1 piece (medium) of Oat flour pancake (60 g) has 132 calories. That works out to 220 calories per 100 g. It contains 21.6 g of carbs, 4.3 g of protein, 3.1 g of fat and 2.7 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of Manganese covers 17% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Oat flour pancakes are a variation on familiar pan-cooked pancakes, made with oat flour instead of the usual wheat flour. Recipes often include egg and milk or yoghurt, and a raising agent can give them a soft, porous crumb. Their flavour is gently grainy, with the same tender, lightly browned finish associated with breakfast pancakes.
They work well as a breakfast or brunch stack, served warm with fruit, yoghurt, or a little syrup; they can also make a quick snack. Oat flour pancakes provide fibre and complex carbohydrates, with 4.5 g of fibre per 100 g. For a less sweet serving, top them with berries and plain yoghurt rather than a generous pour of syrup.

Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

For fluffy oat flour pancakes, add baking powder and stir the batter only until the ingredients come together. Let it rest briefly so the flour can absorb liquid, then cook over medium heat; overmixing or high heat can leave the centers dense.
Yes, you can make oat flour pancakes without eggs by using a flaxseed or chia seed mixture as a binder. The pancakes may be more delicate and less springy, so let the batter rest and flip each one only after the edges look set.
Oat flour pancakes can turn gummy when the batter is too wet, undercooked, or stirred excessively. Cook them over moderate heat until the centers are set, and allow the batter to rest briefly before cooking so the oats absorb some of the liquid.
Yes, rolled oats work for oat flour pancakes if you grind them into a fine powder first. A blender or food processor does the job; coarse oat pieces can make the batter uneven and give the finished pancakes a grainier texture.
Yes, you can mix oat flour pancake batter ahead and refrigerate it for a short time. Oat flour thickens as it absorbs liquid, so stir the batter before cooking and loosen it with a small splash of milk if it has become too thick.
Use a preheated nonstick pan and lightly grease its surface to keep oat flour pancakes from sticking. Wait until the edges look set before flipping; trying to turn a pancake while its underside is still adhering can make it tear.
Yes, oat flour can replace some or all of the wheat flour in a pancake recipe, but the texture will be softer and more tender. Since oat flour absorbs liquid differently, let the batter rest and add a little more liquid if it becomes too thick.
Yes, cooked oat flour pancakes freeze well. Cool them completely, separate the pancakes with parchment so they do not stick together, and store them in a sealed freezer-safe container; reheat them in a skillet, toaster, or microwave.
Fresh berries, sliced banana, yogurt, and nut butter all pair well with oat flour pancakes. For a savory breakfast, try them with eggs or cottage cheese; adding sweet syrup or chocolate spread will make the topping much sweeter.
Yes, oat flour pancakes can work as a pre-workout breakfast because they provide carbohydrates for energy. Add yogurt or an egg for protein, and leave enough time to digest the meal before exercising if a full stomach feels uncomfortable.
