📋How to Make Oat Flour Pancakes
STEP 1: Place the oats in a blender, cover and blend until the oats have turned into oat flour.
STEP 2: Add the bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds.
STEP 3: Cover the blender and mix until the ingredients have formed a smooth batter. Be sure there are no lumps in the batter, as this will improve the texture of your pancakes.
STEP 4: Spray a griddle or skillet with cooking spray. Heat the griddle over medium heat and pour a ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
STEP 5: Let the pancakes cook for a few minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
STEP 6: Use a spatula to carefully flip pancakes and cook them for another minute on the other side until they are golden brown.
STEP 7: Do the same with the remaining batter and remove the fluffy pancakes from the pan when done.
Top oat flour pancakes with butter if you'd like. You can also top these pancakes with chopped nuts (we used pecans) and sliced fruit (we used fresh berries). Then drizzle on maple syrup and serve.
👩🏻🍳Expert Tips
Tip 1: Get creative with your pancake toppings. You can dust the pancakes with powdered sugar or add a homemade fruit compote.
Tip 2: You can add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter. As the pancakes cook, the chocolate chips will melt slightly, which will make for some deliciously gooey pancakes.
