Sharing is caring!

The ingredients that go into my oatmeal bowl got turned into this stack of gluten-free, super Easy Oatmeal Pancakes! 
By the way, this stack is dedicated to a friend who once told me that pancakes aren’t pancakes unless they happen to have that golden ring around them from the butter used to grease the pan – think I finally managed to get that ring down!

Easy Oatmeal Pancakes

**This post 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 that 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!!!

Oatmeal Pancakes with Only Oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg and salt

The same ingredients that make up my morning oat bowls, went into these pancakes, only in slightly different quantities.

Easy Gluten Free Oatmeal Pancakes

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????

Easy Oatmeal Pancakes

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.

  3. 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

    Reply

    • 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

  4. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!

  12. 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.

      • 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.

        Reply

          • 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!

          • 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!

          • 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.

  15. 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.

    Reply

    • 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.

  17. 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! : )

  18. 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!!

    Reply

    • 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.

  19. 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!!!

    • 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.

      Reply

  28. 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 ;–)

  30. 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.

  31. 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 😀

  32. 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

  34. 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 😀

    Reply

  35. The pancakes look delicious, but I want some of that bowl and bar, please! Oats and chocolate together is pretty much heaven on earth!

    Reply

  36. 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!!!

    Reply

  41. 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!

    Reply

  43. 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!

    Reply

    • 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? 😉

  49. 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.

    Reply

  51. 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!

    Reply

  52. 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!!

    Reply

  53. 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

  54. 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 😉

    Reply

  55. 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'!

    Reply

  57. 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.

    Reply

  60. 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!

    Reply

  61. 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.

    Reply

  62. 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.

    Reply

    • 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!

      Reply

  63. 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

  64. 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!

    Reply

    • 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…

      • Thank you for getting back to me. That makes way more sense! I will definitely try those muffins. Thank you!

  65. 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.

    Reply

    • 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…

      Reply

      • will do. i’ve frozen what i made last week and took out one at a time. i really like the flavor and texture.

        Reply

        • 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.

  66. 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!

    Reply

  68. 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.

    Reply

  70. 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.

    Reply

  72. 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?..
