Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together skyr, egg whites (or whole eggs), maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Sift the ground oats, spelt flour, flaxseed meal, tapioca starch, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the wet ingredients.

  3. 3

    Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Let the batter sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soak up the liquid.

  5. 5

    Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and brush with a little coconut oil.

  6. 6

    Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.

    Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.

  8. 8

    Serve the pancakes topped with peanut butter and fruit jam.

Heads up — we had to guess a little:

  • Used 3 egg whites based on the context of using yolks for another recipe; could also use 2 whole eggs.
