Have you been on the search for a healthy pancake recipe? These healthy double chocolate overnight oat pancakes use oat flour and have no added refined sugar! They have a great texture and are so good, you won't miss the full fat, full sugar version.
In a food processor or blender, add about 2 cups 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, mix together the dry ingredients: oat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add in your wet ingredients: oat milk (or milk of choice), egg, coconut oil (or other oil of choice), honey and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for four hours or overnight. This will allow the oats to soak up the liquid and thicken the batter so the pancakes will stay together better while they cook. You can use this batter right away without refrigerating, but just know that it may break apart more easily when you try to flip the pancakes.
When you're ready to make your pancakes, preheat a griddle or skillet on medium-low heat. Be sure to use either butter, cooking spray or coconut oil to grease the pan. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, spoon the mixture onto your cooking surface and add your chocolate chips!
Allow the pancakes to cook on the first side for about four minutes or until a nice "crust" has formed on the bottom. These take a little longer than traditional pancakes because they are more dense, but they will be worth the wait. Flip and cook on the second side for another two minutes or so.
