Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cups oats
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet ingredients

  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs* for a vegan option)
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup butter or coconut oil + more to coat griddle, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To serve

  • 1 orange peeled and sliced
  • maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Heat a griddle or pan at medium heat and add a bit of coconut oil or butter to coat it and prevent sticking. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for a couple of minutes until bubbles begin to form. Flip the pancakes and cook for another couple minutes.
  • To serve, add sliced oranges on top of pancake stacks and drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

  • * To make 2 flax eggs, mix 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal with 5 tablespoons of water. Let it rest and thicken for 5 minutes.
