The ingredients that go into my oatmeal bowl got turned into this stack of gluten-free, super Easy Oatmeal Pancakes!
**This post for Easy Oatmeal Pancakes was originally published in January 2014. I made edits to the photos and updated the recipe card to make a whole stack instead of just three! However, the written words below in this post remain the same.**
I ADORE Oats...
Rolled or Steel Cut, baked or boiled...
To me, they are pretty marvelous!
Recently, even my daughter has started to lean toward oats instead of other breakfast choices - and as a parent, it sure warms my heart!
She is FINALLY choosing what I have been eating instead of turning up her nose and protesting its existence!
Did I tell you, I adore oats?
Mostly, I have them in a bowl...
Sometimes, in a bar
Aaaannnd... recently - in PANCAKES!!!
The same ingredients that make up my morning oat bowls, went into these pancakes, only in slightly different quantities.
Unfortunately, my quantities resulted in only 3 pancakes, and, for some reason, basic math fractions were forgotten about when it came to dividing these rounds of deliciousness up between the two of us!
You would think two people who are pretty good with their math skills would be able to figure out that each of our plates should have 1.5 - right?
But, before I could take a picture of a forkful, two of these pancakes were on my daughters plate - leaving me with one.
Whaaaaaaatttttt????
After an intense round of dueling forks, where pieces of these pancakes were flicked to the floor ...and, subsequently, into my dog's belly, we finally called a truce and settled on finishing these in peace - while shooting each other the stank eye!
Now...
It's your turn to play dueling forks with someone - over a set of these marvelous oatty pancakes!
Then please let me know how marvelous you think they are!
I used whipped cream, golden syrup and raspberries to top mine - these pancakes have no sugar in them - so please feel free to add 2 tablespoons if you feel the need for sweeter pancakes, but, with syrup, you really won't miss the sugar at all.
Easy Gluten Free Oatmeal Pancakes
The ingredients that go into my oatmeal bowl got turned into this stack of gluten-free, super Easy Oatmeal Pancakes!

Yes!! Just the recipe I've been waiting for. Writing it down right now =)
Shashi
Thanks Jessie!
Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl
Super yummy recipe, love the idea of oatmeal pancakes! I haven't had homemade pancakes in a few months but that's about to change this week! Have a great upcoming week!
Shashi
I had been shying away from pancakes for a few weeks, opting for easy and HOT oats, but change is good right?
Thank you Pamela.
Shani
Tried this six years later in 2020!Still the best recipe I’ve tried yet!i added some cardamom and abit of honey..these don’t even taste like regular oats!thankyou for this recipe!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
There you go taunting me with that delicious bowl of oats again… and pancakes?! Girlllll… great minds definitely think alike! I've been loving my oat pancakes lately, although I'm usually making them for dinner because flipping takes too much coordination early in the morning.
Happy Monday, lovely lady! I hope your week is full of oaty, peanut buttery, and chocolatey goodness <3
Shashi
Hehe - I know what you mean! I have a confession though, sometimes I make extra pancakes so there are pancakes for the next morning and the next 🙂 Usually, this only happens in the summer, when I don't need a bowl of oats to keep me warm in the morn.
Hope your week is off to a wonderful start <3
Ash-foodfashionparty
Those are some of the fluffiest pancakes I've seen and it's healthy, you did it again.
I really enjoy using oats too in my pancakes and muffins and I cannot wait to try this. My boys would love it and with almond butter yummmmm..Have a great and beautiful week ahead my dear.
Pinning this.
Shashi
Thanks so much Asha! YES - the almond butter made these taste like my bowl of oats!!!
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella
I love oatmeal too! We always seem to run out of it too as we eat it so much! 😀
Shashi
Me too, I feel like I am buying a container every week! 🙂
Dani @FoodRecipesHQ (@FoodRecipesHQ)
I adore oats too! I put them everywhere especially in my smoothie. I still have to try oatmeal pancakes... I'm more than intrigued now!
Shashi
Dani - I have not tried putting oats in my smoothies - now, I am intrigued 🙂
Jan @ Sprouts n Squats
What a delicious looking recipe! I love me some oats too 🙂
Shashi
Thanks so much Jan - glad you are back!
Curry and Comfort
I also love oats. I try to add it into a lot of dishes... just learned it's good in smoothies. 🙂 These pancakes look lovely! I shall have to make an extra large batch... my kids dual forks over who gets what all the time.
Shashi
Thank you so much!
Oh my - I thought about acting like the mom and not play dueling forks,but that moment passed quick 😉
Ksenija @ With An Open Mind
First Amanda and now you. Dammit I really crave some pancakes, but it's too much fuss in the morning for me and I bought all these interesting French foods to try, that I feel bad if I whip up something new before using them up... on the list, on the list. I hope I can make them for a weekend brinner!
Shashi
I hope you can make them for a weekend brinner too - when you have finished all your French goodies 🙂
Davida @The Healthy Maven
oat flour is the key to delicious pancakes I tell ya! Currently munching on some now!
Shashi
Davida - I know right! I need to see if Costco has buckets of oats as I am going through them at an alarming rate!
Bianca @ Confessions of a Chocoholic
i don't think I've had oatmeal pancakes before but it sounds like something I would really like!
Shashi
Bianca, if you like oats and like pancakes then you will be hooked - hope you get a chance to try these 🙂
suzanne
Love the idea of oatmeal pancakes, wonder if my blender will grind the oats fine enough so it becomes flour. Must try these they look fluffy and delicious.
Shashi
Thanks Suzanne. I have a cheapo-no-name blender and it ground up the oats to a flour so hope yours works too.
suzanne
Well hopefully mine will do it, going to make these tomorrow. Have a very busy day and these will be a really good breakfast for me. Will let you know how I do.
Shashi
I hope they turn out well - I would so love to know your take on them.
suzanne
They turned out great, I used regular cows milk instead of almond milk because thats what I had, added some blueberries. YUM, delicious pancakes, actually prefer to those made with wheat flour. Great recipe will be using this over and over again. Want to adapt to make waffles too!
Shashi
Suzanne thats awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know - I thought of you this morning and even checked your blog to see if you posted bout it. So so glad you liked them and it made my day to hear you will be making these again - THANK YOU!
suzanne
I ate and ran and didn't have time to snap photo's and blog about it. I will though they are outstanding.
Shashi
No worries - I was just wondering bout how they turned up - now that I know you liked em - I am happy 🙂
Hope your day is going well. Thanks again for letting me know.
Asmita (@FoodieAsmita)
Love oats too! Loving these pancakes. I used to make pancakes with oats and had forgotten about them. Thanks for reminding me.
Shashi
Thanks Asmita - and you are welcome!
Lady Lilith
Nice. It is almost like an oatmeal cookie only for breakfast.
Shashi
Oatmeal cookies sound BRILLIANT! Thanks Lady Lilith 🙂
Miss Polkadot
Pancakes worth a mum-and-daughter fight?! These have to be good! How about pretending you hadn't lost the fight but just being a selfless mum leaving the best for your daughter :)?!
I'm actually not a pancake person but your bowl of oatmeal really caught my eye. What's in there? Topped with just the right amount of nut butter and chocolate chips it looks almost too naughty for breakfast. Almost. Because breakfast obviously just is another term for dessert time.
Shashi
Hehe - yes, I like your though process - yes, selfless was what I was being 😉
And breakfast IS another term for dessert! BRILLIANT!
The bowl of oats had oats cooked in almond milk, salt, cinnamon, vanilla protein powder, all topped with peanut butter and chocolate -in it.
[email protected] Minougirl
These look FABULOUS!! I need to make them soon!
Shashi
Thanks Leigha! I sure hope you do 🙂
Ashley
I am completely obsessed with oats of any kind too - they are the best! Love the sound of these pancakes - I can see why you two would be fighting for the last bite! : )
Shashi
Hehe - Thanks so much Ashley!
Kelly
I love oats in any form and these pancakes look absolutely mouthwatering Shashi! They are totally worth fighting over for!:) I love the way you draped the almond butter and honey over these too! Pinning and can't wait to try this 🙂 Yum!!
Shashi
Thanks Kelly - the almond butter lent so much to the taste of these pancakes! That and the honey - there's no sugar in these pancakes,so the honey complemented these well.
Kim
These look good - I've been waiting for the recipe and it didn't disappoint!!
Bummer that you made them and only got 1 - oh, wait- kid(s) vs mom!!!
Shashi
Kim - I am proud to say I got 1.25 ! Oh yeah! 🙂
I was going off of what I put in my oats and was too lazy to make more, but next time I know to double the quantities.
[email protected]
These pancakes look so fabulous with that almond butter and honey on top. Yum! I'm going to be eating gluten free for the next few weeks and these will be perfect!
Shashi
Thanks Christin! I forgot to mention these were gluten free! Thanks for reminding me!
Erin (@LawStudentsWife)
Yay! I've been waiting for this pancake recipe. I know these would keep me so full and happy 🙂
Shashi
Thanks Erin! Yup, they sure did deliver on the keeping full part - we forgot to eat lunch that day!
Arman @ thebigmansworld
HELLO!!!!!
Stoked to see you move past oats and go for the 'cakes. What a marvelous recipe indeed 😉 Make a quadruple batch and see the obsession start!
Shashi
Arman - I made some banana nut pancakes the other day - clearly, I am not myself! 🙂
Matt @ Runner Savvy
These look delicious!
Shashi
Thanks Matt!
Vicky and Ruth - May I Have That Recipe?
No wonder you have a little "fight" over this pancakes, they are so healthy and look delicious!
Julie
Oatmeal pancakes are the best. I stopped eating regular oatmeal because of them!
Mike @TheIronYou
Those look great Shash, but you should have said "Serve with almond butter AND honey AND jelly AND pancake syrup AND..."
😉
Denise [email protected] Brazil To You
I love oats as well, Shashi! I would love to make mine with oats like these ones, which are much healthier than regular pancakes. Have an awesome week! xx
consuelohoneyandfigs
I'd fight over these too haha. They look too good!
Do you think that it'd work if I didn't grind the oats? I want to try them, but I don't feel like washing the blender afterwards. Too lazy, I know hahaha ;--)
Eva @ Eva Bakes
I love that this only makes ONE pancake. I hate whipping up a batch of pancakes and then only eating some of them (I forget about the ones I freeze). Looks yummy!
Tara
Nom nom nom, I am not normally a fan of pancakes but these look amazing! I would also be dueling forks if I was your daughter. 😉
If I can just reach into my screen and grab a chocolate chip, then I will be a very happy girl.
Juliana
Wow, if I had not seen the pictures of this oat pancakes I would not believe that they are so light and fluffy...they look gorgeous. I love the idea of topping it with almond butter.
Have a wonderful week Shashi 😀
Stacy | Wicked Good Kitchen
Girl, you've got it goin' on! Love, love, love this post for all sorts of reasons. There's oats, there's chocolate and peanut butter. And, pancakes! There's even mother-daughter love...and dueling forks. Thanks you for sharing, m'lady! xo
Melanie @ Carmel Moments
I really really wish I could say I adored oats. Can you rub a little of that off on me? 🙂 These pancakes do look might good though!
Cindy
Oh my goodness!! i love oatmeal. Can't get enough of it and love it in just about everything. These pancakes look delicious. I would be fork fighting to get me some of these 😀
Nicole @ Work in Sweats Mama
The pancakes look delicious, but I want some of that bowl and bar, please! Oats and chocolate together is pretty much heaven on earth!
Shashi
Thanks Nicole!
Yes, oats and chocolate area marriage made in heaven!
Bill
Now that's a delicious looking plate of pancakes. And so healthy too! Of course I would slather them in butter and maple syrup which defeats the purpose. I'm so wanting these pancakes right now! Delicious!!!
Shashi
Thanks Bill - I wish I had thought of maple syrup! Next time for sure 🙂
Krystle Smith
Those look amazing. I need to start my day off with a healthy breakfast or I'll just eat badly the rest of the day. These look like a great option.
Shashi
Thanks so much Krysle - these pancakes kept me so full - I was'nt hungry till evening!
Fig & Quince
Found you via Suzanne and wanted to say hi. I can finally put my oats to a good use!
Shashi
Thank you so much for stopping by! I sure would love to hear your take on these if you make them 🙂
Shikha la mode
Need those pancakes!
Shashi
They were good Shika - thank you for stopping by 🙂
Aimee / Wallflower Girl
Definitely trying these - sounds right up my street! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Charles
Mm, my wife made some of these before (though without the spice) so I can attest to them being delicious and definitely something worth fighting over. Good call on the adding of the spices - bet that kicks it up a notch!
Stephanie
I bet these are just delicious!!
Shashi
Thank you Stephanie - they so were, but I might be a tad bit biased!
tableofcolors
The pancakes look wonderful! I will definitely have to give them a try! I have been making pancaking using almond meal, mashed bananas and eggs. Dairy, sugar and gluten free and the best thing is that the kids love them!
Shashi
Thanks so much!
I made some similar to yours, I added nuts too and my daughter polished her plate...I am beginning to think I could disguise anything in pancake form andshe will eat it - maybe kale pancakes should be next? 😉
tableofcolors
I think kale might work chopped up fine in a savory crepe...I make spinach crepes for my kids and they love them! 🙂
Marie
Oats are so good! These pancakes looks so delicious. I have all the ingredients in the pantry right now so I need to make these ASAP!
Linda @ With A Blast
This looks like my kind of pancake as I also love using oatmeal in just about everything (even meatballs!) And I love that you use Almond milk !
Bintu | Recipes From A Pantry
These look great! I love an oatmeal pancake sometimes for breakfast - you just can't beat pancakes as a breakfast dish
Emily
I have never tried making pancakes with oat befores but what a great idea, they look absolutely delicious!
priya @priyascurrynation
looks incredible... Lovely recipe and yes this is yet another yummy way to have oatmeal... Hope you don't mind if i share this on my instagram... I will ping you there..
for your reference, here is my instagram :- instagram.com/priyaa_jo
Helen of Fuss Free Flavours
Oats are such a good food, and making pancakes with them is a fabulous idea. I love the thought of duelling forks, and a hopeful looking dog willing on the aftermath of pancake wars. They must be good if they are worth a battle over.
Laura
They look delicious, so sugar is fine by me
David @ Spiced
These pancakes look incredible, Shashi! Seriously! And you know what's funny? I was actually thinking about making a batch of pancakes or waffles this weekend. We have some good maple syrup in the pantry that's calling my name, and I think I just found a way to use some of it. I love the idea of oats as the base for these pancakes, too. Excellent photos, my friend! Hope you gals are doing well!
[email protected]
Thanks for re-posting this awesome recipe Shashi. Your pictures are stunning and your recipe is just oh so tantalizing! I make a slightly similar Scottish Oat Pancakes recipe, that I was going to have this weekend. I think I'd much rather have yours instead, Yummy!!
Demeter | Beaming Baker
So happy you updated these photos, Shashi! That just means I get the chance to see a MOST delectable post that I've never seen before. And let me tell you, they are GORGEOUS!! Btw, how did you know I was hankering for a tall, talllll stack of pancakes? And of course, oatmeal is one of my favorite foods to eat ever... so these are totally calling my name! Pinned, of course! xo
Ben|Havocinthekitchen
I guess I didn't see this recipe as it was originally posted in 2014, so thank you for updating it. I did enjoy it - the story how you handled those 3 pancakes is hilarious! And these oat pancakes are seriously delicious 😉
Farrah
I'm glad you reposted these because I must have missed them the first time around--they look amazing!!! *-* I love gorgeous stacks of pancakes, hahah. <3 I think I actually have everything I need to be able to make them too! So excited to try em'!
Paola
They taste delicious!! Even better than regular pancakes, thankyou so much for sharing this recipe!
Julie Robbins
Thank you for this - these are fabulous! Though nutritious, honey and maple syrup are also sugar. Next time I'd add some ground hazelnut and flax and some vanilla.
Anthony Allen
I made these this morning before school. It was my first time making my own pancakes, and they were awesome! Thanks for your sharing!
Robert Derby
They look delicious, l love this recipe.
Jole
I found your recipe because my kids LOVE pancakes, like eat them everyday, sometimes twice a day love them, but I ran out of flour and could not get to the store before breakfast. I'm giving this a try this morning!
Jole
They ate them...I still haven't made it to the store, so I made a second batch tonight.
Alicia
I found this recipe this morning and made it for my family. My 16 year old daughter, who has a gluten sensitivit, gave them the thumbs up. And just like that they are now in our rotation. I didn’t alter anything (I never do the first time) but i am looking forward to adding fruit. Thanks for an easy and tasty recipe.
Lori
So....did no one but me notice that 2 Tblsp baking powder written in the recipe is WAY too much?
I know because I tried the recipe as written and it’s wrong! I’m thinking it should be equal to the salt or MAYBE 1 teaspoon but definitely NOT 2 Tablespoons.
Shashi
Hey Lori you are so right! I re-published this recipe and in re-typing the recipe, I ended up putting in "2 tbspns" instead of "2 tspns" - totally my typo error - Thank you so much for catching it - 2 tbspns would be gagerific!
Danielle K
Hi, was researching many EASY oatmeal pancakes, picked yours because it was one of the few genuinely easy ones. Made batches of each recipe. Yours was the one that blew us away. I absolutely LOVE keeping things simple. Your recipe manages that and also is delicious. The pancakes are airy, taseful, spongy. My husband requested raisins on his... it was a nice little tweak. Been cooking for 40 yrs and this is the 1st time I've ever felt the need to let the recipe creator know how much I appreciate this recipe. Have sent the link to all my friends. This recipe is amazing, my goodness. I may never eat anything else again. Thanks for the recipe. Take care
Katelin
Hi there!
We made these this morning and loved them- except.... is the baking powder quantity a typo? When I made them I thought 2 tbsp seems like a ton of baking powder so I put maybe half in but they still had a distinct baking powder taste. Just wondering if this was intentional or not? I will try them again with less baking powder as I love oat flour in any type of baking!
Shashi
Katelyn - thank you for calling this out - I re-published this recipe and somehow ended up adding in "tbspn" instead of "tspn" - I am so incredibly sorry - 2 teaspoons work fine in these pancakes. If you use a pancake mold, you get a higher rise to them (I've experimented with that just not for these pictures.) Thanks again - I hope you give these a try again... maybe...
If you like oat flour goodies, these muffins are a fav in our home currently https://savoryspin.com/gluten-free-lemon-muffins-2/
Katelin
Thank you for getting back to me. That makes way more sense! I will definitely try those muffins. Thank you!
Nancy A Foley
mine weren't as fluffy as yours but i like them a lot. i am thinking i'll make the next time without cinn or nutmeg and use like a wrap. what do you think.
Shashi
I'm so glad you liked them - I haven't tried them as a wrap but I can see how they might work - would you spread them out much more in the cooking process" If so, they'd be thinner and probably would work well as a wrap... do let me know how they turn out if you get a chance...
Nancy A Foley
will do. i've frozen what i made last week and took out one at a time. i really like the flavor and texture.
Nancy A Foley
hi again. i made the no spice version this AM. I did 1/2 your recipe and I added 3 tsp of ground flax meal and 3 tsp wheat germ for some added nutrition. tasted just like a non spiced pancake and had some chew too. I loved them.
i allowed the batter to sit in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour to thicken up more and that made it much thicker. not tried it yet as a wrap. if do, will let you know. love the recipe.
Jeanne Miller
Oh my god these pancakes are amazing on so many levels!! Also a huge fan of oats in shakes, cookies, cereal anything! So these definitely rocked my world! Added 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to half the recipe. So great!! Thank you!
Small ritual coffee
Very delicious and easy to do. I cooked for the whole family to eat, everyone complimented. Thank you very much
Allison
I decided to half the recipe and I barely measured anything and they still turned out delicious. Hard to go wrong with oats and pancakes, much less oats IN pancakes! Perfect recipe for customizing and playing with, thanks.
eatfrysmith
I love both oatmeal and pancake, this is the best combination recipe ever seen! By the way, I love your pictures.
[email protected]
The recipe is simple, but your article is interesting. I like pancake but haven’t tried oatmeal before, I saved the recipe and make it for my brunch sometime. Thanks for the post.
rook brand collections
I like to have pancake for the late breakfast, I haven’t tried oalmeal before, this recipe sounds interesting. Thanks for sharing
Steffi
I was really excited to try these because I’m gluten free and I also never liked just white flour. They were great! Very fluffy which is usually lacking in ‘alternative’ pancakes. Man they are filling! Don’t make them just for yourself . I was wondering if you think I can freeze extra batter?..
Richard Tunner
We love pancakes and have enjoyed your pumpkin, blueberry, and plain ones, but this one became our new favorite! Thank you for the great new recipes. Your website has become our go to recipe box!
Susan Dubose
Very yummy and simple. These are healthier and more flavorful than regular pancakes.
Sophie Anderson
I loved these pancakes. They are quick and easy to make. The only thing that i would change is the thickness of the batter. It is quite thin.
Jessica Luther
It took me 45 minutes to finish this dish your way.
Really great results. My whole family loves it.
they asked me to do more next time,
thank you
Alice
hiii,
I made cakes as your instructed, it's not pretty but my family loves it
thank you so much
Vinodhan
Just tried these in a locked down South Africa during the Covid-19 crisis (we find ourselves without flour) and this brought some cheer into our kitchen! Delicious (we went savory... unbelievable with caramelized onions, coriander and chopped chillies!).
Thank you!
JCF
Going gluten free for my 6 year old. Who woke up and asked for pancakes!
Quick search and I found your recipe.
Quick, simple and easy.
A success!
Shashi
I'm so glad these worked for you and your 6 year old! Thanks so much for stopping by to let me know! Hope y'all stay well.
