Oat and Vanilla American Pancakes

These pancakes are the best breakfast for someone who craves pancakes! I absolutely love them because they are light and delicious, but also have a slight oat flavour (I love porridge!). If you don't like oats you can sub the oat flour for any other type of flour and you will have normal pancakes. :)

So instead of having porridge every morning (if you do that) try and change it up and have these pancakes instead!

Serve with maple syrup and it will be like pancake day everyday!

Ingredients 

(Makes three small pancakes - you can easily double the recipe) 

• 40g of oat flour (really processed oats - just put them in a blender or food processor for a few minutes) 
• 3/4 tsp of baking powder 
• 1 stevia packet (you can sub a different type of sweetener or use 2 tsp of sugar) 
• 125 ml  almond milk (unsweetened) 
• 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract 
• 1 heaped tbs of apple sauce 
• Optional: 2 tsp of flax seed 
• Coconut oil for greasing the frying pan 

Method 

1. Mix together dry ingredients very well 
2. Mix together the wet ingredients really well 
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly 
4. Heat up a large frying pan on a high heat greased with coconut oil (I would do this even if you frying pan is non stick) 
5. When you think it is ready flick water on the pan - if the water dances and spits the pan is hot enough. 
6. Turn the heat down a little and ladle or pour 1/3 of the pancake mixture in the frying pan. When the sides of the pancake start to look dry and the top looks like it has a few little holes in it you know it is time to flip it over. (This will be after about 2 - 3 minutes) 
7. Cook for less than a minute on the other side (or until it looks a but golden brown) 
8. Remove from the pan and put on a plate. 
9. Repeat steps 6 - 8 until all the pancake mixture has gone. 
10. Serve with maple syrup of any other topping of choice and enjoy your delicious American style pancakes!
