You could try using a different liquid sweetener of choice like rice malt syrup or date syrup in replacement of the maple syrup, however the texture, colour and level of sweetness may be vary slightly to how the recipe has been developed.
You can make your own oat flour by simply blending/grinding oats in a blender or food processor until it turns into a fine, flour texture. For this recipe I made the oat flour using rolled oats, but you can also use plain quick/instant oats instead (the overall cooking time of this recipe may vary if you make the flour using quick oats as they are more processed.)
Oats are technically a gluten free wholegrain however they are usually processed in the same facility as other grains and products that contain gluten, so most companies have to label ‘may contain gluten’ if there is possibility for cross contamination for legal purposes. If the oats/oat flour you use are certified GF then yes it will be gluten free.

This sounds good but the proportion of flour to laid seems high. My batter is super dry. Is it really supposed to be 4 cups of flour? Is the batter consistency supposed to be dry?
Thank you
Hi Celina! Yes 4 cups of flour is correct, are you using oat flour (homemade or store-bought)? Hmmm no the batter shouldn’t be too dry, assuming you have baked it already by now how did it turn out? Hope it worked out well for you in the end!
