8 to 24 hours before you want to make your pancakes, mix the rolled oats and one of the mile options together in a glass jar, cover it loosely, and set it on the counter to soak

when you are ready to make your pancakes, preheat a skillet over medium heat ( eg heavy cast-iron skillet). Then, add the rest of the ingredients to your soqked oats and mix well. The oatmeal should have absorbed all the milk, so there's no need to dain it. This pancake batter will be thicker and have more texture than an average batter.

Melt a little butter in your pan, scoop in some batter, and cook until bubbles break the top surface and the top surface looks dry (a adjust the heat so the bottom gets golden brown). Then flip the pancake and cook until that side is golden brown. Then flip the pancake and cook until that side is golden brown (about half the time thenfirstntime took). Serve with more butter and real maple syrup, sorghum syrup,honey,nornfruit preserves.

NOTE: Once you've soaked or sprouted your grains, you can toss them in a blender and use them for all sorts of baked goods, like pancakes. So you can make your grains healthier while also saving money on flour you otherwise may not use fast enough.
