Quick Oatmeal Pancakes

1 cup milk

⅔ cup quick-cooking oats

⅔ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 eggs

2 teaspoons butter, melted

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup milk, or more as needed

2 teaspoons butter, or as needed

Place 1 cup milk in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Stir in the oats.

Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Whisk eggs, 2 teaspoons melted butter, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; add 1/4 cup milk. Mix oat mixture and egg mixture with flour mixture; stir to combine.

Heat 2 teaspoons butter on a griddle or skillet over medium heat; pour about 1/3 cup batter into the hot butter. Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on top layer, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook other side until evenly browned, about 5 more minutes.
