🔪 How to Make Gluten Free Pancakes
Add the almond milk to a mixing cup and add the lemon juice. Allow it to sit while you grind the oats.
Pour the oats into a high-powered blender or food processor and pulse until the oats have been ground down to a fine powder.
Add in the salt and baking powder, then pulse again to combine.
Add the almond milk, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl, then whisk until combined.
Pour in the flour mixture and mix just until combined; don’t overmix. The batter shouldn't be too thick, but rather on the loose side.
Add more almond milk if needed. Also, as the batter sits, it could become thicker; if that happens, add more almond milk to keep the right consistency.
Heat a large skillet and add in a small amount of the avocado oil or clarified butter. Add in some of the pancake batter, making sure they are on the smaller side.
Cook for a few minutes until you see the small bubbles form, then gently flip them over.
Continue cooking for a few more minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat the process until all the pancakes are cooked. Do not overcook these pancakes, or they can become dense and rubbery.
Then top with your favorite maple syrup and a few slices of banana.
💡 Tips for Making the Best Pancakes
- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter than slightly underripe ones and work best in this recipe.
- Oat grinding: Ensure the oats are ground to a fine powder. You can also use pre-made oat flour if you're short on time, but the texture may slightly differ.
- Avoid overmixing: When mixing the wet and dry ingredients, avoid overmixing the batter. This can lead to dense pancakes.
- Adjust consistency: As the batter sits, it will thicken. Add a little more almond milk to keep the consistency pourable.
- Don't overcook: Keep an eye on the pancakes as they cook. Flip when you start to see tiny bubbles form. Cook only a few more minutes, just until brown. Overcooked pancakes will have a dense and dry texture.
☑️ Storage Instructions
You can store leftovers in the fridge for several days. Or you can freeze them for later. To do so, allow the pancakes to cool to room temperature.
Next, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the pancakes in a single layer on the pan. Place them in the freezer for 2 hours, then transfer them freezer safe container or freezer bag. You can freeze them for up to a couple of months.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Chocolate chip: Banana and chocolate go hand in hand. You can throw a handful of sugar free chocolate chips into the batter.
- Banana spice: Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon into the batter for a warm fall flavor.
- Banana split: Top your pancakes with sliced bananas and strawberries, a drizzle of homemade chocolate sauce, and a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
- Fruit and yogurt topping: Top your pancakes with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a mix of fresh fruit like additional bananas, sliced strawberries, and kiwi.
- Fruit syrup: Instead of maple syrup, drizzle them with homemade Raspberry Sauce, Strawberry Sauce or Blueberry Sauce.

Why are My Banana Oat Pancakes Mushy?
Using too much banana can lead to excess moisture in the batter. Make sure you only use ⅓ cup for this recipe.
Why Did My Oat Flour Pancakes Crumble?
Allowing the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking can help the oats absorb the moisture and bind the ingredients together. This will help them stay together.
Can I Use All-Purpose Flour Instead?
While you can use regular flour in pancakes, keep in mind, they will have a different texture. If a particular recipe calls for a cup of regular flour, you will typically use 1 ⅓ cup of oat flour. You may also have to adjust the liquids to get the batter to get the right consistency.
Is Oat Flour Better than Regular Flour?
Regular all-purpose flour is a refined product, and it is considered a less nutritious option. Oat flour, on the other hand, is a good source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, essential minerals, and a variety of B vitamins
