Oat Flour Pancakes are naturally gluten-free and turn out just as delicious as the traditional version! Double or triple the recipe if serving a crowd.
In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to combine, then add in the egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until there are no large lumps, then let the batter rest for 10 minutes, letting the oat flour absorb the moisture.
Grease a skillet over medium-low heat on the stove. You'll know the pan is ready to cook when a drop of water instantly sizzles when it touches the pan. Use a scant ¼ cup to scoop the batter into the center of the greased skillet.
When bubbles form in the center of the pancake, it should be easy to slide a spatula under the pancake and flip it over. Each side will need to cook for roughly 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter until you've made 6 pancakes total. You may need to lower the heat as you go; the pancakes may start to cook faster as the pan gets hotter.
Serve oat flour pancakes warm, with your favorite toppings. (Keep them warm in an oven heated to 180ºF while you finish cooking the batch.) Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and are easy to reheat in a toaster for a fast morning.
