Let’s Make it together
Gather Your Ingredients: First things first—gather all your ingredients on the counter. This helps avoid last-minute dashes across the house looking for baking powder.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, and salt until they’re well combined. The mixture should look fluffy and inviting.
Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of your dry mix and pour in milk, eggs, and maple syrup. Stir until just combined; you want some lumps for extra fluffiness!
Heat Your Pan: Preheat a skillet over medium heat with coconut oil or butter until melted. A drop of water should sizzle when it’s ready; that’s your cue!
Scoop & Cook!: Using a ladle, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top—about 2-3 minutes—and then flip to cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve with Toppings: Stack those beauties high on a plate! Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added indulgence.
Enjoy these oat flour pancakes as part of breakfast during lazy weekends or serve them at brunch gatherings where everyone can share in their fluffy goodness!
