Oatcakes

What is this, you say, a pancake blog? I know. I am a little obsessed. I do love pancakes. They are such a simple pleasure. And you know I love my grains. This recipe is a great compliment to the Banana Oat Pancakes. On days you don't have a ripe banana, try these. They are very much like your standard wheat pancake, but taste like a bowl of oatmeal. Very yummy. The texture is solid, like a wheat pancake and could stand up to incorporating some blueberries. Of course, if you are gluten-free,make sure your oat flour and oats are gluten free. I make my oat flour in the processor with old-fashioned oats.

 3/4 cup oat four

3/4 cup quick rolled oats

2 eggs beaten with a fork until bubbly

1 T. melted coconut oil, plus more for frying

1/2 t. salt

2 t. baking powder

2 T. sugar

1 cup milk

In a small saucepan (or a microwave safe dish in the micro) heat milk till hot; stir in oats; let stand for 5 minutes.

In a mixing bowl combine oat flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add oat-milk mixture.

In a small bowl combine eggs and coconut oil; add all at once to flour-oat mixture, stirring just till combined.

  For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto a hot, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook till golden brown, turning to cook other side when pancake has a bubbly surface and slightly dry edges.
