There's these:

or something like the MKS touring pedals.

But really my honest advice would be to embrace the clip ins and get a pair of look keos.

may i ask why you want flat pedals? If you are intending to use toe clips, clipless are safer. If you have a medical reason fine, if it is because you are concerned about being clipped in, don't worry about it, it is much better to be clipped in on a road bike, particularly when climbing.
