One lazy Sunday morning Gabby
and I decided to make pancakes. She was very happy about this impromptu plan!
I have a nice base recipe that I use which I told her about, and I asked her how she wanted to modify it to make her own flavor, She was excited to try something new and suggested walnuts, I mentioned that maple goes well with walnuts and we came up with a cool idea to actually add maple syrup to the batter. It worked really well and the kitchen smelled absolutely amazing while they were cooking.
Speaking of cooking, I greased the pan and tuned on the heat but Gabby actually poured the pancake batter into the pan under my close supervision. I wasn’t quite ready to let her try flipping them yet, but this will come with time.
She had a fantastic time and already started discussing other favors to try while she was eating these pancakes at the table. The maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness and they really can be eaten plain or with just a little butter spread on top. If you like them sweeter you can add a bit more syrup on top. Enjoy!!

Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 Tablespoons oat flour (if you are on a gluten free diet use a brand
such as Bob’s Red Mill or you can make your own to by grinding gluten free oats
in food processor)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup egg whites
1 cup nonfat milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup egg whites
1 cup nonfat milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
In a small bowl combine the baking powder, flour and brown sugar together. To a larger bowl add the egg whites, maple syrup, vanilla and milk and whisk together. Then slowly whisk in the flour mixture until a smooth, thin batter is formed. Stir in the walnuts. Let stand for a 20-30 minutes in the frisdge minutes. Add ¼ cup (for 1 pancake) to a non stick skillet, or one coated with cooking spray and heat on high heat for 1-2 minutes each side. Repeat with ¼ cup mixture 7 more times for a total of seven small pancakes. (Note: if you make this ahead of time and keep in the fridge it will thicken up quite a bit, so you can whisk in a little milk before cooking to thin out if desired.
