Stir in the rolled oats and baking powder. Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to allow the oats to soften. Combine dry and wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour (if using) and then gently fold it into the oat mixture. Be careful not to overmix. Whisk egg whites: In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the oat mixture using a large spoon or spatula. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the pancakes tough. Cook the pancakes: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Cook the pancakes: Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip the pancakes when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Keep warm: As the pancakes are cooked, you can keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 90°C) if desired. Place the cooked pancakes on a plate and cover them loosely with foil or a clean kitchen towel. Prepare the berry sauce (optional): If making the berry sauce, combine the blueberries, raspberries, and 1 tablespoon of sweetener in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. For a smoother sauce, press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates and top with the fresh berries. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sweetener. Drizzle with the optional berry sauce, if desired. Tips: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. Use any combination of fresh or frozen berries you like. If you don't have almond milk, you can use regular milk, soy milk, or another plant-based milk. For a richer flavor, you can use melted butter instead of cooking spray. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup for added deliciousness. Enjoy your fluffy oat pancakes
