Ingredients
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need:

Instructions
Blend oats in a dry blender or coffee grinder to make oat flour:
Add all the remaining ingredients to the oat flour. Whisk or blend until a smooth consistency. Depending on the oats, you can need more milk:
If you find it a bit liquid, don't add milk. It will get thick while you pre-heat a pan or pancake machine:
Preheat the pancake machine over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with oil or melted butter. Pour ¼ cup or 3 tablespoons of batter to make 1 pancake. If you don't have a pancake machine, you can use a nonstick pan with a bit of coconut oil:
Once you see "bubbles' around your pancake, you can flip it and cook the other side, like so:
And just like that, your best egg-free Free Pancakes are done!
Serve with your favorite toppings. I love mine with banana slices, fresh blueberries, and honey! Yum!
