    If you need an awesome gluten free pancake recipe, I've got you covered. Start your morning out right with a big cup of coffee and a plate of these delicious, healthy, blueberry and lemon blender pancakes (made with whole grain oats). They're fun and easy to make! A simple, yummy breakfast the whole family will adore.

    Not only are these griddle cakes gluten free, they're dairy free! This makes them a really great option for those with food sensitivities or allergies. Oatmeal is also higher in protein than most grains, so these pancakes are nice and hearty.

    Plus they are ridiculously good! I love making these pancakes in the spring and summer. The lemon zest in the batter makes them taste super bright. And this recipe isn't just for breakfast. Flapjacks are always a fun dinner option (especially served with bacon and eggs).

    If you're looking for more fun oatmeal recipes, I highly recommend trying my delicious Peanut Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal or Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Muffins.

    Ingredients

    • Unsweetened almond milk: or substitute milk of choice if desired.
    • Whole grain oats: no oat flour needed, simply use the whole grain oatmeal in your pantry. Quick oats will also work.
    • Baking powder: leavens your hot cakes so they're nice and fluffy!
    • Egg: also helps pancakes to rise and adds a lot of flavor.
    • Lemon zest: bright and happy!
    • Maple syrup: natural, insanely delicious sweetener.
    • Salt: adds depth and complexity.
    • Pure vanilla extract: almond extract is also very good.
    • Blueberries: plump, ripe and sweet!

    Handy Tips

    • Because this pancake batter is made with oatmeal, it will get thicker the longer it sits. This is normal! If necessary, you can stir in a bit of additional almond milk - just be sure to add slowly so you don't overdo it.
    • Feel free to get creative with this recipe and try different mix-ins like blackberries or chocolate chips!

      Apparently I'm a glutton for punishment because here it is, nearly 10pm and I'm dreaming of pancakes and enchiladas and pancakes again. I'm meant to be on a strict eating plan for the next two weeks while I try to fit into a pre-pandemic dress for a wedding. I think your blog will be single-handedly responsible for me having to buy a new dress. But, it's ok I'll be happy happy happy! xo

        Haha! Well thankfully they are healthier than they look since they're made with oatmeal and agave! Now - stopping at 2 or 3 is the trick, LOL.
