    Perfect for pancakes.

    Gluten-free Vegan Oat Flour Pancakes made with whole grain gluten-free oats, white rice flour, applesauce, and non-dairy buttermilk, for a light and tender crumb. An oat flour pancake recipe made without eggs or bananas. Easy and delicious!For some time now I've been on the hunt for a gluten-free pancake recipe that doesn't require eggs. It seems those mornings when we're craving pancakes, our fridge contains zero eggs.

    Such a bummer.

    Plus, for those needing to avoid gluten and eggs, things get trickier.

An oat flour pancake recipe made without eggs or bananas. Easy and delicious!I've also wanted to avoid using gums to hold these gluten-less pancakes together. This is almost always the dilemma when making gluten-free baked goods without eggs.

    In many gluten-free vegan pancake recipes, banana is used as an egg substitute, and it works wonderfully well. But, unless you want to taste banana, it's not the best go-to for all occasions.

Applesauce also acts as a replacement for eggs, and I love the subtle flavor it gives these oat flour muffins.

    But applesauce alone isn't going to solve our "hold it together" problem. That's where white rice flour helps us out.

    The starchy qualities of white rice flour in combination with the oat flour help bind our pancake batter enough so that we have hotcakes with a tender crumb without any additional gums.

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup non-dairy milk I use unsweetened almond
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 3 tablespoons non-dairy butter (or unsalted butter if not dairy-free)
    • 1 cup gluten-free oat flour 100 g
    • ½ cup white rice flour 95 g
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup (or honey if not vegan)
    • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

    Optional toppings

    • sliced strawberries, bananas, or berries
    • maple syrup
    • coconut whipped cream

    Instructions

    • Add non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar to a glass measuring cup. Stir and set aside. In a small microwaveable bowl, melt butter for 30 seconds in microwave. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, add oat flour, white rice flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until flours are evenly incorporated. 
    • Add maple syrup, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted butter, followed by non-dairy milk mixture to the dry mixture. Whisk to combine. Allow batter to sit for 4-5 minutes. This allows flours to absorb some of the liquid. 
    • While allowing batter to rest, heat nonstick skillet over medium heat. Grease it lightly. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto skillet for a test pancake (the test pancake almost always looks like a dud). 
    • Allow pancakes to cook for about 1 minute or so until edges look set and bubbles start to form on top. Use a spatula to carefully flip pancake over and cook for about another 30-60 seconds. 
    • To keep pancakes warm while cooking, heat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and keep pancakes in a single layer on baking sheet. 
    • Serve with maple syrup and desired toppings.

      I made mine using yogurt as I didn’t have milk, and used apple mash I had left over from making Turkish Sherbert (plum apple fruit juice drink). It came out Ah-Mazing! This was my first time making gf pancakes and I am so thrilled. I also added some allspice! This is the first recipe I’ve used yet that I actually prefer gf.

        Hi Janet - I haven't tried these with banana yet, but I would guess that swapping in the about the same amount of banana would work just fine. If you try it, I'd love to hear how that goes.

      Hi- could I substitute anything else for the rice flour? maybe coconut flour?

      Thanks so much for this recipe. Will be trying it this weekend.

      Hi Tessa,
      Is it possible to leave out the non-dairy butter (oil/fat)? I’m not supposed to have any oils in my meals. Could I just add a little more apple sauce or something like that? Much thanks.

        Hi Bridget! I would think that subbing the 3 tablespoons coconut oil with 3 tablespoons applesauce might just do the trick. Would love to know how it works out for you!

      These look absolutely perfect, Tessa.. and yes to the GF, V. It's so nice to have options, right? I think we are food sisters... seriously. You know how much I love your food and just so happens I've been working on a similar recipe - but I'm using a banana - lol! My first try was a total fail - GF, V is no joke. It's such a big learning curve. I ate mine (Rob eventually tossed his)... but I'm on the right track now. I hope to be sharing them soon, but I've a bit more tweaking before they're just right. Love this apple sauce recipe and they look scrumptious! Well done!
