Ingredients for Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes

You can whip these blueberry oatmeal pancakes up with just a handful of simple ingredients from your pantry.

They’re filled with complex carbs, fiber and protein. Plus, there’s very little clean up required. For these pancakes you will need:

Gluten-Free Oats

One of my favorite ingredients for breakfast and vegan baking. You can use rolled oats (old fashioned) or quick oats. However, steel-cut oats will not work for this recipe.

Fresh or Frozen blueberries

If you use frozen, you do NOT need to thaw them. Thawing frozen blueberries will make the batter green.

Ripe Bananas

The riper the bananas, the sweeter the pancake. Bananas are another one of my favorite ingredients when it comes to sweetening recipes naturally.

Flax Eggs

Typically, to make flax eggs, you can mix ground flax seeds with water or milk of choice. Let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes until it gels up.

1 tbsp. ground flax seeds + 2 tbsp. liquid = 1 flax egg

I simplified this recipe (updated March 2024) by blending the ground flaxseeds along with the rest of the ingredients and increasing the mount of liquid in this recipe instead.

Vanilla extract

Vanilla extract adds subtle flavor that gives pancakes their signature flavor.

Milk of your choice

You can use nut milk, oat milk, or soy milk to keep this recipe vegan friendly.

Baking powder

Baking powder helps the pancakes to rise. You only need a tiny bit!

Equipment needed for Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes

High-Speed Blender

All you need is to add all the ingredients for this recipe to a blender and blend until smooth.

If you do not have a high-speed blender, you can use a food processor as well.

Non-Stick Pan

You will need a good non-stick pan to cook these vegan oatmeal pancakes to perfection.

How to Make Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes From Scratch

Nothing beats a homemade recipe, but there’s just something about pancakes made from scratch.

Tips:

I’ve learned a few tips and tricks along the way, so I wanted to share how you can make the best vegan blueberry oatmeal pancakes ever!

Cook low and slow.

Pancakes can cook fairly quickly and if you use too high heat you will end up with an overcooked outside and undercooked middle.

Add frozen blueberries at the end.

If using frozen blueberries, add them to the batter at the end, then gently fold in, otherwise, it may turn the batter blue.

Coat blueberries in flour. Lightly coat the blueberries in flour before adding them to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. You can use almond or oat flour here.

Swap blueberries for other berries.

If blueberries aren’t your jam, or you just want to switch things up a bit, other berries and fruits work great in this recipe as well!

My favorites are:

1. Strawberries
2. Raspberries
3. More bananas
4. Peaches
   

How to Serve Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes

Some of my favorite toppings for these banana oatmeal pancakes are:

1. Vegan butter, or ghee (for dairy-free but a non-vegan option)
2. Pure maple syrup – who doesn’t love maple syrup on pancakes?!
3. Almond butter – in place of regular butter and adds nuttiness.
4. Yogurt – another source of protein
5. Granola – adds fiber and texture (crunch)
6. Fresh fruit – adds natural sweetness, antioxidants, and fiber

Feel free to add whatever you like!

How to Store Vegan Oatmeal Pancakes

These vegan oatmeal pancakes will stay good in the fridge for up to 5 days if kept in an airtight container.

They also stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months!

Yes, you read that right- THREE MONTHS.

That makes this a great recipe to make in bulk for meal prep and just pull the pancakes as you need them. Make sure to wrap them individually before freezing.

To defrost, you can put them in a toaster, reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
