Description

Velvety oat flour pancakes topped with fresh strawberry sauce and tangy Greek yogurt, creating a luxurious breakfast with layers of flavor and texture. Perfect for cozy weeknights or elegant brunches.


Ingredients

Large eggs – 2
Greek yogurt – ½ cup (non-fat or full-fat)
Milk of choice – ½ cup, plus more as needed
Salted butter – 2 tbsp, melted and cooled
Oat flour – 1 ½ cups
Baking powder – 1 tbsp
Sugar – 2 tbsp
Strawberries – 2 cups, hulls removed
Maple syrup – 2 tbsp
Cornstarch – 2 tbsp
Salt – a pinch, optional for sauce


Instructions

Sauté strawberries with maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into softened berry mixture.
Cook and stir until sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes).
Adjust sweetness to taste.
Whisk eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and cooled melted butter in a large bowl until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, and sugar.
Gradually blend dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
Adjust batter consistency with additional milk if needed.
Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat; grease with butter.
Pour thick rounds of batter (about ¼ cup each) into the pan.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges set (about 3 minutes on the first side).
Flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side.
Transfer pancakes to a plate and cover with a layer of damp paper towels to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Notes

Use a ¼ cup cake scoop for uniform pancakes.
Cool melted butter for 10 minutes before adding to avoid sinking centers.
Stir sauce continuously to prevent cornstarch from burning.
Adjust pan heat if pancakes cook unevenly.
Layer damp paper towels over cooked pancakes to preserve moisture.
Avoid over-whisking batter; this can lead to dense pancakes.
Taste the sauce before adding more syrup to prevent excessive sweetness.
Ensure pancakes are fully cooked before flipping, especially on the first side.
