Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl, first zest one orange and keep the bowl aside. Combine peeled oranges in a blender and blend it as smooth as possible. Then, with the help of a strainer, strain the orange juice in the same bowl of orange zest. Squeeze the pulp as much as possible to extract maximum juice and discard the leftover pulp. (If you have a juicer then feel free to juice the oranges in your juicer and stir in orange zest). Keep it aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Mix it well with a spoon.
  • In the flour mixture, add orange juice (from step 1), soaked flaxmeal, maple syrup, vanilla extract, orange extract and almond milk. Whip it into a thick batter.
  • Warm up your griddle/pan at high flame. (Greasing it with oil or cooking spray is optional depending on the type of pan you choose to use). Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter on the warm pan/griddle and shape it round with the back of a spoon. Cook the pancake at medium flame until the bubbles form at its top.
  • With the help of the flat spatula flip it over to the other side and cook again at medium flame until golden in color. Gently scoop it with the flat spatula on a serving plate.
  • Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the rest of the batter.
  • Garnish with orange slices and some more orange zest. Drizzle maple syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe yields 4 pancakes and the serving size is 2 pancakes per person. 
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar can be substituted for maple syrup.
  • Once the pan is heated at high flame quickly pour and shape the batter and bring the flame to medium heat. 
  • These pancakes tastes best when served immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated to be used the next day. Warm them well in the microwave before serving. 
  • Make sure to first zest your orange before peeling. Collect the grated orange zest in the bowl in which you plan to juice the oranges. Zest only 1 orange to be mixed in the batter.
