Better than traditional pancakes, picture these oat flour pancakes in all their glory: golden brown, fluffy, and stacked high on a plate with maple syrup- nothing beats it! I mean, is there really anything better than waking up on the weekend and the air being filled with the delicious smell of freshly cooked pancakes sizzling away on a hot griddle? It's the ideal weekend breakfast, however this recipe is so simple and healthy that you can easily have pancakes any day of the week.

Vegan, gluten free*, and refined sugar free, this is a healthy breakfast that will nourish your body while simultaneously taking you back to your childhood. It's a super easy, 30 minute breakfast that's perfect for meal prep, great for kids, and will easily satisfy any craving. If you're not vegan, these pair well with a side of bacon or sausage, but if you are vegan, a big bowl of fresh cut fruit is a wonderful addition. There is no better way to start your morning off, and once you make this recipe I can almost guarantee you won't need any other pancakes.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED FOR OAT FLOUR PANCAKES

ingredients for oat flour pancakes on a white backdrop labeled with black text.

Oat flour: I use Bob's Red Mill Certified Gluten Free. (Please use your own judgement if you feel comfortable eating oats if you have a gluten sensitivity.) You could also make your own oat flour, just make sure it's finely ground.

Arrowroot starch: This helps bind the oat flour together and form a nice batter

Coconut sugar: I use this to keep these pancakes refined sugar free, but you could also use regular sugar as well as monk fruit

Baking powder: This recipe calls for a full tablespoon, but that's what makes these pancakes so thick and fluffy

Almond milk: My favorite is Simply Almond because it only has two ingredients. You can replace the almond milk with any non-dairy milk though

Coconut oil: A healthy fat that helps keep the pancakes moist and tender. Can also be swapped with avocado or olive oil as well as melted vegan butter

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed.
  2. In a medium bowl combine oat flout, arrowroot starch, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk well.
  3. Next, pour the wet ingredients (almond milk and coconut oil) into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  4. Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes, then give it another stir to deflate it. Batter will still be very thick!
  5. Scoop ¼ cup of the batter into the preheated pan.
  6. Add any topping you desire immediately to the top of pancakes in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Pancakes are cooked when both sides are golden brown.
  7. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy

TOPPING IDEAS

You can really top these healthy pancakes with any of your favorite toppings, but here's a few other ideas you might want to try

  • Blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries, or really any fresh fruit
  • Chocolate chips (make sure they're vegan if needed)
  • Sprinkles
  • Sliced bananas
  • Pure maple syrup or honey *honey is not vegan*
  • Peach syrup
  • Peanut butter or almond butter

EXPERT TIPS

  • Read the entire recipe first
  • You can easily double this oat flour pancake recipe and meal prep breakfast for the week
  • Let the batter rest to hydrate the oat flour
  • While resting, the batter will rise significantly and look very fluffy, you want to give it a stir and deflate it for best results
  • Use oat milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk in place of the almond milk
  • Replace the coconut oil with avocado or olive oil
  • Add vanilla extract and cinnamon for extra flavor
  • If you want thinner pancakes add 2-3 more tablespoons of non-dairy milk

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I store leftover pancakes?

You can store leftover oat flour pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze them in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.

What is the best way to reheat them?

I like to reheat in the toaster (if they don't have any add ins) or in the microwave.

Can I substitute the oat flour with all purpose flour?

No, this recipe is specifically designed to be made with oat flour. All purpose flour has a different consistency and would absorb more moisture in this recipe and would result in gummy pancakes.

*If you have a gluten sensitivity please use your judgement as to whether or not oats are safe for you to eat. Some people struggle with oats even if they're considered gluten free because of cross contamination.

    I made these with blueberries in them, and they’re my new favorite recipe! Probably the thickest, fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had. My new go-to along with Nicole’s chocolate pancakes!
