Gluten-Free Oatmeal Pancakes

these pancakes are soft, fluffy, and naturally sweetened. Whether you’re avoiding gluten or just love a good healthy breakfast, this recipe will become a go-to in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon melted butter or coconut oil

• Instructions:

  1. Blend the Oats

     • In a blender or food processor, blend the oats until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.

  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

     • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter.

  3. Combine Everything

     • Add the blended oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  4. Cook the Pancakes

     • Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another minute.

  5. Serve & Enjoy

     • Stack the pancakes and top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or extra maple syrup!

     • Tips & Variations:

       ✔️ For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 10 minutes before cooking.
       ✔️ Add mashed banana or applesauce for extra natural sweetness.
       ✔️ Stir in chocolate chips or blueberries for a fun twist!
