Pancakes made with oat flour are a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional pancakes. Here's a simple recipe for oat flour pancakes:
– 1 cup oat flour (you can purchase it or make your own by blending rolled oats) – 1 tablespoon sugar (optional) – 1 teaspoon baking powder – 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – 1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare the Oat Flour: – If you don't have oat flour, make your own by blending rolled oats in a blender or food processor until you get a fine powder.
Mix Dry Ingredients: – In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: – In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: – Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Let the Batter Rest: – Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps the oat flour absorb the liquid and results in fluffier pancakes.
