These fluffy oat flour pancakes are naturally gluten-free, tender, and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients. Perfect for a comforting breakfast with a subtle nutty flavor and a hint of vanilla and cinnamon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) oat flour, finely ground (gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk, dairy or dairy-free (almond or oat milk works well)
  • ½ cup (120g) plain yogurt, Greek or regular (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil, melted (coconut oil for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed with no lumps (about 2 minutes).
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Add milk, plain yogurt, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and melted butter or oil. Whisk until fully combined and smooth (about 3 minutes).
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold with a spatula just until combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. Avoid overmixing; 10-15 gentle folds usually do the trick.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  6. Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a low oven if cooking in batches, or serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid toughness. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate the oat flour and improve tenderness. Use medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Fresh leavening agents are important for fluffiness. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk; if too runny, add a little oat flour. Flip pancakes when bubbles form and edges look set.
