Oat Flour Pancakes

1 cup quick oats
1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat)
1 cup gluten free flour blend (or regular white)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup brown sugar (may substitute part white)

2 eggs (may use "flax eggs"**)
1/4 cup vegetable oil (can be coconut oil)
2 cups soured almond milk (can be buttermilk)
1/2 tsp vanilla

(Adapted slightly from Christina Allen, Avon)

 FLAX EGGS

• 1 Tbsp (7 g) flaxseed meal (ground raw flaxseed)
• 2 1/2 Tbsp (37 ml) water

Instructions

1. Add flaxseed meal and water to a dish and stir. Let rest for 5 minutes to thicken. Add to recipes in place of 1 egg.
2. It's not an exact 1:1 substitution in every recipe because it doesn't bind and stiffen during baking quite like an egg does. But I've found it to work incredibly well in pancakes, quick breads, brownies, muffins, cookies, and many other recipes.
