Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For Cooking and Serving

  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • Greek yogurt, for serving
  • Fresh fruit, for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk the egg, whole milk, melted butter, maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined to form the batter, taking care not to overmix.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Dish: Lightly grease a 6-inch pie dish with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the greased pie dish. Place the dish inside the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and lightly golden on top. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
  6. Serve: Top the cooked pancakes with Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh sliced fruit for a nutritious and balanced breakfast.

Notes

  • Oat flour can be substituted with finely ground oats if oat flour is unavailable.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your air fryer model for best results.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • The 6-inch pie dish must fit inside your air fryer basket; use a similar oven-safe dish if needed.
