Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Is there anything better than a cozy bowl of oatmeal on a chilly fall day? What about a piping hot stack of pancakes? … Well, this was my inspiration to combine the two and make these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes!

With the thick oatmeal texture and fluffy pancake consistency, these have quickly become a favorite in our house.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Yields 6-8 pancakes

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10-15 minutes

What you’ll need:

• 1/2 cup Quick Cooking Oats [can also do GF oats]

• 1 cup Bobs Red Mill Oat Flour [can also make your own with regular or GF oats by pulsing in the food processor until it’s flour consistency]

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 flax egg [1 Tbsp ground flax seed + 2 Tbsp water, let sit 10 minutes to gel up]

• 2 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

• 1 cup coconut milk

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1/4 dairy-free chocolate chips [I use Enjoy Life Foods brand]

What to do:

1. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (oats through cinnamon)

2. In a small bowl, mix wet ingredients (flax egg through vanilla)

3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients

4. Fold in chocolate chips

5. Pour about 1/8 cup batter at a time onto a hot, greased griddle or pan and flip halfway through to cook evenly

   [NOTE: this batter is THICK. I recommend spreading the batter out a bit on the griddle to help it cook evenly. You can add a tad bit more coconut milk if desired, but I enjoy a nice thick pancake!]

I hope you enjoy this fun twist on a classic pancake recipe!
