Method
 

Preparation
  1. Make the oat flour by blending rolled oats in a blender for 30-60 seconds until a fine flour-like consistency is achieved.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: mix together oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate large bowl, add Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and vanilla bean paste, and whisk well to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Let the batter sit for 3-5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium to medium-low heat. Add cooking fat and let it warm up.
  2. Take 1/4 cup of batter and pour it onto the skillet, forming equal-sized pancakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes until small bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-4 minutes until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Top pancakes with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, allow the batter to rest briefly before cooking. Avoid overmixing the batter for fluffy pancakes. Monitor the heat to prevent burning.
