Since my daughter was diagnosed with several food allergies last year, I've been on a mission to re-make some of her old favorites. While most mornings she rotates eggs and bacon/sausage and smoothies for breakfast, sometimes a girl just wants a pile of pancakes on a Saturday morning to switch things up. I don't blame her! Who doesn't love pancakes?
These simple oat pancakes whipped up in the blender are the easiest that I have found. They don't taste exactly like traditional fluffy pancakes, but they are close enough and my daughter really enjoys them. I always have these ingredients on hand so pancakes are never far away. Oats, eggs, banana, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and liquid of choice is all it takes. No gums, no extra fancy starches, no special ingredients needed. I hate over-complicated, so these work best for me.
To reduce my workload, I often make a double batch to stock up for the week. Then breakfast is done and I don't have to think about it when this non-morning momma is barely functioning in the first hours of the day. I call that a win.
If you are looking for an allergy-friendly pancake recipe or just want a healthier option, try these simple oat pancakes. I think you will really enjoy them.

These were so easy to make and yummy. I'm allergic to gluten but I can have oats and this was great. I like cooking with oat flour because it is cheaper than alternative g.f. flours. Thank you!! ?

I love love love this recipe. I’ve made it a bunch of times and my husband and son still ask me to make it again! I use an immersion blender instead since I don’t have a conventional blender but it still works great. I do add mini chocolate chips sometimes once the pancake is in the pan. Raisins might be a good add too.. Thank you for a great recipe.

Great idea improvising with the immersion blender. I love your additions of the chocolate chips and raisins too. Yum! Thanks for the review, Mary!
