   In a small saucepan heat milk until hot; remove from heat.

   Stir in oats.
3. 3
   Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
4. 4
   Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
5. 5
   Make a well in the center of the flour mixture (for liquid ingredients).
6. 6
   In a small bowl, stir together egg, oil, and vanilla.
7. 7
   Add egg mixture and oats mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir until combined.
8. 8
   For each pancake, pour about cup of the batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet (use vegetable oil; butter tends to burn).
