Ingredients
Oat pancakes
-
-
1 cup (240 mL)unsweetened soy milk†
-
⅓ cup (80 mL)unsweetened applesauce
-
-
-
2 tsp (5 g)ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp (5 g)baking powder
-
½ tspsalt
Toppings
-
½ cup (120 mL)unsweetened coconut yogurt
-
¼ cup (44 g)pomegranate seeds
-
2 Tbsp (15 g)roasted unsalted pistachios, chopped
Directions
- In a food processor, blend the oatmeal into a flour. Alternatively, use store-bought oatmeal flour.
- Combine all the pancake ingredients in a large bowl.
- Preheat a large pan on medium-high heat with oil. When hot, spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- When the bottom becomes golden, flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- For a more balanced breakfast, enjoy these pancakes with some creamy nut butter drizzled overtop, fresh fruit, and creamy plant-based yogurt.
Notes
- †Nutrition tip: aim to use plant-based milk that is fortified with calcium.
- †Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts. If you prefer a distinct coconut taste, use unrefined coconut oil instead.
Storage
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Frozen, these can last up to two months. Freeze with pieces of parchment separating the pancakes to prevent them from sticking together.

So good! Didn’t have applesauce or banana, so I used vanilla soy yogurt and added a tsp of ground flax seed for extra binding. Also, the ground oats give the pancakes a nice texture. Will definitely make these again! Thanks Sadia for your great recipes ❤️
It’s hard to find a truly yummy pancake recipe when your cooking vegan, but this hearty, wholesome, easy breakfast is oh so good! Thank you PUL once again for supporting/encouraging cooking vegan with you amazing recipes!!
Made these today for the first time. I did drop the serving size to just 1 serving (4 pancakes) and substituted coconut oil for vegan butter, but they came out so perfectly. Super tasty!
Absolutely delicious! Crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside!
Ok
Had to substitute peanut butter for applesauce. I didn’t have enough yogurt either. So, since peanut butter was all I had, we experimented :(. Taste was ok but it was a very dense pancake. We’ll make them again and use applesauce next time.
This batter comes out really thick and slimy. I recommend to use about 150 to 200ml plant based milk, instead of 120ml. That was a little easier to spread in the pan.
But as a dish: really good! A filling and satisfying breakfast 🥰
It's so delicious!!! My son loved it too. He asked me what kind of pancakes are these, because they taste like gingerbread and so good. And the pancakes didn't fall apart😃 I guess I found my new favourite recipe❤️
Best oat pancakes I have ever made!!! I can stop looking now😊. I happened to have pomegranates as in your photo and wow, so delicious!!! Love the sweet and tart combo!! Thank you for that suggestion❣️
I don't usually have sweet breakfasts but these are now weekly in the menu, topped with yogurt or homemade nutella. Also, I realised I need to introduce more omega-3s so I tried incorporating some ground flax into the batter and it worked great.
Delicious!!!!
Hi! Loved the taste of these! But, I’ve got a question. Whenever I make any pancake recipe, my pancakes always end up somewhat undercooked, but crispy though. Any ideas as to why? The heat is generally set to 6/9 and I use a lid on the pan. They already take quite long to cook so I don’t feel tempted to turn down the heat..
Wow this recipe was amazing!
Thank you
Loved it! I used peanut butter and jelly as toppings, it was amazing! The pancakes are soft and chewy, combined with the creamy peanut butter and sweet jelly, perfect! And easy to make too!
Love this recipe :) I’ve made it three times now, I always substitute the apple sauce for the mashed banana. Delicious even when I didn’t have yogurt to top it ;)
These are absolutely eye closing! I didn’t have applesauce so I used the mashed banana. I didn’t have soy milk so I used 1.5 cups oat milk. I also added 1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds. Otherwise I followed the recipe as instructed and I am pleasantly delighted. I will however use just the one cup of milk next time. Thanks for a healthy version of something my family absolutely loves ❤️🥳🤗
Really easy to make. Very filling! Freezes well, so good to batch cook then pop in the toaster whenever you fancy one for breakfast (or whenever!)
Amazing ❤️
Just made them for breakfast and I really loved them! They will def be on a repeat from now on. :)
Question: I always make batches of oat flour in advance, to have it in stock - do 2 cups of whole oats equal 2 cups of oat flour?
I've put 2 cups oat flour, but I have a feeling a little less would be better for a fluffier consistency.
This was so good!
I love these!! I followed the recipe exactly except I used oat flour. They have this slightly sweet cinnamon taste that is to die for! My go-to breakfast now, I eat them with nut butter, almond yogurt and some berries. Yum!
I love these. I did not put an applesauce though I just cut up an apple. They were delicious!
i made it following the recipe exactly, yet my pancakes were very dry. i dont understand what happened. maybe i cooked them for too long? how can i prevent this in the future?
Delicious and very filling as not light as air with no substance. Perfect sweetness for us, as they complimented our blueberries but also great to snack on later on its own for that sweetish craving of snack on the go 😋 I added 1/2 cup extra milk for 3 servings to make them a bit lighter for my non plant-based, hot cake lovering family and they were sold too!
Easy and delicious
I love oats, so I loved this. Incredibly easy and fast to make, so I'll add this to my breakfast rotation. I'm enjoying them with yoghurt on the side and a bit of peanut butter on top.
Sadia, you packaged me off to heaven this morning with these oats pancakes. I followed the recipe exactly and they came out wonderfully. Didn't know I could do this. Thanks a big bunch of flowers!
Hi PUL Team ! :)
I am completely out of rolled oats at the moment, but would still really like to try these pancakes - because it uses applesauce and does not require to make buttermilk like your other recipes.
Would it work if I swap the oat "flour" for some regular wheat flour (or maybe 2/3 wheat and 1/3 rice flour for example)?
Thank you in advance for your answer 😊
No fuss recipe and taste amazing ❤️
The recipe was easy to make. I just had to add more soy milk to make it easier to cook. Other than that, it was delicious!
These are the only pancakes I make now; love them!
Quick and easily done and very filling 😊
Pancakes have always been one of my favorite breakfast items and I was starting to lose hope that I’d find a delicious vegan version. Well this didn’t disappoint! They’re delicious! This will be my new go to pancake recipe!
Absolutely love your app. So many great features especially the “make” feature. It helped me stay on track which allowed me to complete the recipe so efficiently. Amazing recipe too! Thank you both, this is truly a labor of love and it shows.
I ended up adding some water to the batter, as it thickens up soon and is difficult to spread..also, looks more pancake like. At the same time, taste as usual is amazing..sadia! Love it ♥️
I love these pancakes! Quick and easy to make and really yummy
Soo delicious!! I love this recipe!!
A regular breakfast recipe. Easy to make and healthier than other pancakes, and just as delicious. I love the apple sauce.
I did not grind my flour finely enough, so the consistency was wrong. But they’re still yummy!
My go-to recipe since the YouTube video came out (3 years ago!). Love them!!!
This was the first oatmeal pancake recipe I’ve tried that haven’t been gummy in texture! I did add a 1/4c regular flour bc my mixture wasn’t as thick as the video. Delicious and healthy. Thanks PUL 🥰
I loved this soo much!! This is going to be my go-to pancake recepie! 😄 I added some italian pistachio cream on top this time, a little less healthy but I highly recommend that as well 😋
Easy quick breakfast! It is balanced and filling!
My fiancé gives 4 stars, I give 5 😁 I overdid it with the vanilla extract but other than that, they were amazing 😊
Amazing recipe!! I love the taste (not too sweet) and that there is no wheat flour in it - thank you very much! I’ll do it again soon☺️
Love this recipe! I like to add some peanut butter powder for extra protein and top with stewed berries! 😋
Absolutely delicious! And super quick to make. Topped with some yogurt and stewed blueberries and it was heaven!
Oh My Goodness!! How yummy are these pancakes? A perfect start to a day off. I had mine with soy yogurt, a large spoonful of chia seed jam and some leftover stewed fruit. 😍
I regularly make a quadruple batch of this batter and make half of it into pancakes and half into waffles.
Then i put it all in the freezer. Then I just put both in the breakfast rotation for like 3-4 weeks. I put either pancakes or waffles from the freezer into the fridge and then reheat them in tje oven while i cut up fruit for toppings. Easiest and most delicious breakfast ever.
Cooked these for breakfast for my family, and the pancakes were recieved so well !!! I added blueberries to the pancake batter, and they got all jammy and sweet, absolutely perfect.
The texture, the taste, the sweetness! Perfect start to the day !
Thank you so much !!
my first PUL recipe and it turned out AMAZING. i used them to make banana pancakes. these gave me so much energy and kept me full and satisfied all morning. thank you!<3
Surprisingly good! I mashed too much banana, so used it as a topping with peanut butter and cocoa nibs. It was like eating a desert.
Delicious 😋
So happy to eat these healthy pancakes 🥞
Thanks again Sadia 💕
The only pancake recipe I make !
I love these! Thank you for the recipe!
Trying to make them for my baby under 1, so would have to omit salt, baking powder and probably the maple syrup too 🤔 any experience if they can still work or what to use instead?
Thank you so much for this delicious and filling recipe! 💕 It was easy to follow and I really enjoyed the cinnamon flavor. I topped mine with strawberries and banana.
Delicious as always ! PUL recipes are all-time favorites at home.♥️
Forgot to submit my rating!
This was so delicious and simple to make! Loved every bite and it smelled so good while cooking. Since I used oatmeal flour instead of grinding the oats, should I still have used 2 cups of flour or a bit less?
These are our go-to pancakes for Bank Holidays and long Sunday brunches. So delicious and easy to make! Actually I'm heading into the kitchen to make some right now. :)
Thanks for the recipe!! 🥰
I'm just wondering, is the use of coconut oil in the dough required, and what's its purpose in this case?
Also why didn't you use an egg? It was replaced by the milk in this case?
Thanks!!
My husband and I decided to try oatmeal pancakes and I chose this recipe because it seemed easy and I had the ingredients or was able to substitute some of them.. (my apologies for not sticking to the recipe). I used skim milk, honey and olive oil as replacements and had to cook the pancakes on lower heat than to recipe called for, but we both thought they were delicious! For someone with food allergies/issues theses are great and for those of us fortunate enough to be able to eat anything, the oatmeal pancakes were a wonderful treat.
My toddler and I made this for breakfast and it was just the perfect way to share the morning. The ingredients are few; staples for us. The prep is straightforward. And a bonus is that tasting the batter comes with no danger because there are no animal products included :) We had so much fun measuring, pouring, and mixing. The pancakes themselves are so delicious and quite filling, too! This will very likely be a regular meal for us. . I'm also wondering about adding some of my sourdough discard? Hmmm. . Thanks so much for this one! I highly recommend it to folks caring for young kids (inner child counts, too)!
Amazing…. Absolutely delicious !! I loved every bit of making till the last bite….only luv to u guyz for making such delicious recipes in a healthy way ❤️
Hi there! I have a bunch of semolina flour, could I try this recipe with semolina flour instead? Thank you 🙏
Delicious! Though mine where a little thick and grainy, I fault myself for that as I have never made oat flour before and don’t think I blitzed it long enough to get the texture this recipe needed. But nonetheless was still delicious topped with all natural peanut butter, bananas and strawberries. Will definitely make again!
This is my go-to oatmeal pancake. I make a batch and keep them in the fridge. I warm them up in the microwave briefly then top them with peanut butter. The heat melts the peanut butter and creates an ooey-gooey topping. What a decadent and nourishing snack!
Incredible - thanks for sharing. same here great fluffy texture YUUUMMMM
the best oatmeal pancakes I've ever tried! very fluffy and moist, unlike any other oat based ones. thank you so much for sharing, love it :) <3
hii this pancake recipe is currently my favourite because i these are ingredients i will already have at home from making porridge! going to make it again right now for a delicious Saturday breakfast 💖
love it !!!!!!!
Hi, thank you for a wonderful recipe!! I was wondering, after freezing, how do you reheat them so they’re still as good as before they were frozen? Thank you!
Pure awesomeness!! 🥰
I was wondering if you have any tips to prevent the pancakes sticking to the pan?
Thanks!!
My brother and I had this for breakfast and it was sooo delicious 😋.
I really enjoyed these healthy, quick and delicious crumpets. I had them with some berry compote that my mom made👌🏼😊 Lovely breakfast and have leftovers which I froze and I gave to family. Thanks Sadiya🌟🤗
It was super easy and amazing to eat :) Thx Sadia! I'm focusing on improving my cooking and your website is going to be my go to.
This pancake recipe is my favorite now! I live in Brazil, so I had to substitute a few of the ingredients, but still, what a wonderful recipe! And the smell!? I loved it so much! It smells like fall in a pancake. Thank you so much for sharing this nurturing, yet delicious breakfast!!
love love love love LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Very heavy and different from the normal fluffy pancakes, I always make that disclaimer to my friends as I make them, but thus far no one has ever been disappointed. I make these ALLLLLLL the time <3
I am a big fan of this awesome pancake recipe because I love oats for breakfast and this is a way of incorporating them into pancakes which is something else I enjoy from time to time, especially at the weekend! They are super tasty and the perfect consistency. My favourite toppings so far are coconut yogurt, maple syrup, chopped pistachios & berries. I am always excited to make them again. 😊
SOOO GOOD! I add matcha powder to make them green and earthy in flavour. It's so delicious and healthy :)
This is the most delicious pancake recipe I've ever tried. Way more healthy and delicious than the readymade pancake mixes you get at the store :) Way to go, Sadia!
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.
