- ⅔ cup oat flour
- ⅓ cup all purpose unbleached flour
- 1-2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp all spice can sub pumpkin spice or more cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- Chop walnuts and store in freezer so they're ready whenever you need them and they keep longer.
- To make it even easier, buy chopped walnuts to use for these dairy free pancakes!
- If you want to make these dairy pancakes gluten free as well, simply use all oat flour and omit the all purpose flour.
- If you're making these with all oat flour and are someone who is gluten free, be sure to use oats that are certified gluten free!
- Sprinkle the walnuts on top once you've poured your batter onto the skillet instead of mixing them in.
