Ingredients

1 cup whole rolled oats (or oat flour)
⅔ cup milk
2 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted (or butter)
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup (or honey)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
pure maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

If you're using whole rolled oats, pour them into a food processor or high-speed blender and process until it is finely ground. If you're using pre-ground oat flour, you can skip this step.
In a medium bowl, stir together the milk, coconut oil (or butter), vinegar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs. Don't worry if the melted coconut oil solidifies when combined with cold ingredients; just make sure everything is well mixed together.
Add the oat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps. The batter will be thin. It will thicken a bit while it sits but it should remain thin and pourable. If it thickens too much add a splash of milk to thin it out.
Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet or nonstick griddle over medium-low heat. Once the pan is hot, lightly oil the cooking surface with butter or coconut oil. Ladle or pour ¼ cup batter onto the pan for each pancake, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Let the pancakes cook until small bubbles form on the tops and the underside is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Once the bottom side has cooked sufficiently, flip and cook for another couple of minutes or so, until golden brown on both sides.
Serve the pancakes immediately or keep warm in a 200°F oven. To serve, drizzle with maple syrup.

Notes

Oat Flour: You can purchase pre-made oat flour at many grocery stores and natural food markets these days.
Gluten Free: If you are gluten-free be sure to buy oats that are specifically labeled gluten-free.
