Gluten free Oatmeal Pancakes

If you are looking for an easy, reasonable, gluten free, and dairy free pancake recipe, look no further!

I have been rotating grains for over a dozen years now... and currently rarely using grains, that are truly grains, with the exception of oats. More and more research is showing that grains are not actually healthy for us! More and more people are being diagnosed with gluten allergy, and gluten sensitivity!
Oats are gluten free, if they are processed in a facility that doesn't process wheat or gluten grains. Look for oats that are organic, and state they are gluten free, if you are avoiding gluten.
This recipe is using long cooking oats, not quick cook. Soaking the oats overnight makes the oats easier to digest, AND will allow you not to process your oats into flour first. Oats are cheap, and easy to obtain! No fancy, expensive gluten free flours, nor any special stabilizers needed here!

This recipe is loaded with super foods: organic oats, organic eggs, cinnamon, raw honey, flax milk, and coconut oil! It is a breakfast that is fun, but you can feel GOOD about!
My girls love, love, love these pancakes!

Gluten Free Oatmeal Pancakes                                                     Yield: approx 18

2 C oats
2 C flax milk (or any milk alternative)
3 eggs
2 Tbl melted organic smart balance (or coconut oil, or other cold pressed oil)
2 Tbl raw honey (or raw agave nectar)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

coconut oil (or olive oil, or other cold pressed oils) for griddle
organic smart balance
real maple syrup


Soak your oats, in the milk alternative overnight.

Oats will look dry after soaking.

Added rest of ingredients!

Blend oat/milk mixture well, in a blender.
Add the rest of the ingredients in blender, and blend just until incorporated.


Grease your griddle or pan very well with coconut oil. Preheat until drops of water spatter on griddle.  Drop by 1/4 cup full of batter.  Cook until bubbles are all over cake, and edges are just starting to get golden. I turn down the griddle to cook the second side a bit slower.

See the loads of bubbles? Edges just crisp- ready to flip!

Serve with organic smart balance spread, and real maple syrup!

*You could mix a tsp of apple cider vinegar to flax milk, let sit a few minutes, than add to oats to soak, for a faux buttermilk.
*You can skip the honey, but we use little syrup, so it adds the right sweetness.
*This batter is very thin. It is preferable, as oats make it more difficult to cook through in pancakes or waffles.
*You can freeze the cakes, in a single layer on a plate or cookie sheet. Once frozen, you can put into a freezer bag. Easily warmed in a toaster! Using the 1/4 cup measure, insures they are large enough to be warmed in the toaster!

Have about 12 left... Time to freeze 'em!

Going, going, almost gone!

These are crispy deliciousness. They are delicious, AND nutritious.! You haven't had oatmeal like this before y'all!  YUM! YUM! YUM!

Yours in health,
