instructions
Add the first 7 ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine. Add in remaining ingredients and process for a few seconds, then stop and scrape the inside of the blender. Blend again until well combined. Heat a pancake pan over medium-low heat. Spray with cooking oil, then drop about 60 gram of the pancake batter. Make about 3-4 pancakes per batch or as much as your pan cat fit without overcrowding them. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the batter, starts to bubble, then gently flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, you should have about 10 pancakes. Serve pancakes warm with yogurt and dark chocolate shavings. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired. Notes Makes 10 medium-sized pancakes. The serving size is 2 pancakes. If the batter makes 12 pancakes then the serving size will be 3 pancakes. Serve with maple syrup or any other sugar-free syrup We used rolled oats, but you may use quick oats. The key is to blend in a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, 1 cup of rolled oats blended will yield just about 1 cup of oat flour or any other flour. If using flour start with 160 gram of four and if needed add another 30 gram. To make this vegan-friendly, use any non-dairy milk, and egg substitutes. For every one whole egg, you will need 60 ml of egg substitute. Also, top with a non-dairy yogurt. Don’t have any of the spices mentioned? you can sub with 1 tsp of pumpkin spice. Wrap and save the remaining pancakes in the fridge for up to 4 days. For a gluten-free option, use appropriate gluten-free flour and oats options.
