Easy Oatmeal Pancakes (3 ingredients)

Jump to Recipe

These easy oatmeal pancakes (oat flour pancakes) come together with only 3 ingredients. Yep, that’s it. I enjoy making a big batch of these healthy pancakes on weekends. It saves me so much time and energy in the kitchen when I have a healthy breakfast that’s already made.

I suggest experimenting with flavors you love to make this vegan oat pancakes recipe your own just as I’ve done. Depending on what you like you can add bananas, apple sauce, vanilla extract, or yogurt to the pancake mix. Options are truly endless.

Watch me make these 3-ingredient oatmeal pancakes

Are oat pancakes healthier than traditional pancakes?

Yes, although it depends on the ingredients used while making the pancakes. Traditional pancakes are made with white flour, eggs, butter, oil, and artificial sugars. You can opt-out of some or all these (previously mentioned) ingredients by using oat flour, vegan butter, skipping the eggs, maple syrup, or homemade berry jam. And make much healthier pancakes at home.

Why are my vegan pancakes gummy?

If you do not let the batter rest, overmix the batter, cook too quickly, or do not make the batter thick enough could all be reasons your vegan pancakes may come out gummy.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats in pancakes?

Yes, I used steel-cut oats for this recipe. It is my experience that steel-cut oats hold together much better than rolled oats.

Can you put oats in pancake mix?

Yes, I find it easier to make oat flour for making these delicious pancakes.

Simple ingredients for these oatmeal pancakes

  • Oat flour (sub for any flour of your choice)
  • Cinnamon
  • Non-Dairy Milk (I typically use almond milk)
oat flower, cinnamon , and almond milk for oatmeal pancakes

Benefits of Cinnamon

I love adding cinnamon to my cooking. I feel as if I don’t see cinnamon enough in recipes. It’s an easy way to spice up a recipe. Also, there are some great health benefits to adding cinnamon to your lifestyle. 

  • Lowers blood sugar levels
  • Packed with antioxidants
  • It helps reduce the risk of heart disease

Common Questions about Oat Flour Pancakes

Can oat flour be used for pancakes?

Yes, I suggest using steel-cut or rolled oats for this recipe. Both work perfectly for this recipe.

Can I substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour?

Yes, you can substitute oat flour for all-purpose flour to make pancakes.

How do you make healthy pancakes with oat flour?

Use simple high-quality ingredients to make healthy pancakes. Check out the recipe ingredients below for more details.

How do you make fluffy oatmeal pancakes?

There are a few ways to make these pancakes fluffy. I’ve listed some of my favorite tips below!

Buttermilk: Add 1.5 tsp vinegar (or lemon juice) to your non-dairy milk and stir well. Let it sit to curdle for approximately 5 minutes. 
Baking Powder or Baking soda: Both are leavens. They create the bubbles you see in pancake batter. They both work to make pancakes fluff, light, and brown. However, most of the rise comes from baking powder. 
Let the batter rest: Once the batter is ready, I always let it rest for about 5 minutes. This will help the baking powder/baking soda to get activated. 

How to make oatmeal pancakes

  1. Add your oats to a blender or food processor and blend (or pulse) until your oatmeal forms a coarse flour. 
  2. Next, add your oat flour to a small bowl along with cinnamon and non-dairy milk. Combine the mixture until it forms a batter.
  3. Preheat a large pan over medium-high heat. If your pan isn’t non-stick, add a small bit of oil, and when hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan and let it cook. Flip when the top of the oat flour pancakes is bubbly or the edge of the pancakes turns golden brown for about 2-3 minutes. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Top with maple syrup, fruit, or desired toppings, and enjoy!

How to store and reheat leftover oat flour pancakes

Fridge: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 5 days. To reheat, add them to a nonstick pan over medium heat until warmed through. About 1 minute on each side. Alternatively, reheat them in the microwave or toaster. 

Freezer: Place pancakes spread out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until frozen (this will prevent them from sticking together). Then transfer the pancakes to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat place them in a toaster, toaster oven, or microwave until warmed through.

    I’ve always loved oatmeal and pancakes separately, put them together and you get a new breakfast staple.
