You’re amazing, look at the Oat Pancakes dishes you’ve made…

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!

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
Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
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!

What can I serve with these Oat Pancakes?
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.

WendySunday 20th August 2017
If doing speed day you can’t use yoghurt so what do you use instead and how much I was thinking quark or fromage frais is that allowed?
kateFriday 28th July 2017
What are the ingredient measurement’s for one portion please?

Hi Can you freeze the pancakes??
KateFriday 31st March 2017
Hi Hils
Yes you can
KateFriday 3rd March 2017
Hi Emma
Glad you like them!
JasmineWednesday 1st March 2017
Try these they where very yummy, might blend the oats next time just so they thinner.
KateFriday 3rd March 2017
Hi Jasmine
Yes blending the oats will change the texture of the pancake mix so you can make a thinner pancake
LouiseTuesday 28th February 2017
Just made these….. one word AMAZING, the oats blended give a really plump pancake. Fabulous!
KateFriday 3rd March 2017
Hi Louise
Glad you like them!
MBJSunday 26th February 2017
Hi! Can you leave the mixture in the fridge to use the following day? Thanks
KateSunday 26th February 2017
Hi MBJ
Yes, you should be able to keep the mixture overnight, just make sure you give it a really good stir before you use it
KateTuesday 14th February 2017
Hi Lynda
We prefer using milk, as it does give a better consistency than yogurt. We find the Skyr ones are quite thick so it can make mixing it a bit more of an effort.
CatherineSunday 5th February 2017
Made these again this morning! I have a super sweet tooth and these pancakes definitely hit the spot! Absolutely amazing recipe which I had with strawberries to add some speediness to my Sunday breakfast.
Delicious and you get a lot of small-medium sized pancakes for only 40g of oats 🙂 delicious!!
JacquiThursday 26th January 2017
I’m going to have to try these
catherineSaturday 21st January 2017
Made these again for breakfast! I got 5 pancakes for 1 portion and added ‘Artic Power Berries’ to the mixture to make them taste lovely and berry-licious. The berry powder is just freeze dried berries and taste amazing 🙂
KaySaturday 11th February 2017
So glad you liked them Catherine ????
CharlotteSunday 8th January 2017
Mine came out quite sloppy and I certainly couldn’t have made a patty shape! How can I thicken the mixture?
WoodySunday 23rd October 2016
It says 2 portions…..how many pancakes for one portion please ??
JulieSunday 13th November 2016
These were the best pancakes I have every had. ????????
catherineSaturday 21st January 2017
I got abourr 5 pancakes for 1 portion 🙂
AlexSunday 7th August 2016
I am lactose and egg intolerant. I made these using egg replacement for the first time and they were gorgeous. I had mine with salted caramel flavouring with quark, a clementine and some cinammon
RebeccaThursday 27th October 2016
How do you find the quark being lactose intolerant? My main promblem with a lot of the SW recipies is the high use of dairy products.
Tracy HobdenWednesday 6th July 2016
I am so going to give these a go. Thanks Emma.
