Why Choose Oat Flour for Pancakes?

Oat flour is a rockstar ingredient:

• HEALTHIER THAN ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR: It’s loaded with fiber, which helps you feel full longer.
• NATURALLY GLUTEN-FREE: Perfect if you’re gluten-sensitive (just check the label to be sure it’s certified GF!).
• TASTES AMAZING: It has a subtle, nutty flavor that makes pancakes more interesting.

Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup oat flour (DIY tip below!)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

How To Make Oat Flour Pancakes

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy!

Serve: Stack them high, add your favorite toppings, and dig in!

TOPPING IDEAS: Fresh fruit, maple syrup, almond butter, or even a dollop of Greek yogurt.

DIY OAT FLOUR TIP: Blend rolled oats in a food processor until they look like fine flour. SO EASY!

Pancake Troubleshooting: When Things Don’t Go as Planned

Pancakes sticking to the pan? Batter too thick? Pancakes turning out flat? Let me tell you, we’ve been there. But don’t worry I’ve got your back.

• Too Thick Batter: Add a tablespoon of milk at a time and stir until it’s just right.
• Sticking to the Pan: Make sure your pan is HOT and greased before adding the batter.
• Flat Pancakes: Double-check that your baking powder and soda are fresh. They lose their magic if they’ve been sitting in the pantry too long.

See? EASY FIXES.

The Magic of Homemade Pancake Mix

The Secret to Perfect Oat Flour Pancakes

Let me let you in on a little secret: the key to fluffy oat flour pancakes is all in the batter. You don’t want it too thick (think cement), but it can’t be watery either. The perfect batter should pour SLOWLY off the spoon, like thick honey.

Oh, and another thing don’t skip the baking powder and baking soda! These two work together to give your pancakes that magical fluff factor. Skipping them is like forgetting to put air in a balloon. Nobody wants flat pancakes, right?

ONE MORE TIP:
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This lets the oat flour soak up the liquid, making the texture spot-on. Trust me, it’s WORTH IT.

Family Favorite Add-Ons

In our house, pancake toppings are a BIG DEAL. Everyone has their favorite, and it’s basically a buffet every time we make these.

• Me: I’m all about maple syrup and blueberries. Can’t go wrong!
• My Husband: He LOVES peanut butter and banana slices.
• The Kids: Chocolate chips and whipped cream. (Shocker, right?)

What’s your go-to topping? I’d love to hear!

Why These Are Kid-Approved

My kids are THE PICKIEST eaters on the planet—if they could, they’d eat mac and cheese for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But guess what? These pancakes passed the ultimate kid test. They didn’t even notice they were made with oat flour. (MOM WIN!) Plus, they love adding their favorite toppings—it’s like DIY breakfast, and who doesn’t love a little creativity in the kitchen?

Pancake Disasters? I Got You

Let’s face it, we’ve ALL had a pancake flop. Batter too thick? Pancakes sticking to the pan? That one pancake that looks more like a scrambled egg? RELATABLE. Here’s the fix: If your batter feels like cement, add a splash of milk. If your pancakes stick, your pan’s not hot enough (and maybe needs more butter—YUM). And if they’re flat, your baking powder might be expired. DON’T WORRY, YOU’VE GOT THIS.
