How do I make homemade oat flour?
To make homemade oat flour simply blend quick, old fashioned, or rolled oats in a high speed blender (or process them in a food processor). Blend/process until a flour consistency is reached. If you want to see a video tutorial of how I make my own oat flour, you can watch this tutorial here!
Can I make this recipe with other fruit?
I’ve tried this recipe with bananas, strawberries, and apples. They all work very well! If you want to make this recipe with bananas, you can find the recipe here: mini banana pancake bites.

Can I add protein powder to the pancake batter?
If you want to add some protein powder to this recipe, you can substitute 1/4 cup oat flour for 1/4 vanilla protein powder. I love this 5 ingredient vanilla protein powder from Truvani. It’s made with only real ingredients and is also organic!

Mini Strawberry Pancake Bites
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups oat flour (I use homemade)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup water (or non dairy milk)
- 1 egg (flax or regular egg)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- strawberries
Instructions
- First, prepare the pancake batter: add all of the pancake batter ingredients to a large bowl and mix until the batter is smooth.
- Next, slice the strawberries. I made my slices about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
- Bring a griddle or frying pan to medium heat and grease it well.
- Carefully coat each strawberry slice in the pancake batter and then place the coated strawberries on the greased griddle/pan. You can either coat each strawberry slice individually or add all of the strawberries slices to the batter and gently stir them to evenly coat them in batter.
- Cook the mini strawberry pancakes for several minutes on each side until they're crispy and golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the strawberry pancake bites from the griddle and plate. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes
- For a high protein option, replace 1/4 cup oat flour with 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder.
- My favorite toppings include: homemade nut butters, pure maple syrup or raw honey, melted dark chocolate, and coconut whipped cream.
Can I freeze these for later?
Hi Cindy! I haven’t tried but I am thinking that should work! They might be a little soft/soffy after defrosting though, I am not sure!
