How to Make Oat Flour Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/4 cup oat flour
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4-1 cup milk (at room temperature)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or avocado oil or melted coconut oil)
• 1 egg (at room temperature)

Directions:

1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
2. Mix in the maple syrup, milk, and egg until well combined. It is important that the other ingredients be at room temperature so that the butter doesn’t solidify. Or you can use avocado oil.
3. Whisk in the oat flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
4. Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes in order to hydrate the oat flour (to ensure your pancakes are moist and fluffy).
5. Preheat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat (about 350 °F).
6. Lightly grease or butter your griddle or skillet and scoop ¼ cup of batter onto your hot griddle or into the heated non-stick pan.
7. Cook for 4-5 minutes until bubbly on top. Flip and cook for 2-3 more minutes until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

How to Store Oat Flour Pancakes
