❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, but oat flour keeps them lighter and slightly higher in fiber. All-purpose flour will work but may change texture and points.
Can I make these dairy-free?
You can substitute dairy-free yogurt, but protein content and texture may vary.
Can I make them in a blender?
Yes! Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth for an ultra-easy batter.
Can I freeze them?
Absolutely. Let cool completely, stack with parchment paper between layers, and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster or microwave.
Why are my pancakes dense?
Overmixing or cooking on high heat can cause density. Keep heat moderate and mix just until combined.
Can I add mix-ins?
Yes! Try blueberries, mini chocolate chips (sugar-free), or cinnamon.
