How to Store Fluffy Oat Flour Pancakes

FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of oat flour?
Yes, you can use regular flour, but the pancakes will not be gluten-free.
2. How can I make these pancakes vegan?
You can replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water per egg) and use plant-based milk.
