If you’re looking for a breakfast that feels like a warm hug, these Caramelized Peach and Oat Pancakes are the perfect choice. They combine hearty oats, sweet caramelized peaches, and a hint of cinnamon to create a stack of pancakes that are both nutritious and indulgent.

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil

For the Caramelized Peaches:

• 2 large peaches, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

1. In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk effect.
3. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the milk mixture, whisking to combine.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 2: Caramelize the Peaches

1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
3. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches become tender and caramelized.
4. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and spoon the caramelized peaches over the top.
2. Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.
3. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream for a decadent touch.
4. Serve warm and enjoy!
