Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup oat flour easily made by blending old-fashioned oats in blender, dry
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 ripe banana mashed
• 1 Tbsp. pure vanilla
• 1 Tbsp. maple syrup or, I used 1 tbsp. unrefined sucanat sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup vanilla almond milk plain will work fine too

Instructions

1. Making oat flour is simple. Just put whole oats into a blender or food processor.
2. Blend oats until soft and powdery. This will take less than 1 minute.
3. Add all dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, walnuts) to large bowl, and mix together.
4. In another bowl, mash banana well with fork or potato masher. Add all other ingredients (vanilla, maple syrup (or unrefined sugar), apple cider vinegar, and almond milk). Whisk together thoroughly.
5. Combine both bowls–dry ingredients and wet ingredients, and stir well.
6. Heat large nonstick skillet. I use an Ozeri pan and am able to cook these with absolutely no oil.
7. Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated skillet and cook until the tops bubble and edges are dry.
8. Turn pancakes over and cook the other side for about 1 minute, until golden brown.
9. Serve immediately with maple syrup drizzled over the top.
