1 and 3/4 cup oat bran – if you don’t have oat bran just blend normal oats
1.5 tablespoons xylitol – or any sweetener of choice
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk – or milk substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

In a separate bowl combine the milk, oil, eggs, vanilla & apple cider vinegar.

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients & stir until combined. Do not over mix.

Let the mixture stand for 5-7 minutes in order to thicken.

Spray a pan with spray & cook and place on medium heat. Spoon portions of the batter onto the pan & wait for bubbles to form before you flip.

Serve with whatever you’re feeling e.g. banana, macadamia butter, toasted almonds, blueberries, coconut chips, coconut cream, maple syrup
