The BEST Pancakes! (Healthy, Gluten Free, & Kid-Friendly!)
These pancakes are legit the BEST pancakes we have EVER had!

(They're even kid tested and approved!) Top with pure maple syrup, pecans, blueberries, strawberries, or even a few dark chocolate chips (you can also add nuts and berries before cooking for a yummy treat!).
Ingredients
- 2 c Oat Flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt (Pink Himalayan or Sea Salt recommended)
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tbsp Light Tasting Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Raw Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 c Oat Milk, Unsweetened (or Unsweetened Milk of Choice)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add oat flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Stir/whisk until well combined.
- Heat a tiny bit of light tasting olive oil in a Nutrifitx Approved nonstick pan (it doesn't take much) over medium-low heat. (As it heats, be sure to coat the entire botom of the pan with oil. Add more oil if needed, but be sure to keep oil to a minimum - no one likes greasy pancakes!)
- Meanwhile, add eggs, oil, honey, vanilla, and milk to dry ingredients. Stir/whisk until well combined. (There should be no lumps. With the exception of the ground oats, the batter should be smooth.)
- If adding other flavorings (fruit, nuts, dark chocolate, etc.) fold into batter now.
- Add batter to the pan with a 1/4 cup "scoop." Use a small eating spoon to scrape the edges of the scoop, and make sure to measure properly. Try not to overfill the measuring cup.
- Pancakes will rise/grow slightly. When you see a fair amount of bubbles on the top of the pancake, it's time to flip. As you cook the pancakes, you'll start to get the knack of knowing when they are ready.
- When all pancakes have been removed from pan, add another TINY bit of light tasting olive oil to the pan, and coat the pan again. Repeat this step, cooking pancakes 1/4 cup at a time, until all pancakes are complete. This recipe usually makes about 9 1/2 to 10 pancakes in total.
- Serve topped with pure maple syrup and you favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
Make your own oat flour by blending oats (use a milling blade if possible). If you're making your own oat flour, be sure to measure the oats after they've been milled.
*Gluten free: Use gluten free certified oats if Celiac or gluten sensitive. Oats are naturally gluten free but often processed in facilities or on equipment that also process wheat.
