Instructions
Blend your ½ cup of oats into a flour. Now coat the ½ cup of dates in the flour (so they won't make a mess) I show this in frame C of the images—blending your already ground flaxseed with this mixture is recommended.
Add half of the oat flour on the bottom of the spice grinder, then add the dates, then put the rest of the flour on top of the dates. Now pulse the grinder—like a heartbeat—until it isn't clumping then blend until it looks like frame D in the image (looks like coarse sand with flecks of amber). It should be a flour but if you blend too far it'll start to clump which is also fine.
Next mix all your spices well into your dry ingredients then add and mix your wet ingredients until a batter forms. Drop ping-pong-ball-sized balls of the batter into the center of your pan, with them all barely touching. Cook them on a medium to medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes you'll want to use your spoon or (damp) offset spatula to flip the whole thing. If the top has set you could just flip it onto a plate and slide it back into the pan, top-side down, but if not then the bottom should release easily from the seasoned pan with a spoon, slide it to the edge of the pan and use the spoon to flip it back over into the center. Cook 5 more minutes, then take it off the heat and let it rest for 1 minute, if you can, and enjoy!
