They're easy to make, come together in one bowl and are ready in just 25 minutes!
How do you makeOat Flour?
Although you can use shop-bought oat flour, I much prefer to make my own as it's really easy, and so much cheaper.
Here's how you do it!
1. Place the oats in a food processor.
2. Whizz into a fine powder.
How to make this recipe
Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.
- Place all the ingredients into a glass mixing bowl and mix well.
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.

*You can use a store-bought oat flour instead of making your own. If using oat flour, use 150g or 1 ¼ cup oat flour.
**You can omit the maple syrup to make these free from sugar.
***The vinegar is crucial as its acidity needs to react with the alkali bicarbonate of soda to make the pancakes fluffy. Can be replaced with lemon juice.

This recipe is amazing! I put the oats into a coffee grinder so they would become flour. I added an extra 25ml milk since I was letting the batter sit for about 5 minutes. The batter became the consistency of a mousse, which is perfect for me. The pancakes cooked beautifully and came out light and fluffy! They need no syrup or toppings at all. The best pancakes I think I've ever had. Thank you so much for this recipe!Reply

Hi! You should be able to, but I haven't tested it that way so I can't guarantee results...would love to hear how you get on if you try it though!

This recipe works well and the pancakes are fluffy and tasty. Also, the texture is not gummy like other oat pancake recipes I have tried. I will make this recipe again for sure! Thanks!Reply
