2 tablespoons (28g) coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 c (100g) instant oats (measured like this and gluten-free if necessary)
⅛ teaspoon salt
¾ c (90g) whole wheat or gluten-free flour (measured like this)
Directions:
1. Add flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Whisk until well incorporated.

Feel free to use honey in exchange for maple syrup.
You can use margarine instead of butter or coconut oil.
Make sure that the eggs are at room temperature before mixing them.
