Oat Flour Pancakes (Fluffy Secretly Healthy)

Ingredients

• 1 cup traditional rolled oats or oat flour
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk - I prefer non-dairy milks such as almond or oat milk
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil - or preferred oil/ butter for frying
• 1 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
• *Optional mini chocolate chips
• Serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas and maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the rolled oats to a blender and blend to make a fine oat flour, usually about 30 seconds. Give the blender a shake halfway to ensure there are no oats left inside

2. 2

   In a large bowl, add wet ingredients, being the egg, milk, greek yogurt, vanilla and honey. Whisk until smooth

3. 3

   Add dry ingredients to the bowl, being oat flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gently mix through so there are no clumps, making sure not to over mix

4. 4

   *Optional, add 1-2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips, and gently mix through the batter

5. 5

   Heat some oil on a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a ladle of the pancake batter and shape with the back of a spoon if neededAdd more of the pancake batter to the pan, making sure to leave room in between them for flipping

6. 6

   After a few minutes, when you start to see some bubbles, gently flip the pancakes using a spatula. You can also lift one of corners of the pancakes to check they're lightly golden brown and ready to be flipped

7. 7

   Cook the second side for 1-2 minutes then remove the first batch of pancakes. Add more oil to the pan and continue the last 2 steps for the remaining mixture
