Directions
- In a food processor, blend the oatmeal into a flour. Alternatively, you could use store-bought oatmeal flour here.
- Combine all the ingredients, except for the oil, in a large bowl. Preheat a large pan on medium-high heat with the oil, and when hot, spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and let cook.
- When the pancakes get bubbly and the sides look firm, flip the pancakes and cook the other side for another 2 - 3 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- To make these pancakes a more balanced meal for breakfast, enjoy with some creamy nut or seed butter drizzle overtop, fresh fruit, and/or creamy plant-based yogurt.
Notes
- * Nutrition tip: aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.
- ** 1 small mashed banana can be used in place of every ⅓ cup of apple sauce instead.
Storage
- Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze with pieces of parchment separating the pancakes - to prevent them from sticking together - and reheat when desired. Frozen, these can last up to two months.

Simple and so so delicious. Texture was on point and the cinnamon is a delicious touch. I sifted the flour of mine which made it light and airy. Thank you!
Since I found this recipe I don’t do pancakes any other way! I have done these for countless people and everyone loved it. The texture is perfect, which I was worried about because oats/oat flour tend to be denser. But they are nothing like that at all. They are soft but yet firm, and I think it is the perfect mix of chewiness with melting in your mouth. Absolutely love!!
The best 😍 I can't remember how often I have made them already, they are just perfect for breakfast! I usually make them in bulk and you can eat them sweet or with something salty as well!
Hands down 🙌 the best pancake recipe we’ve tried! The kids love it! Usually I’m not one for leaving comments but with this one I just had to. Thank you PUL!
So delicious and hearty! “Regular” pancakes often leave me hungry soon after eating. These stick with me (in a good way) for hours.
Thanks for the recipe; one of the few vegan pancake recipes that work so well in a frying pan! Today I made a few changes to the recipe that worked really well. Since we didn't have apple sauce at home, we blended two peaches to make the sauce and then combined all the ingredients in a blender. This blog has really changed my outlook on food and veganism. I really appreciate you share all your craft and knowledge with us!
These have become a Sunday morning staple for me and my partner. I have not been a big fan of pancakes in the past, but I am an oatmeal lover. These are the best of both breakfast foods. I've made them with both applesauce and banana. I'm an apple lover and prefer the subtle apple flavor but my partner loves it when I make them with bananas. I love to top mine with a flavored culina yogurt and some berries. Anyone I have ever made these for has reached out for the recipe. They are just so comforting, warm, cozy and delicious!!
This recipe is my Sunday morning treat especially when I see a few bananas starting to turn brown (I still haven't tried the recipe with applesauce). For toppings I use warmed up frozen berry mix, vegan yoghurt and some peanut butter. It's delicious 😊
It's the second time I made these .They are so fluffy and delicious!
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!! I just love it!! It’s my first vegan recipe and I was quite nervous, but it was all perfect. I enjoyed it and my mom and little sister too!
Firstly, the pancakes were great. The consistency was perfectly fluffy on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside by cooking them in cast iron. One thing that also worked for me is letting the freshly mixed batter sit in the fridge for a few minutes, so all the flour can hydrate. It’s a good time to preheat the skillet and clean up any dishes, too. Fair warning though, the batter is extremely delicious on its own, so make sure you make a double batch if you have no self-control like me! Highly recommend :)
I made them and they were delicious and enjoyed by non-vegans alike! 😁
Absolutely love this recipe! First time I made these pancakes I cooked them for too long and they came out dry, but now when I stuck to the recipe, they are AMASING! Quickly became pur household staple! ❤️🙏
I love the flavor of this pancake!!! You can taste the cinnamon with just a hint of apple. It’s so delicious! I do have a question though. Can you sub 1 cup of the oats with 1 cup of all-purpose flour? The texture was a little different, and I was wondering if there was a way to make the texture of the pancake more like that of a typical pancake. It might be that I didn’t spread the pancake enough. Yours look more even than mine. Please let me know your thoughts!
Just went back to your website to re-make these pancakes for the third time (they're amazing💚) and I've just noticed the amazing upgrade you've done to the website. Congratulations! This looks really great, more user-friendly and a lot more stable! I'm very impressed at how much has changed. All the best to you and your team!
OMG these pancakes are wonderful! Easy to make, and they have a nice flavour of their own. I appreciate that they don’t stick in the frying pan and don’t break. I’ve never felt more healthy eating pancakes for weekend breakfast. Having type 1 diabetes, these pancakes are great as there weren’t any insulin dosage issues or delayed blood sugar peaks👏🏼
Fluffy. Easy. Delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe. To reduce the fat content, I added extra apple sauce and omitted the coconut oil.
