Oat Flour Pancakes
These oat flour pancakes are gluten free, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Gluten Free Oat Flour
- 1 Cup Milk (Feel free to use your choice of milk)
- 3 Eggs, Separated
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- Butter, non-dairy butter or vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and whisk until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Using a second mixing bowl, separate the eggs- place the egg yolks into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and the whites into the additional bowl.
- Mix the eggs yolks into the dry ingredients until they clump together, then whisk in the milk in 3-4 separate additions, mixing well between each addition. Adding the milk a little at a time, instead of all at once, helps prevent lumps of flour in your batter.
- Using a handheld or stand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes on high speed.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, taking care to not over mix. Once the egg whites are fully incorporated into the batter, set a large pan or skillet over medium low heat.
- Once the pan has heated, add a pat of butter (non-dairy if you prefer) or splash of olive oil to the pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking. Let the butter melt and warm up for a minute.
- Add a large spoonful of batter to the pan and let it spread out to form a pancake. The batter will be thick and move quite slowly. Repeat this step with however many pancakes will fit in your pan (generally I can cook 3-4 at a time, but it depends on the size of your pan, and how large you make your pancakes.)
- Allow the pancakes to cook for about 3 or so minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. The edges and top looking a bit dry are a good indicator it's time to flip them!
- Flip the pancakes and allow them to cook on the opposite side, another 3 or so minutes.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit and your favorite toppings!
