Ingredients

  • 2 cups quick oats see note for substitution
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/2 cups buttermilk see notes for substitution
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 2 eggs lightly whisked
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks about 120 grams, plus more for topping
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons melted peanut butter for topping
  • Unsalted butter for cooking the pancakes see notes.

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the oats, baking soda and buttermilk. Mix well until fully combined. Let stand for about 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Lightly whisk to combine.
  • Add the oil and whisked eggs to the oat buttermilk mixture, and mix to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt & sugar) to the oat buttermilk mixture and stir until fully combined.
  • Add in the chocolate chunks and gently stir until combined.
  • Melt about 1 teaspoon of butter on a griddle or skillet on medium high heat, and scoop about 2 tablespoons (normal kitchen tablespoons not the measuring ones) of pancake batter onto the griddle/skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until you can see tiny bubbles on top of the pancake and gently flip. Cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes or until pancake is cooked through. Repeat until batter is finished.
  • Top with melted peanut butter and chocolate chunks.

Notes

Quick Oats substitute: with old fashioned oats. Just pulse the old fashioned oats in a food processor or blender briefly before using. Buttermilk substitute: Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to 2 1/4 cups of full fat milk and let stand for 5 minutes or until the milk is curdled. Butter: If using salted butter for cooking the pancakes, then omit the 1/2 teaspoon of salt in the pancake batter, as the pancakes might turn out to be too salty.
