These gluten-free oat flour pancakes are a delicious alternative to traditional pancakes. This is healthy, frugal breakfast recipe.

Pancakes happen just about every weekend in my house.

Depending on the mood of the person who’s making them, they take many different forms. We make them with wheat flour, white flour, gluten-free flour, or a combination.

I recently decided to give another flour a try. Oats are so healthy for breakfast, so I thought, “Why not oat flour pancakes?”

After a few tries, I worked out this easy recipe for making pancakes with oat flour. The flavor is delicious, and it’s great to have another way to incorporate oats into my family’s diet.

Oat Flour Pancakes Tips

Oat Flour: You can buy pre-packaged oat flour, or you can make your own by grinding oats in a high powered blender.

It takes about 1 1/4 cups of rolled oats to make 1 cup of oat flour. This quantity of oats from Costco costs $.10. This is actually more affordable than any other flour I’ve used to make pancakes.

A cup of pre-packaged Bob’s Red Mill oat flour costs $.76 per cup. While it’s much more frugal to grind your own oat flour, you may want to grab a bag of already ground flour to save time in the morning when you’re making these oat flour pancakes.

Batter Texture: It’s best to cook these pancakes immediately after making the batter. If you leave it sitting for a while (or refrigerate overnight), the batter will thicken due to the oats. If this happens, just add an additional ¼ cup of coconut milk or so to the thickened batter. This should return it to a pourable consistency to make the pancakes.

Substitutions: If the oat flavor is too strong for your family in these oat flour pancakes, try substituting gluten-free flour or white whole wheat flour for up to half the oat flour in this recipe. You can also use any type of milk in these pancakes.

Try my chocolate oat pudding, steel cut oats cookies, and oat flour banana bread for other sneaky oatmeal recipes your family will love.
