Tips and tricks
- Don't leave the batter to sit for too long. The oats are not cooked so they will absorb a ton of the moisture over time creating a thicker batter. It won't spread as well in the skillet. If you have ever had overnight oats, you will know what I am talking about.
- Since he batter is already thin at the start, don't throw in any chocolate chips or other add-ins because they will just sink to the bottom. Nevertheless, it is okay to throw them on top at the end!
- If the batter is too thin or to thick, you can always add extra milk or extra oats to get the right consistency.
Substitutions and variations
- Substitute all-purpose flour for oat flour
- Use almond milk
- Substitute with maple syrup for the sweetener
