Serves 1-2
Ingredients
1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 cup white rice flour
2 Tbsp. coconut sugar, optional
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
4 oz. unsweetened applesauce
Toppings (optional)
Maple blueberry syrup (or regular maple syrup)
Chia seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Fresh blueberries
Large flaked coconut
Directions
- Preheat a clean, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- While the pan heats, combine all ingredients in a high-speed blender, scrapping down the sides between pulses, if necessary.
- On fully heated pan, pour desired amount of batter and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Batter will make approximately 6 small pancakes, 4 medium-sized and 3 large.
- Repeat step 3 until all batter has been used.
Note: Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, place in the oven at 325 degrees F for 6-8 minutes.
