Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Olive oil cooking spray

For Serving

  • Greek yogurt
  • Fresh fruit, sliced

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another medium bowl, whisk the large egg, whole milk, melted butter, maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
  3. Combine Batter: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture carefully until just combined to avoid overmixing and maintain fluffy pancakes.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Dish: Lightly grease a 6-inch pie dish or any suitable oven-safe dish that fits into your air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the prepared dish. Place the dish inside the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and lightly golden on top. Repeat with the remaining batter to make additional pancakes.
  6. Serve: Top the cooked warm pancakes with Greek yogurt, additional maple syrup, and fresh sliced fruit to taste. Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use oat flour for a gluten-free option, but check that your oat flour is certified gluten-free if needed.
  • If you don’t have a 6-inch pie dish, any small oven-safe container that fits inside your air fryer can work.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
  • You can substitute milk with a plant-based alternative for a dairy-free version, but pancake texture may vary slightly.
  • Be careful when removing the hot dish from the air fryer basket to avoid burns.
