Blend the oats: In a blender, grind the oats until they become a fine powder.
Combine dry ingredients: Add the baking powder and baking soda to the oat flour and mix well.
Whisk the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, sugar substitute, and cocoa powder until you get a smooth batter.
Heat the pan: Use a non-stick crepe pan or frying pan over low heat. It’s important not to overheat the pan.
Cook the pancakes: Lightly spray the pan with oil. Spoon some batter onto the pan, cooking two pancakes at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Flip the pancakes: Once small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancakes, it’s time to flip them. You can gently test by sliding a spatula underneath; if they lift easily, they’re ready.
Cook the other side: Flip the pancakes and cook them on the other side until done. Repeat with the remaining batter, spraying the pan between batches.
Enjoy! You should get around 5 pancakes from this recipe, depending on the size you make them. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Tips:
For extra chocolate flavor, you can add a few chopped dark chocolate chips to the batter.
If you don’t have a blender, you can grind the oats in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
To make the pancakes vegan, use vegan yogurt and a flaxseed egg (mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and let it sit for a few minutes).
