I use almost a whole avocado in this recipe so the avocado flavor will be definitely there. Otherwise, the pancakes are made mostly of oats, so these pancakes will derive most of the texture from them. Oatmeal has a neutral (somewhat even bland) flavor on its own, with some earthy and "whole grain" like notes. For me, it's the texture of the oats that make these pancakes enjoyable. The ground oats provide a chewy texture and also do a terrific job of holding a lot of moisture within the pancakes.
