Step 1
In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir just until everything comes together — it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Fold in the butterscotch chips, then let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up a bit.

Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet, then use the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle a little over 1/4 inch thick. Cook until you see the edges set and bubbles form on top, around 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more spray as needed. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These pancakes are light and airy with a delightful chew from the oatmeal. The butterscotch adds a rich, sweet flavor that makes each bite feel special. They are perfect for a cozy breakfast or a weekend treat.
How to serve
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or extra butterscotch sauce. Fresh berries or sliced bananas add a nice contrast of flavor and texture. A dollop of whipped cream can make this breakfast even more indulgent.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes with parchment paper between each layer, then thaw before reheating.
