Oat Flour Pancakes
Oat flour pancakes are soft, fluffy and so easy to make. The perfect healthy breakfast, these pancakes are lightly sweetened and great for a quick and easy breakfast everyone is sure to love. Freezer friendly and great for meal prep too. This recipe is gluten free and dairy free.
Preheat the skillet over medium to medium high heat (300F).
If needed, make the oat flour by blending oats in a blender 1-2 minutes.
Combine the wet ingredients in a large bowl (dairy free milk, yogurt, eggs, maple syrup). Stir well until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients (oat flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients. Stir well to combine. Let the pancake batter rest 2-3 minutes.
If you have the time, make a practice pancake. Turn the heat down on the skillet to medium. Spray the skillet with avocado oil, olive oil, melted butter or melted ghee. Portion out 1/4 cup of batter. Cook 2-3 minutes until the pancake starts to bubble at the top. Carefully flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. If needed, add more liquid to thin out the batter or add 1-2 tablespoons additional oat flour or let the batter rest longer to thicken.
Once you have determined that the batter is the perfect consistency, make the rest of the pancakes. You likely will need to do this in batches. Cook 2-3 minutes until the pancakes start to bubble on top, then flip and cook 2-3 more minutes. Note: you can keep pancakes warm by placing them in a 200F oven in a casserole dish (covered with a lid) or wrapped in foil.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Notes
Top tips
Be sure to preheat your skillet before pouring the pancake batter. This helps ensure the pancakes cook evenly and don't stick.
Use a large spatula to flip the pancakes. They are fragile but can easily be flipped with a large spatula.
If you are unsure about the consistency of the batter, make a small pancake first. This way you are not wasting all your ingredients if the batter isn't quite right.
To make these oat flour pancakes gluten free, be sure to use an oat flour that is labeled gluten free.
If you are making a large batch and need the pancakes to stay warm, preheat the oven to 200F and place the pancakes in a casserole dish with a lid (or wrap the pancakes in foil). This helps ensure the pancakes don't dry out when keeping warm in the oven.
Mix-ins
Frozen blueberries (add these at the last minute and make sure they are frozen so they don’t turn the batter purple).
