In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder. Mix well and set aside.
2
In a blender, combine the rice milk (or soy milk), pure honey, fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, eggs (or egg whites), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, ensuring the honey is fully incorporated.
3
Pour the blended liquid ingredients into the bowl with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix—some lumps are okay.
