1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
¼ cup winter squash (Pureed. Can be found in the freezer aisle next to the frozen spinach)
2 tablespoons sugar (or honey)
2 teaspoons baking powder

7
Overmixing will make a tough pancake.
8
Set bowl aside for at least 10 minutes.
9
The oats need some time to get soft and incorporate well into the batter.
10
In the meantime, turn on a griddle to 325 degrees or a large skillet to about medium heat.
11
Apply a thin layer of oil to the griddle or skillet.
12
(I pour a blob of oil on there and then wipe gelty with a paper towel so there is just a thin film left).
13
Stir the batter gently a couple of times to redistribute the oats in the batter and pour pancake batter onto preheated griddle with a scant 1/4 cup measure.
14
When small bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, it's time to flip (about 2 or 3 minutes per side).
15
Serve with maple syrup or any other yummy pancake topping.
16
To avoid sugar, try peanut butter or cream cheese.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
