Start by adding 1/2 cup of oat flour into a large bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour to the bowl.

Mix in 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until well combined and set aside.

In a separate bowl, add 1 cup of Greek yogurt.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 eggs to the Greek yogurt.

If desired, substitute the 2 whole eggs with 1/2 cup of egg whites for lower fat and higher protein.

Add 3 tablespoons of milk to the wet ingredients and whisk together.

Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, creating a thick batter.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to the pan.

Once the butter has melted, scoop in about a scant 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving enough room in the pan for them to spread.

Cook the pancakes for about 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes on the first side, watching for the edges to round and set up.

Flip the pancakes once the edges are set and cook for another minute to a minute and a half until golden brown on both sides.

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, aiming for about 10 to 12 pancakes total.
