Why we love these oatmeal flour pancakes?

  • Fluffy and delicious 
  • Great breakfast or snack option 
  • These are healthy pancakes that are better than traditional pancakes as they are naturally sweetened with nutrient rich banana 
  • Made with simple ingredients 
  • Great for meal prep

We have different variations of pancakes with oat flour on the blog, like these blueberry oatmeal pancakes, spinach pancakes, beetroot pancakes and more. Or if you want something more decadent try oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. 

Ingredients

Labelled ingredients on a white background
  • Oat Flour: The star of the show, oats flour, provides a wholesome base packed with whole grains and a nutty flavor. It's a gluten-free alternative for those with dietary restrictions. You can make your own oats flour by blending oats until you have a flour-like consistency. 
  • Eggs: These serve as a crucial binding agent, contributing to the fluffiness of the pancakes.
  • Banana: Mashed banana not only adds natural sweetness but also enhances the moisture content, keeping the pancakes tender.
  • Almond Milk: A dairy-free choice that complements the oat flavor while ensuring a luscious, smooth batter.
  • Baking Powder: The leavening agent responsible for those airy, fluffy pancakes.
  • Cinnamon: For a hint of warmth and depth in flavor
  • Coconut Oil: For greasing the skillet. 

How to Make Pancakes with Oat Flour? 

Collage of process shots
  1. Blend all the ingredients in a high-speed blender for a short amount of time (20-30 secs depending on your blender strength). If you don't have a blender then whisk together the dry ingredients in one bowl (oats flour, baking powder, cinnamon). Whisk together the wet ingredients (mashed banana, milk and eggs) Fold dry mixture into wet mixture but don't overmix.
  2. Heat a medium skillet on high heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil. Once heated, bring the heat down to medium, take a tablespoon of batter and portion out 4 pancakes across the skillet and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sides are golden and have firmed.
  3. Flip them (they should flip super easily) and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Serve with some nut butter, fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup.

Additions

  • Nut Butter: Elevate your pancakes with a dollop of almond or peanut butter for an extra layer of richness.
  • Fruit Medley: Boost the freshness with an array of chopped strawberries, blueberries, or banana slices.
  • Chocolate Chips: Because who can resist the decadence of chocolate chips in their fluffy pancakes?

Variations

  • Keep the gluten- free - make sure you buy gluten-free oats or gluten-free oat flour
  • Make them vegan by using a flax eggs or chia eggs (for 1 egg mix a tablespoon of flaxseeds in 3 tablespoon of water and wait ten minutes until you have a gel like consistency and then use it as a substitute for egg in the recipe) 
  • Keep them dairy-free - you can use oat milk as suggested, or almond milk 
  • Add more sweetness - add another teaspoon of honey, pure maple syrup or regular sugar to the batter if you want them sweeter
  • Add mix ins - you can add chopped strawberries, blueberries or some nuts in the mix 
  • Add more flavors - we tried to keep these oat flour banana pancakes simple but you can add to the pancake batter some lemon juice, vanilla extract or nutmeg.

Storage

  • Fridge – place leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer – if you think you will be defrosting the fluffy oatmeal pancakes individually then place them one on top of the other and then separate them with parchment paper and then place them in an airtight container. Once defrosted, use within 24 hours.

Reheating from frozen

  • Reheat in the oven at 180°C / 350°F for about 5-10 min.
  • Reheat in toaster for 1 min on defrost setting
  • Reheat in microwave for about 15 sec on defrost setting (depending on the microwave)

FAQ Section

Can I use store-bought oat flour?

Yes, you can. If you don't have a food processor, opt for store-bought oats flour to simplify the process.

How do I make the batter fluffier?

Let the batter rest at room temperature for a little bit before cooking; this enhances the fluffiness of the pancakes.

Why are my oatmeal pancakes soggy?

Not enough flour. Add more flour until you have a thick consistency that is easy to spoon out. 

These Fluffy Oats Flour Pancakes are not just a meal but a delightful experience. They’re a great way to indulge in a favorite breakfast treat while still incorporating the goodness of whole grains and simple, wholesome ingredients. So, gather your ingredients and treat yourself to a stack of heavenly pancakes on your next breakfast adventure!
