✓ 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened non-dairy milk (like soy, oat, almond, or cashew)
✓ 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
✓ 1¼ cups whole rolled oats (or use 1 cup oat flour)

✓ 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
✓ 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
✓ 1 tablespoon maple syrup
✓ 2-3 tablespoons applesauce
✓ 3/4 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed
TOPPINGS
Chopped apple, chopped pear, walnuts, pecans, maple syrup
Instructions
In a 1or 2 cup measuring cup, measure out non-dairy milk and add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar. Set aside to curdle.
Add whole rolled oats to a blender a whirl for about 45-60 seconds to make oat flour
Add baking powder, cinnamon, and flax seed to oat flour in the blender and whirl for a few seconds to combine
To the curdled non-dairy milk in the measuring cup, add maple syrup and apple sauce and stir.
Tilt the blender container to the side to push oat mixture over and expose the blades. Pour liquid ingredients in and add cooked sweet potato. Whirl until smooth, adding more non-dairy milk a few tablespoons at a time if it seems too thick.
Heat a skillet or griddle - your choice of pan - over medium heat and add batter ¼ to ⅓ cup at a time to hot pan. Cook each pancake a few minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom, then flip and repeat on other side.
Serve warm with chopped fruit of your choice, a sprinkle of chopped and toasted walnuts or pecans, and maple syrup.
Enjoy!
Notes: To ensure pancakes are cooking all the way through, you could add a lid to cover the pan and hold the heat in while cooking.
