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 & Serving

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

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until well combined to ensure even rising and seasoning in the pancakes.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, whole milk, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredient mixture gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Prepare Pie Dish: Lightly grease a 6-inch pie dish with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy pancake removal.
  5. Cook Pancake in Air Fryer: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the prepared pie dish. Place the dish inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes or until the pancake is puffed up and lightly golden on top. Repeat this step with the remaining batter to make additional pancakes.
  6. Serve: Top each warm pancake with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of additional maple syrup, and fresh sliced fruit for a bright and creamy finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use a pie dish or any small heatproof dish that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.
  • Cooking time might vary slightly depending on your specific air fryer model; check pancakes frequently after 2.5 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk and use a dairy-free butter alternative.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to maintain a tender texture in your pancakes.
  • Oat flour can be substituted with finely ground oats if oat flour is unavailable.
