These Gluten-Free Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes are soft and fluffy, slightly chewy and nutty, and perfectly sweet. They taste like Oatmeal Cookies, are made without flax eggs, aquafaba,bananas, chia eggs or applesauce, and are refined sugar free too. They're really easy to make as they come together in one bowl, are ready in 25 minutes, and there's no blender or aquafaba required! They make a filling and satisfying breakfast, snack or dessert, and leftovers can be reheated easily in a frying pan or the toaster.
How to make this recipe
Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.
- Mix together all the ingredients in aglass mixing bowl- no need to sift the flours!
Tip: Cook the pancakes as soon as possible after making the batter, otherwise the oats will soak up liquid and the batter will become too thick!
- Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a frying pan (non-stick is best) and add a few tablespoons of the pancake batter.
Tip:Control the amount of oil you use by using a spray-on oil or rubbing a piece of greased kitchen paper over the bottom of the frying pan – too much oil will make the pancakes ragged at the edges, and too little will make them hard to flip over.
- Cook on a low-medium heat for a few minutes until you see little bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake.
- Flip over and cook for another few minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Tip: Use a spatulatoflip over the pancakes.
- Repeat for the rest of the batter - makes around 8pancakes.
