I made these because I had run out of eggs, but still wanted pancakes. The batter seemed really runny (it's 1/2 milk) but don't let that fool you, it turns out great. There are absolutely delicious and so easy to make!

These were excellent! I loved them. I couldn't find ground flax seed though, and had no equipment on hand to grind them myself, so I bashed up a bunch of whole flax seeds with a spoon. I enjoyed the seedy chunks it left me with, and anyways, who cares if the flax is done right, as long as it's there! So healthy and yummy.

I really liked these. I followed the recipe exactly, but used chocolate soy milk. I thought this made for a nice "double chocolate" pancake. As someone else noted, batter is thin, but I think it needs to be in order for the pancakes to cook through.

These pancakes are lovely! I was skeptical to try this after reading reviews but needed an egg and wheat-free pancake. I was pleasantly surprised! I had to change quite a bit because of what I had on hand and the fact that I was cooking for a wheat, egg, and soy allergy. I used the whole oats as specified in the recipe. I didn't have any flax so I ground more oats and used that in place of the flax. I also couldn't use wheat flour so I used brown rice flour in place of the pastry flour. I then used a scant cup of 2% milk mixed with a scant 1/2 cup of fresh whipping cream in place of the soy milk. I made them small because of some of the comments about not cooking well - I had no problem - they cooked up beautiful! I served them with my homemade banana topping and fresh whipped cream - yummmm! Next time I will try half the amount of salt because I thought they were quite salty.

YUM! We just had these for breakfast and they were great! I had to substitute 1/4 cup whole wheat flour because I only had a half cup of oats and I had to use cow's milk because we were out of soy, but they were great. My 3 year old and one year old loved them. Thanks for the great recipe!

These were very tasty. I had some trouble with the pancakes sticking, but I suspect it was due to the alternate flours I used -- rice flour plus 1 tsp guar gum. Also, to anyone else who thinks substituting oat flour for the rolled oats is a good idea: plan to add 4 cups of liquid!!! Difficulties aside, they were tasty, the kids enjoyed them. Thanks!
