Is oat flour gluten free?

When made with certified gluten free oats, oat flour does not contain gluten . While oats do not contain any gluten proteins, they can become cross contaminated with gluten in processing facilities. If you want gluten free oat flour, make sure to look for one that is manufactured in a certified gluten free facility.

Are oat flour pancakes better for you?

Pancakes made with oat flour are a healthier option! Oat flour is made from whole grain oats, which means they're rich in fiber and protein, and packed with vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. They are also naturally gluten free, hearty, and just as tasty and fluffy as regular pancakes!

Can I make pancakes using homemade oat flour?

Yes! Just process rolled oats into a fine powder, then measure out the flour as needed for recipes.

What type of skillet is best for oat flour pancakes?

I find a cast iron skillet or griddle is best because it gives the pancakes nice crispy edges. But, a ceramic non-stick pan works great too! We typically use an 11-inch ceramic non-stick pan so we can cook 2-3 pancakes at a time.

Instructions

Mix: Add all of the ingredients to a blender (tip: add the wet ingredients first) and blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to let the flour absorb the liquid. The batter will thicken slightly. If you find the batter is too thick and doesn’t pour, add a little more milk a tablespoon at a time until it becomes pourable.
Cook: Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add about ½ – 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan. Pour the batter directly into the pan so it forms into a circle. Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until the underside turns golden brown and the batter starts to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip: Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve: Serve warm with butter, syrup, or fruit!

Notes

If you’re using coconut milk, make sure to use coconut milk from a carton. Canned coconut milk has more fat and the pancakes will end up too thick.
No blender? Just mix the batter in a mixing bowl.
To bring the eggs to room temperature, lay them out for an hour before you use them, or put them in a warm water bath for 3-4 minutes.
While I like to pour the batter directly from the blender, you can also scoop the batter out with a ladle or ¼ cup-measuring cup.
To add mix-ins: Gently place a few blueberries, chocolate chips, or sliced bananas directly in the pancake right after pouring it in the pan. Leave space in between the pieces to ensure even cooking. I like to use a spatula to quickly cover the pieces with a little extra batter so it doesn’t burn when you flip the pancake.
I recommend doing a test pancake. The first round always seems to turn out a little thin.
