Looking for a hearty, tasty, and nutritious pancake recipe? These oatmeal pancakes are vegan, gluten free, and sugar free friendly, as well as whole grain and high in fiber. They’re the perfect weekend brunch recipe and so delicious with chocolate chips or blueberries mixed into the batter!

How do I make these oatmeal pancakes sugar free?

I used a little bit of pure maple syrup in the pancake batter, but you can easily substitute the maple syrup with sugar free maple syrup or just omit it entirely. See below for other sweetener ideas.

What ingredients do I need for these hearty oatmeal pancakes?

If you want to make these hearty oatmeal pancakes, here’s what you’ll need:

  • flour of choice (see below)
  • rolled/old fashioned oats
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • water (or dairy free milk)
  • pure vanilla extract
  • olive oil (or coconut oil)
  • flax eggs (or regular eggs)
  • pure maple syrup (or other sweetener, see below)
What kind of flour can I use?

You can use oat flour, all purpose gluten free measure for measure flour, cassava flour, or regular all purpose flour.

What kind of sweetener should I use in the pancakes?

I used pure maple syrup in the pancake batter but you could use another liquid sweetener like honey or date syrup. You could also try a granulated sweetener like coconut sugar or monk fruit. If you use a granulated sweetener instead of a liquid sweeter, add a little bit more water/dairy free milk to the pancake batter (2-4 TBS). You can also omit the sweetener if you prefer, but I think the pancakes are better with the sweetener added. If you omit the sugar, omit the salt as well, or else the pancakes will taste a bit salty.

What mix-ins can I add to the pancakes?

These pancakes are delicious with chocolate chips, blueberries, or any other berries mixed into the batter. I personally prefer chocolate chips, but feel free to use whatever mix-ins you prefer.

What toppings should I use?

You can use whatever toppings you like! We love nut butter, fresh fruit, and pure maple syrup!
