For breakfast, one of our favorite things to eat are pancakes. They’re easy and quick to make, and everyone always loves them! I like to get creative with my pancake recipes and thought the combination of cinnamon, all spice and walnuts would taste great together (and I was right)! Although these flavors are typically associated with fall, I think they taste amazing any time of year, especially lately when the weather has been rainy and cold.

If you love pancakes too and want to try out other flavors, check out some of my other pancake recipes: basic pancakes, sweet potato pancakes and healthy double chocolate overnight pancakes! There’s really so many flavor combinations for pancakes that the possibilities are endless. You can make them full fat, full sugar (which of course are delicious) and you can change up the ingredients to make them super healthy too! What’s your favorite flavor combination for pancakes?

HOW TO STORE PANCAKES

The easiest way to store these dairy free pancakes is to let them cool completely and then put them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best if they’re eaten within a week. When you’re ready to eat them, pop them in the microwave or toaster and your’e ready to go!

You can also freeze these pancakes. To do so, lay them in a single layer on a greased baking sheet and freeze for an hour. Once frozen, remove and store in a gallon freezer bag or airtight container for up to four months in the freezer. Simple remove and place in the microwave or toaster and enjoy! This is a great option for when you’re on the go and need something quick.

The batter is good for up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but is probably best eaten within three days.

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY SPICED WALNUT PANCAKES

In a food processor or blender, add about 1 cup of old fashion rolled oats and blend until you have a flour-like consistency. If the oats aren’t completely ground into a flour, that’s okay! That will give these pancakes a great texture!

In a medium bowl, combine oat flour, all purpose unbleached flour, ground flax seeds, cinnamon, all spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Then add oat milk, maple syrup (or sweetener of your choice), oil, egg and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.

Preheat a skillet or griddle. Once the skillet is hot, add coconut oil to grease. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet, then top with the chopped walnuts. Let the pancakes cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until golden brown and then flip. Cook another 1-2 until it’s done. Serve with delicious maple syrup!
