Toppings and add-ons options.
- Add fresh or frozen berries for toppings. Or you can also place them right onto the pancakes after you’ve poured them onto the griddle. They add the perfect fruity flavors and tang!
- Serve with homemade jam, like mixed berry jam, peach jam, or chia strawberry jam.
- Sprinkle with toasted nuts, like toasted almonds, pecans, walnuts or toasted coconut flakes
- Maple syrup
- Sliced apples or bananas
- Dates
- Nut butter
- Whipped cream (If not vegan)
- Coconut butter
Notes, pro-tips, and quick FAQs –
- The ground-up oats will absorb the liquid as they rest so it’s ok if the batter isn’t initially as thick as you want it to be.
- Use a good quality non-stick or cast iron griddle.
- Buy the certified gluten-free oats,
- I have used chia eggs (Crushed chia seeds + water). If you don’t have chia egg, use a flax egg (mix ground flax seeds with water).
- Use regular milk if not vegan.
- To make this pancake without banana use apple sauce or pumpkin puree instead of banana.
- The vanilla extract in this recipe is optional, but I strongly recommend it. Paired with the salt, it gives these pancakes an amazing flavor.
- Use rolled OR quick oats, but not steel-cut. Steel-cut takes too long to cook/soften.
- If you already have oat flour, feel free to use that.
- Cook pancake on medium/low heat only.
