Instructions

Place the oats in a food processor and process to a fine texture.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and use a whisk to beat them well.
Add the pumpkin spice and oats, and whisk again.
Pour in the milk, and beat to a smooth texture.
Set the batter aside for 15 minutes, to allow the batter to thicken.
Heat up a frying pan or griddle pan on a low to medium heat, add a spoonful of batter, flattening it up in a circle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start appearing on the surface, then flip it over to the other side and cook for a further 1 minute.
Repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter is used up, I got 15 pancakes.

Notes

You don't need to but oat flour for this recipe, porridge oats or jumbo oats work just fine, as long as they are blended in a food processor or blender for a fine texture.
Allowing the batter to rest is crucial, as this thickens the batter and makes the pancakes fluffy. If the batter is runny, the pancakes will be flat and tough.
The pancakes can be frozen too, just allow them to cool down completely, then place them in a freezer-friendly bag, separating each pancake with non-stick paper. Reheat in a toaster, frying pan or microwave.
