoon the batter onto the skillet. Do not crowd the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side. If not serving immediately, keep the pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven.

Chef Tips

If buttermilk is not on hand, measure out regular milk, then stir in a teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar to acidify it before adding the oats in step 1.

These pancakes freeze well, so pop any leftovers into a resealable freezer bag for another day.
