Notes
This recipe makes 4 medium-sized pancakes. You can easily double the recipe if you want 8 pancakes, instead.
The batter is quite thick, which makes really fluffy pancakes. You may want to spread the batter with a spoon when it's in the frying pan to have nice round pancakes or add more water if you prefer thinner pancakes.
For vegan oat flour pancakes, use dairy-free greek yogurt and a flax egg instead.
