Ingredients

• 1 cup oats

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, blend the oats until they turn into a fine powder.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, vanilla extract, and egg.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some of the moisture.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
