1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup old fashioned oats
5 Tbsp. butter, melted, divided, plus more for serving
2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 large eggs

2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
Maple syrup, for serving
Fresh fruit, for serving

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine milk and oats. Let sit for 10 minutes until oats are slightly softened. While the oats soak, combine melted butter and sugar in a small bowl. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, if using.
Step 2
After oats have soaked, add eggs and whisk to combine. As you whisk, stream in butter-sugar mixture, then whisk in dry ingredients until a batter forms.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add about 1 teaspoon butter to pan and let melt. For large pancakes add about ½ cup of batter to the pan, for silver pancakes, add about 2 tablespoons batter. Cook on the first side until bubbles form on the top and the sides begin to dry and lift from the pan, about 3 minutes. Cook on the second side until just golden, about 1 minute more. Repeat until you are finished with the batter, adding more butter to pan as needed. You can keep pancakes warm in a 200° oven.
Step 4
Serve immediately with maple syrup, butter or fresh fruit.
