Oatmeal Pancakes – soft, light, fluffy, and wholesomely healthy!
Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes
Every now and then I will pack up a bag, drive to my parents’ house, and stay the night in my old bedroom, which is still intact with trophies, yearbooks, and stuffed animals from my childhood… oh, and bright turquoise walls with hot pink accents.
(Really, what was I thinking?)
This is what I did last weekend, driving over for an early family celebration since I’ll be out of town on my actual birthday this year. The weekend began with Saturday morning vegan oatmeal pancakes, homemade by my mom who got up extra early on her day off just because she knows I don’t sleep late.
It was nice to have someone else make me breakfast for a change, and the oatmeal pancakes were so filling and delicious.
P.S. Thanks, parents, for not turning my old room into a gym.
This easy oatmeal pancakes recipe can be vegan and gluten-free, and you can even make them the night before or freeze any leftover pancakes for another day. That is… on the rare chance there actually are any leftovers!

Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe
Oatmeal Pancakes – Whole Grain & Healthy
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp spelt, white, or oat flour (or here's a recipe for Flourless Pancakes)
- 6 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, honey, or agave OR 1/8 tsp uncut stevia
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp milk of choice (minus 3 tbsp if using liquid sweetener)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- optional, 1/2 tsp pure almond extract
- optional, handful chocolate chips or raisins
- optional, up to 2/3 cup blueberries if desired
Instructions
Oatmeal Pancakes Recipe: In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients. Pour dry into wet, and stir together to form a batter. (Note: if the batter is too thin–which might be the case especially if using cup measurements of ww pastry flour–just add a little more flour until you get a pancake-esque batter.) For fluffiest pancakes, let the batter sit in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Lightly grease a medium skillet, then place over medium heat. When pan is hot (see tip), drop small ladelfuls of batter onto the skillet. Flip pancakes, using a spatula, when the edges begin to look dry. Allow to cook one minute longer, then remove from heat. Serve with your favorite pancake toppings. TIP: Test the heat of your skillet by throwing a few drops of water onto the surface. When the water sizzles, the pan is ready for the pancake batter. Recipe makes about 20 small pancakes, the size of the ones in the photos (3-4 servings).

They look so yummy!!!
As always, yum, yum and yum with nutrition. I would like to feature your recipe as a pre-bikini special…many thanks
I recently discovered your blog.. I made these pancakes this morning and they are FANTASTIC! Thank-you so much 🙂 There are many other recipes I can’t wait to try!
I made these for breakfast and they were super wonderful. I think I am going to make up another batch tomorrow, they were that good.
We make these all the time! Love them!
I’m not even vegan and yet I love these oatmeal pancakes better than any non vegan pancake recipe I’ve tried. They are perfect with some maple syrup and peanut butter on top.
I’m halfway through making a batch of these and though I’m not having any today, my younger (11) sister says they’re amazing. I used 1 1/2 tsp of vinager to make them fluffier (which really worked) And since all in my family like real butter and don’t have much variety of oil, I used that and because of the heat of the pan it made brown butter, which I can imagine made them taste even nicer
Thanks for the great recipe 🙂
Thanks for the tip about using vinegar to make them fluffy! I did not know that.. Shall try it when I make these again
I am currently eating these pancakes! I thought it was strange there weren’t any eggs in the recipe. Did I miss something? I ended up adding one egg and the pancakes still turned out. I’d just like to note that for some reason I have NOT had any luck recently with pancake recipes and this one was great 🙂
so yummy! just made these for brekkie, I had mine with pb&j, delicious and so fluffy. thanks Katie, Freya
Very good recipe! I made these during the weekend and everyone at home loved them! They have such awesome taste that you don’t even need to top them with syrup 🙂
