» HOW TO MEASURE
1 Lay the item to be cut firmly on the cuing board, first trimming a thin slice from one side if needed to rest it flat.
1 Cut the item to be diced in half. Lay each half, cut side down, on the cuting board.
2 Holding the item to be cut with curled fingers to keep fingertips safe, slice with the knife blade perpendicular to the cuing board.
2 Cut each half into even slices the same width as your intended dice, working lengthwise if the item is long.
3 Slice the food while resting the flat side of the knifeblade gently against your knuckles, allowing them to guide the width of your slices.
3 Cut the long slices into lengthwise strips, then turn and cut crosswise into dice.
Spoon dry ingredients into a flat-toppedmeasuring cup until mounded on top. Using the back of a knife, sweep off the excess level with the rim of the cup.
Check liquid measurements at eye level to ensure accuracy.
» HOW TO CHOP
1 Grasping the handle of the knife with one hand, hold the tip of the knife against the board with the other hand.
2 Keeping the knife tip steady,raise the handle up and down in a chopping motion.
3 As you move the handle up and down, sweep the knife back and forth in a slow arc until the ingredient is chopped as desired.

» OAT FLOUR lends texture and protein to these satisfying pancakes. If you can’t find oat flour at the market, you can make it by finely grinding old-fashioned rolled oats in a food processor.
Banana-Oatmeal Pancakes
MAKE THE BATTER
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the oats, maple syrup, egg, milk, vanilla, and coconut oil and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
COOK THE PANCAKES
Heat a large frying pan or stove-top griddle over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/teaspoons coconut oil,and when it melts, spread it evenly over the surface of the pan with a spatula. Using a large ice cream scoop, drop a scoopful of the batter into the hot pan for each pancake, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Reduce the heat to medium and place afew banana slices on top of each pancake. Cook until theedges startto firm up andturn goldenand bubbles appear on thesurface, 2–3 minutes. Using the spatula, flip the pancakes, reduce theheat to low, and cook until the second side is golden brown, 1–2 minutes longer. Be careful not to let the bananas burn, adding more coconut oil to the pan if theystart to scorch before the pancake is cooked through. Using the spatula, transfer the pancakes toa plate and keep warm. Repeatwith the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.
SERVE THE PANCAKES
Put the remaining bananas, raspberries, and pecans in separate serving bowls. Servethe pancakes piping hot withmaple syrup, bananas, raspberries, and pecans for adding atthe table.
