My two year-old son has been on a pancake kick lately.
That's about all he'll eat.
So, I wanted to make some pancakes that that had a little extra nutritional oopmh.
He LOVED them!
How to make oatmeal pancakes
Begin by processing the oats into a fine flour.
Add the remaining ingredients, and process until smooth and combined.
Cook according to desired method.
Can I use...
- Whole wheat flour? Yes, you can sub whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour.
- Brown sugar? Yes, you can use brown sugar in place of the granulated sugar.
- Homemade buttermilk substitute? You can. There's a link to a DIY buttermilk recipe in the recipe below.
- A different type of oil? You can.
How to freeze pancakes
If you have extras, these oatmeal pancakes freeze really well.
Just let them come to room temperature and put them in a single layer in a freezer bag.
If you need to do two (or more) layers, just separate the pancake layers with some parchment or wax paper.

How many eggs do you use? They are not listed with the ingredients but the instructions say to add eggs.

Hi! Thanks! I'm not sure where the egg disappeared to, but it's 1 large egg. Thanks again for catching that.

Great pancakes! I used half whole wheat flour to make them even healthier. Thank you for sharing.
