These satisfying pancakes contain generous amounts of heart-healthy
oats. They are delicious when served with fresh orange slices or other
fruit, or a bit of real maple syrup. You can purchase oat flour at
natural food stores and in some supermarkets, or you can make your own
by grinding rolled oats in a food processor or blender.
Directions
Makes about 10 pancakes
1 cup oat flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 ripe banana, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
1 cup soy- or other non dairy milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
In a small mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix.
In a larger mixing bowl, combine banana, non dairy milk, vinegar, syrup,
and walnuts, if using. Mix thoroughly. Add the flour mixture and stir
just enough to mix.
Heat a large non-stick skillet. Pour small amounts of batter onto
skillet and cook until tops bubble and edges are dry. Flip and cook
second side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
