Fall Spice Pancakes

Ingredients

•  1 1/2 C flour
• 1/2 C old-fashioned oats
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 1 1/2 C milk

Instructions

1. Combine the flour through the cloves in a large mixing bowl. Stir to mix. Combine the eggs, syrup, oil, and milk in a large measuring cup and mix together. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Pour the pancake mixture back into the large measuring cup and let stand for five to ten minutes to thicken.

2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high. Add a tablespoon of butter to the hot pan and swirl the pan to coat the surface with butter evenly.

3. Using a quarter-cup measuring cup, pour a small amount of batter onto the hot pan to form three or four pancakes. Let the pancakes cook for two to three minutes, or until large bubbles form across the top of each pancake. Flip the pancakes over and cook for about one more minutes. Remove pancakes to a plate or baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until you are ready to serve.

4. Repeat step 3 until all the batter is gone.

5. Serve with butter, maple syrup, fresh whipped cream, and maple flakes.
