Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats pulsed in a blender until a soft flour forms
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp ground flax seed
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • First, add your rolled oats to the blender and pulse until a soft fine flour forms.
    Add flax seed and water to a large bowl to make flax egg. Mix together and let this sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar and maple syrup to the bowl with the flax egg. Stir well.
  • Next, add in the oat flour and stir. Make sure there are no clumps. You may want to use a whisk if the batter seems clumpy!
    Then add the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir or whisk until well incorporated and smooth.
  • Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
    While the batter is resting, heat up a little vegan butter or oil on a large pan on med heat if you don't have a trusty non-stick pan. Once heated, add about 2 tbsp of batter per pancake, spreading evenly to ensure an evenly wide and thick pancake.
  • Cook over med heat for about a two minutes on each side, depending on how hot your pan is getting, until golden brown on both sides.

Notes

  • Be sure to avoid over-mixing batter.
  • These pancakes are NOT overly sweet. I kept the sugar amount low on purpose so adjust accordingly to preference. 
  • While the recipe is oil free, you will need oil or vegan butter to cook unless you have a trusty non-stick pan.
