Add the oat mixture to the egg mixture, and stir until incorporated.
Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium-low heat and grease with a bit of Vegetable oil or cooking oil spray. Pour about 3 spoonfuls of batter per pancake and cook for about 2 minutes per side. In a big pan, you'll be able to cook 4 pancakes at a time. Don't make them larger, as they will be difficult to flip.
