Oatmeal is one of America's favorite breakfast choices for a reason. Not only is it easy to adjust the flavor to your liking, but it is also packed with protein, full of good-for-you fiber, and balances blood sugar so you feel great all morning.

As comforting and cozy as a bowl of oatmeal can be, everyone likes to change things up once in a while and these pancakes using oat flour are one of my favorite ways to switch things up at breakfast.

If you have a food processor, oats and a few kitchen staples on hand you can make this oat flour pancake recipe in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients for Pancakes with Oat Flour

My favorite thing about this recipe is that it uses ingredients I always have on hand.

Ingredients to make pancakes with oat flour on the table.
  • Oats: I use a food processor and grind mine fresh. Alternatively, you can use oat flour.
  • Baking Powder: Helps the pancakes rise to light and fluffy goodness.
  • Brown Sugar: Just like my oatmeal in a bowl, I love to add just a bit of brown sugar for sweetness.
  • Salt: A pinch is all you need!
  • Eggs: This helps keep the pancakes together. See alternatives below.
  • Vanilla: You can skip this but I really think it takes the flavor to the next level.
  • Milk: Keeps the pancakes moist and creamy.

See recipe card further down the page for exact quantities of each ingredient.

You will also need some butter, cooking spray or oil for cooking the pancakes. This will help the batter from sticking to the cooking unit.

Substitutions

While this recipe is pretty simple, there are substitutions you can make if you have dietary restrictions.

  • Brown Sugar: If you are watching your sugar levels, give this brown monk fruit sweetener a try. Alternatively, you can use white granulated sugar instead.
  • Eggs: You can use an egg replacer or simple flax egg as a binder for this recipe if needed.
  • Milk: You can use any kind of milk for this recipe. Try dairy, plant based or even oat milk!

Equipment

Another great thing about this recipe is that you really don't need any fancy equipment to make it. All you need is:

  • Food Processor (only if you are grinding your own oats)
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Mixing Spoons or an electric mixer
  • Griddle or Frying Pan
  • Spatula

Instructions

To make oat flour pancakes from scratch, start by making your oat flour. It's as easy as blending up your oats in a food processor until desired texture is reached, but if you need more details you can check out my complete guide here.

Mixing together the dry ingredients to make oat flour pancakes.

Once you have your oat flour blended, mix all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. It's important to fully incorporate the baking powder throughout the flour. You can use a spoon or a whisk to do this.

Next, add the milk and eggs and mix until fully incorporated. You can use a spoon or electric mixer for this step but be careful not to over mix.

Cooking oat flour pancakes on a griddle.

Preheat your griddle or skillet to 375 degrees or medium heat.

Apply cooking spray, butter or oil to the griddle or pan and use a measuring cup to pour about ¼ cup circles onto the cooking unit.

If you are using a griddle, you will be able to make several at a time. In a frying pan, you may have to cook in rounds. Either way, it is important to make sure there is adequate cooking space in between the circles.

Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles in the batter pop and don't fill back in.

Flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for 2 more minutes.

You can adjust cooking times to your preferred level of doneness.

Variations

There is nothing like classic oatmeal pancakes with butter and syrup. But if you are looking to change things up, try these add-ins!

  • Berries - just like oatmeal, these fluffy pancakes are great with blueberries, strawberries and blackberries
  • Banana - once in a while, I love adding smashed banana to my batter for a kiss of extra sweetness
  • Chocolate Chips - literally tastes like an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie
  • Peanut Butter- a MUST try with the banana or the chocolate chips!

Storage

I love to make a big batch of this oat flour pancake recipe in advance for easy breakfast on busy mornings.

Once the pancakes are cooked, you refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for 1 month.

To reheat, simply warm them in the toaster or microwave.

Expert Tips and FAQS

  • Try making your own fresh oat flour by using a food processor to grind rolled oats.
  • The optimal cooking temperature for pancakes is 375 degrees.
  • Make a double batch to meal prep for the week.
What if my batter is too thick?

You can add more milk until the batter reaches desired consistency.

What if my batter is too thin?

You can add just a bit more oat flour to thicken things up a bit.

How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?

Pancakes are done cooking when the bubbles in the batter pop and do not fill in. Alternatively, you can use a spatula to peek underneath and flip when they reach the desired level of doneness.

How to serve oat flour pancakes?

I love enjoying these with butter and maple syrup. But, just like regular pancakes, there are a million ways to enjoy them! Try adding fruit, peanut butter, whipped cream, chocolate chips...the possibilities are endless.

Are oat flour pancakes healthy?

Yes! Oat flour pancakes are loaded with fiber and protein. They help balance your blood sugar so you feel full longer. As long as you are mindful of your add-ins, this oat flour pancake recipe is a great healthy breakfast option.

Are oat flour pancakes gluten-free?

Yes! As long as you are using certified gluten-free oats, this recipe is naturally gluten-free!
