OAT FLOUR PANCAKE RECIPE (Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free)

[Christy Pooschke]

 

Makes about 15 pancakes.

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups gluten-free oats (or 2 3/4 cups gluten-free oat flour)

1 TBSP baking powder (look for a gluten-free & aluminum-free brand)

1 tsp sea salt

14-oz. water

2 eggs

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

1/4 cup honey

 

Preheat non-stick griddle to 375 degrees.

Grind oats into a flour if using whole oats (we throw ours in our blender).

Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl - a whisk works great for this…really breaks up the clumps. Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined – it’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy. Don’t over-mix or pancakes will be tough.

Test that skillet is fully preheated by sprinkling some water on it – the droplets should “dance” and sizzle.

Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the skillet. Pancakes are ready to flip when the edges are slightly dry and the top is covered in bubbles (peak underneath to make sure the bottom is golden brown before flipping).

Flip pancakes and cook until underside is golden brown – do NOT flip more than once or flatten the cakes with your spatula. These pancakes rip easily. To keep them from tearing, be sure to slip your spatula under them in one smooth, really quick motion …and you may wish to wipe your spatula clean between batches, as well. Serve immediately or store in fridge/freezer for reheating.

I enjoy these plain (I’ve never really enjoyed syrup) – these really are sweet enough to hold their own    Obviously, if you’re not “dairy-free,” feel free to spread butter all over them – I’m sure that’d be delicious! Otherwise, top with pure maple syrup or raw honey!
