Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted) or olive oil
- Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the rolled oats to make a fine oat flour. (Or use store-bought oat flour if preferred.)
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb some of the liquid and thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or additional coconut oil.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
