Sprouted Oat Flour Pancakes

Naturally gluten-free, perfectly fluffy and not too sweet.

Hands up if you love pancakes any day, for any meal, at any time of year! They’re satisfying, delicious and easy to personalize. The star ingredient in this recipe is sprouted whole grain oat flour, making them naturally gluten-free, fluffy, and nutritious. Sprouting improves taste and texture, resulting in a sweet, mildly nutty flour. It also aids in digestibility and bioavailability. Sprouted oat flour pancakes are also quick and simple to make, so get your frying pan ready!

ingredient tips & substitutions

Milk – Any kind of milk or milk alternative will work here (oat, soy, almond etc.)
Why add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to the milk? This creates your own buttermilk which adds tenderness and a rich flavour. You can substitute the milk with store bought buttermilk, but that means picking up an extra ingredient that you only need a small amount of. Making your own buttermilk is extremely simple and it works with any plant-based milk too! Simply add lemon juice or acv to the milk and let it sit for a few minutes. It will thicken and develop lumps, this is normal.
Maple syrup – You can substitute any kind of liquid or granulated sweetener.
Egg – we haven’t tried making these with a flax or chia egg, but it shouldn’t be a problem. If you try it, let us know!

recipe notes

The batter cannot be made ahead of time because the oats will soak up too much moisture. Whip up the batter when you’re ready to cook them.
Make sure the pan is fully preheated before adding the batter. Otherwise, you may not have the prettiest first pancake (definitely still delicious though!).
These are best enjoyed fresh but will keep in the fridge for a few days. Reheat in a frying pan or toaster.
