# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These pancakes manage to feel indulgent while secretly being packed with wholesome ingredients that actually keep you full until lunch
- The texture is absolutely perfect, fluffy and light with tiny bits of oats that add such a satisfying bite
02 -
- Overmixing the batter is the fastest way to make tough, dense pancakes, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
- Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking helps the oats soften and makes for fluffier results

- Wait until you see bubbles forming and popping on the surface before flipping, this is your sign that the first side is properly set
