Notes
For smoother pancakes, use oat flour instead of rolled oats.
Make them gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.
These pancakes freeze well—let cool completely, then freeze in a single layer. Reheat in toaster or skillet.
For extra sweetness, add 1–2 tsp of honey or maple syrup to the batter.
Try flavor variations: add blueberries, chocolate chips, or mashed banana.
