Homemade pancakes (from scratch)
Ingredients
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup oat milk (or any milk)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 1/2 cups flour (sifted)
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
1. Combine all ingredients until light and fluffy.
2. Preheat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
3. Spray with cooking spray.
4. Pour batter in using an ice cream scoop (this ensures they will all be the same size).
5. Cook until batter has many bubbles on top, about two to three minutes, then flip.
6. Cook until both sides are golden and cooked through.
Yield depends on the size of your pancakes, but should make about seven to eight six-inch pancakes.
