Equipment
- food processor (if making the oat flour)
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oat flour if making yourself, requires about 1 cup of whole rolled oats
- 1/4 cup whole rolled oats
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped; 1/8 cup for batter, 1/8 cup for pancake topping
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup oat milk or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus optional oil/butter for greasing pan
Instructions
- If you don't have oat flour, grind about 1 cup of whole rolled oats in a food processor to make 3/4 cup of oat flour.
- Chop the pecans. Hold off on adding these until the batter is combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients (oat flour, whole rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, salt).
- Combine the wet ingredients (milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, olive oil).
- Mix all of the ingredients with a spatula or spoon until combined.
- While the batter sits for about 5 minutes, turn on the heat under your pan or griddle to low-medium. Once it's heated, a light splash of water will sizzle and disintegrate.
- Optional: Grease the pan with oil or butter, using less (or none) if using a non-stick pan.
- Using a 1/4 cup, drop batter onto the pan.
- Once each pancake starts to form bubbles around the edge, use a spatula to lift an edge. If it's brown, flip it over and let it cook on the other side.
- Once cooked on both sides, move the pancakes to a plate. Optional: Keep them on a plate in a slightly warm oven.
- Top with the remaining pecan pieces, maple syrup, or any other toppings you'd like.
