I’m back on my quest for a healthy breakfast option that I actually want to eat over and over again. My Chia Seed Pudding with Mango Puree is great, and I have Breakfast Tacos all the time, but I need other things in my life. Enter dairy free and vegan Oatmeal Pancakes.

Breakfast is a fight I feel like I’m always losing. I want to start my day off right. I have every intention of starting my day off with a healthy bang, but when 9:30 rolls around and I’m starving even though I had a nice healthy breakfast two hours ago, that’s when I get into trouble. That’s when I start reaching for the bagels or sugary cereal.

I just need some sort of carbs at the beginning of my day and, as I’ve mentioned before, I cannot eat another bowl of oatmeal!! If I was told that I could either eat oatmeal every morning for the rest of my life or never eat breakfast again, I would probably choose to starve until lunch into eternity.

But now I don’t have to! I’ve found a way to trick myself into eating a healthy oatmeal breakfast without actually having to eat oatmeal! And these oatmeal pancakes are not only dairy free and vegan; they are completely flour-less. There is nothing in these oatmeal pancakes that is not super good for you. They are naturally sweetened with banana and apple sauce and because they are so incredibly good for me, I don’t feel guilty drizzling them with a little REAL maple syrup.

Update: I received quite a bit of negative feedback on this recipe. It seems people are having trouble with the thin consistency of the batter initially and some are saying that they don’t get cooked through in the middle. I made these again this morning and here are a few tips I’d like to add to help you on your way!

1. You have to let this batter sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking so that it can thicken up. It does look like soup when it’s first blended, but it will thicken quite a bit as it sits.
2. Leave the lid on the pan while it’s cooking. The steam helps the pancake to cook through.
3. Don’t rush it! These are delicious pancakes vegan pancakes, but you need to put the love into it <3

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 large banana
• 1/4 cup natural apple sauce
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• Small pinch of salt
• Coconut oil for cooking
• Real maple syrup for serving

Instructions

1. Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Pour the batter into a bowl and let it sit for at least 5 minutes but 10 is better to thicken before cooking. It will be very soupy at first but will thicken as it sits and the oatmeal absorbs the milk.
2. Heat a skillet medium heat. Melt a teaspoon or so of coconut oil in the skillet. Test to see if the skillet is ready by letting a drop of the pancake mixture fall in and if it sizzles, it's ready.
3. Cook the pancakes for 3-5 minutes per side with the lid of the pan ON. When they are ready to turn, the entire uncooked side will be covered in bubbles and the edges will look brown.
4. When serving, drizzle on some warmed real maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

My stove is gas and if I cook these any higher than low heat, they burn. However, a reader said that she has an electric stove and low was too low, so she had better success cooking these on medium.
