Emma's Oat Pancakes (wheat, milk and soy free)

I am sure its hard to be a toddler, looking at your big sisters digging into a stack of Daddy's homemade pancakes and not being able to eat some because of food allergies/ intolerances. So, Eric came up with a pancake recipe for Emma. Since she does not have celiac's, she can tolerate oats.... this is a small recipe, it makes about 5 silver dollar sized toddler pancakes.

3 Tablespoons Rice Milk (I am sure regular milk or soy would work if you weren't allergic)
3 Tablespoons Oat Flour*
1/4 tsp Baking POwder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp sugar
little dash of salt
1/2 egg replacer (Ener-G)- though if need be 1/2 egg would work as well. We still have a huge box since she initially tested slightly positive for egg allergy. If you were making scrambled eggs, you could use part of that- then mix it in with the milk.

1. Mix dry ingredients
2. Add the milk
3. Let sit for 5 minutes
4. Cook as you would other pancakes

These pancakes aren't super light and flufffy and have a slightly nutty flavor... but they pass the toddler test! And they are among the limited amounts of non-fruit food items that go into Emma's mouth!

* I found that buying the oat flour from the bulk bins tends to be much cheaper than the fancy packaged kind in the organic/ gluten free section. That is the same for most specialty flours. In order to save on packaging and to get the amount I need, I have been buying lots of things in the bulk dry foods section: raisins, chocolate chips, dried currants, oats and quick oats. Wegman's section is in the organic food area and most everything is organic... which is a bonus. I also found a natural health food store that sells similar dry goods in bulk. You could bring your containers back and reuse them. Some stores have paper bags that are available and you could compost those.
