Oat Milk Pancakes

    Pancakes made with oat milk taste great and go well with lots of toppings and combinations, like berries and syrup.

    They taste almost the same as classic pancakes with milk, but they are perfect for those who follow a dairy-free diet.

    While this recipe does use butter, if you’re vegan or lactose intolerant, you can always swap with a dairy-free alternative.

    These pancakes are fun to make with kids, letting them choose their preferred toppings. You can even make it dessert-like and top it with whipped cream, or arrange them in a stack for a large breakfast.

    What You Need to Make Oat Milk Pancakes

    The ingredients for oat milk pancakes are so simple that they are almost always in the kitchen.

    There are no hard and fast rules here. You just use whatever oat milk you can get at your local grocery store.

    Regular wheat flour will also work—just don’t add too much or the pancakes will turn out too dense and not as airy.

    Add brown sugar to the dough to give the pancakes a nice caramel flavor. You can also add vanilla or any other extract, such as almond or rum.

    Ingredients on a table

    Ingredients:

    • Oat milk
    • Unsalted butter
    • Vanilla bean paste – You can also use extract or vanilla sugar
    • Medium-size eggs
    • Wheat flour – To make the pancakes fluffier, you can sift the flour several times.
    • Salt
    • Brown Sugar – You can also use dark brown or white sugar. You will get differences in taste, but in general, pancakes will turn out equally tasty.
    • Baking powder

    How To Make Oat Milk Pancakes

    Crack an egg into a bowl, and add oat milk, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.

    Liquid ingredients in a bowl

    Use another deep bowl, put the sifted wheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into it. Mix thoroughly with a whisk.

    Dry ingredients in a bowl

    Combine the contents of both bowls and stir for a couple of minutes until you get a thick enough dough. It should not contain unmixed lumps of flour or sugar.

    The finished dough should slowly drain from a spoon or spatula. If the dough is runny, the pancakes may not come out fluffy.

    Mixed wet and dry ingredients in a bowl

    Heat up a non-stick frying pan. Pour in some of the dough, making sure the pancakes form a neat round shape. Fry on medium heat for 3 minutes.

    Yes, you can use a granular sweetener. You can also add agave syrup.

    What can be substituted for butter?

    You can use melted coconut oil or vegan butter as a substitute.
