Homemade healthy oatmeal pancakes that are quick and easy to make with quick oats, brown sugar, almond milk and a few pantry staples.
Oatmeal Pancakes
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup egg substitute (or one large egg beaten)
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 cup milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk- use whatever milk you have or even buttermilk)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, both flours, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder and both sugars. Use a whisk to mix ingredients together. Add egg, milk, oil and vanilla extract to your dry ingredients and whisk until incorporated.
Preheat a skillet or griddle on medium heat on the stovetop. I have nonstick pans, so I did not need to spray baking spray on my skillet, but if you think the pancakes may stick, make sure you spray your pan with cooking spray.
Drop batter onto skillet at your desired size pancake. Once you see bubbles form on top, sneak a peak and check to make sure the bottom is done, and then flip!
Serve warm with butter and syrup if ya want...but not needed!
Notes
You can add the milk as the last ingredient and only add as much for the consistency you prefer (less milk for thicker and what is listed for regular).
If you are a pancake newbie, then here’s a visual on what you are looking for before you flip your cakes over. Â If you flip too soon, the pancake will fall apart and it will be a mess. Â So wait until you see bubbles across the top of the pancake, take a sturdy pancake flipper, and gently check the bottom to make sure it’s golden brown and delicious. Â Then flip. Â The second half, takes less time to cook than when the first half, so check the bottom after a minute or so. Â And cook these on medium heat. Â If your stove is too hot you will burn the outside and have a raw middle.

December 29, 2018 at 11:33 AMdo you think they could be used with oat flour (ground fine oatmeal) replacing the whole wheat and apf for those who are gluten intolerant? They look delicious
