Homemade Whole-Grain Pancake Mix
1. Grind the oats in a food processor until they're chopped fine, but not a powder.
2. Put the flour, oats, and all other dry ingredients into a mixer with a paddle. Mix on slow speed, and drizzle the vegetable oil slowly while the mixer is running.
3. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks at room temperature, or indefinitely in the refrigerator or freezer.
4. To make pancakes: Whisk together 1 cup of mix, 1 cup of buttermilk, and 1 large egg. Let the batter stand for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
5. Heat a lightly greased griddle to 350°F or medium-hot. Drop the batter onto it in 1/4-cupfuls to make a 4" diameter pancake. After about 2 minutes, flip the pancake over to finish cooking.
