In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a flax 'egg'.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until a batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the flax 'egg' into the batter until fully incorporated. The batter should be slightly thickβadd a splash more almond milk if needed.
For pancakes, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
For waffles, preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease if needed and pour the batter in, spreading it evenly. Cook as per your waffle iron instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Serve the pancakes or waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, more maple syrup, or a dollop of vegan yogurt.
