Healthy Oat Flour Pancakes

Syrup being poured over a stack of oat flour pancakes topped with blueberries.

Healthy oat flour pancakes that are actually fluffy and made with ingredients you can feel good about. These have been my go-to clean eating pancakes for years. They come together in one bowl in about 20 minutes and are perfect for meal prep or weekend breakfast the whole family will love.

Equipment

1 Mixing bowl
1 skillet or griddle

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cup oat flour (certified gluten-free if needed)
2 tsp. baking powder
⅛ tsp. fine sea salt
¾ cup milk of choice
2 tbsp. pure maple syrup (or honey)
1 tbsp. melted coconut oil
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 egg, room temp
½ tsp. apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
1 ⅓ cup oat flour, 2 tsp. baking powder, ⅛ tsp. fine sea salt
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the remaining wet ingredients. Whisk the wet ingredients together first and then fully mix the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients.
¾ cup milk of choice, 2 tbsp. pure maple syrup, 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil, 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract, 1 egg, room temp, ½ tsp. apple cider vinegar
Batter will be runny. Let batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oat flour to soak up some of the liquid. The batter should spread slowly when poured on the skillet.
While batter is resting, heat a large skillet (or griddle) over medium heat. If your pan is not non-stick, lightly grease with avocado oil, coconut oil, or butter. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto heated skillet forming roughly 3"-4" pancakes.
When batter starts to bubble and edges are set, flip pancakes, and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Remove from skillet and set on a paper towel lined plate, or cooling rack. Repeat until all the batter has been used.
Serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, butter, and pure maple syrup.

Notes

Spoon and level flour when measuring.
To quickly get your egg to room temp, run under hot water for 2 minutes.
Oat flour is very absorbent, so letting the batter sit allows some of the liquid to get absorbed and to make the batter the right consistency (thick, but pourable and should hold its shape when it hits the skillet). If batter does not thicken enough, add an additional tablespoon or two of oat flour.
As batter continues to sit while you're making the pancakes, it may get too thick - if this is the case, add an additional tablespoon or two of milk.
