    Equipment You’ll Need

    Here are some kitchen tools that will help you make these gluten free gingerbread pancakes

    • Blender
    • Measuring Tools
    • Griddle or Nonstick pan

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    The healthy gingerbread pancakes have a great source of omega-rich fats, fiber, vitamins and minerals. The recipe is very simple and you will need only a few pantry ingredients:

    • Rolled oats -  instead of using regular flour, this oat flour pancakes recipe is made with rolled oats! To keep them gluten free look for gluten free rolled oats. You can also purchase oat flour if you prefer.
    • Eggs - to help bind the ingredients together. Try to make sure the egg is room temperature.
    • Greek yogurt - this recipe uses plain Greek yogurt. To make he recipe dairy free, you can use a dairy free yogurt.
    • Bananas - use very ripe bananas with a lot of brown spots to help give the pancakes their natural sweetness.
    • Unsweetened almond milk - to help add moisture to the pancakes. You can use any plant based milk you prefer. 
    • Vanilla extract - use pure vanilla extract, not imitation vanilla, for the best taste
    • Spices - this recipe uses ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and ground cloves to bring the warm gingerbread spice flavors to the oat flour pancakes. 
    • Unsulphured molasses - I recommend using unsulphured molasses to make these fluffy gingerbread pancakes.
    • Salt - just a pinch.
    • Baking soda - to help the pancakes be light, fluffy and chewy.

    How to Make the Gingerbread Oatmeal Flour Pancakes

    1. Blend the old fashioned oats.
    2. Pour in the liquid ingredients and continue to blend.
    3. Toss in the dry ingredients and blend until the batter is even throughout. 
    4. Let the batter rest for 1 minute. The oats will soak up some of the moisture, and pancake batter will thicken. This is very important because you don't want runny pancake batter.
    5. Add olive oil or coconut oil to a griddle or large nonstick pan and place over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the batter into a pan and cook for about a minute on each side (or until browned).
    6. Top with pure maple syrup and enjoy!

    How to Store the Oat Flour Pancakes

    The oat pancakes are best when you make and eat them the same day however you can save the leftovers. Let the pancakes cool before placing them in an airtight container. Separate each pancake with a layer of parchment paper. They can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. 

    To reheat them, microwave them in 15 to 20 second intervals until heated through. I recommend reheating only 1-2 pancakes at a time.

    Recipe FAQ

    What is oat flour?

    Oat flour is a whole-grain flour made from rolled oats. 

    Why are my pancakes chewy not fluffy?

    Over-mixing pancake batter tends to make the pancakes rubbery and tough. For light, fluffy pancakes, mix the batter just until it’s mostly mixed. If there are still a few lumps, it’s okay.

    How do you make pancakes not burn?

    Since the pancake batter is full of molasses, to prevent the pancakes from burning, cook them slowly on low to medium heat.

    What is the best way to serve the pancake?

    You can serve these pancakes alone or with maple syrup. I like to top the pancakes with a little butter and maple syrup.

    You may also like topping them with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a dairy free whipped cream with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    And if you feel festive, you can top them with holiday sprinkles. 

    How to keep pancakes warm?

    If you plan to make these pancakes ahead of time on Christmas morning and want to keep them warm, place them on an oven-safe plate or container and place them in the oven at 200 degrees F until you're ready to serve.
