Calories 291 kcal
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened soy milk or other plant-based milk, or vegan yogurt
- 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 cups oat flour
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend or millet flour
- 2 T ground flax seed
- 2 T tapioca starch
- 2 T brown sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
Mix the plant milk with the vinegar or lemon juice in a medium sized bowl and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine both flours, ground flaxseed, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix very well with whisk or fork.
Add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with rubber spatula or spoon until just combined.
The batter will thicken as the oats and flax seeds absorb the moisture. If the batter seems too thick, add extra plant-based milk, about 1/4 cup at a time.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto a preheated, nonstick griddle or pancake pan. Cook over medium low heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Turn the pancake over when small bubble appear and it starts to get slightly brown around the edges.
The pancakes should be golden brown on the outside. With gluten-free pancakes it is important that the heat under your skillet is low so they cook properly on the inside without overcooking the outside.
