Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour (2 ½ cups old-fashioned oats)
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • vegetable oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Add the oats to a food processor and blend until you get a fine flour. It should give you about 2 cups. Add the oat flour to a large bowl with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, whisking together.
  • Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla extract until just combined.
  • Lightly grease a non-stick pan with oil over medium heat. Pour ⅓ cup of the batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until you see bubbles on top and the edges are firming up. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancakes are browned and cooked through. Serve warm with butter, fruit and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Since there is no gluten, you can throw all of the ingredients in the blender and blend together if you prefer.
  • DO NOT let the pancake batter sit out or the oats will soak up the liquid and thicken too much. Add more buttermilk if you do.
  • Oat flour pancake batter is thinner than traditional pancake batter. However it shouldn't be runny. If it is too thin, add 1 tablespoon of oats at a time and blend until reaching desired consistency. If it's too thick, then add 1 tablespoon of buttermilk milk at a time and blend.
  • Use an electric skillet which allows you to make multiple pancakes at a time, but you can use a cast iron skillet as well.
  • Wait until bubbles pop and form holes that stay open on the surface of the batter before flipping the pancakes.
  • Heat oven to 200°F and place pancakes on a baking sheet to keep warm wan cooking additional pancakes.
