Oat Pancakes - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

These Oat Pancakes are really easy to whip up, so there’s no need to wait for the weekend to enjoy pancakes for breakfast.  They’re really versatile and you can serve them with pretty much anything you want.  Top with sugar free jam, reduced fat squirty cream, choc shot or even a squeeze of lemon!

We’ve used Ready Brek in our Oat Pancakes because they we find they give the pancakes a nice texture, but you could also blitz normal porridge oats in a food processor!

Our Oat Pancakes recipe is loved by adults and kids alike, so getting flipping and sharing these pancakes with your family and friends!

What diets are these Oat Pancakes suitable for?

This Oat Pancakes recipe is suitable for vegetarians.

They can be made gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;

  • Porridge oats

They can also be made dairy free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for dairy free versions;

  • Milk

Do you need any special ingredients to make Oat Pancakes?

These Oat Pancakes are really simple to make and the ingredients are things that you probably have in the cupboard and fridge already.

For the oats, we suggest using Ready Brek as it’s already finely milled which gives the pancakes a nicer texture. If you only have normal porridge oats then you can just blitz these in a food processor for the same effect.

We also find they are much easier to make in a non-stick frying pan!

Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Easy to make and so versatile
I froze half of the pancakes. Then when needed I defrosted them overnight in the fridge and heated them through in the microwave the next morning. Topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. Absolutely delicious.!
Quick, easy and so versatile!
I substituted honey instead of sweetener. Absolutely delicious!

Oat pancakes, simples!
I used oats and blitzed them finely with the sweetener. I just love them kept simple with lemon and granulated sweetener. No fancy pictures of this, and one already half eaten. I have kept the mixture in fridge and will be having in the morning.
I used skimmed milk, but think they would taste great with almond milk or oat milk, I will definitely be trying alternative milks next time.

I don't like pancakes, but these were amazing. The texture was just right. I cant eat sugar substitutes like sweetener, so I use honey instead. The apple complimented these well.

How do I know when these Oat Pancakes are cooked?

You should cook your Oat Pancakes until they are golden on both sides and cooked through.  When one side of the pancake is cooked, you’ll be able to gently flip it over without it falling apart.

If they are colouring before they are set enough to flip, then reduce the heat. This should take approx 10 minutes on the hob over a medium-low heat.

Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.

How long can you keep these Oat Pancakes in the fridge?

If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Oat Pancakes in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.

Can I freeze these Oat Pancakes?

We wouldn’t recommend freezing these Oat Pancakes.

    Hi Rebecca, yes, you can use semi-skimmed milk if you prefer, it will just increase the calories a little.
