Can you make pancakes with oat milk?
Of course you can make pancakes with oat milk! Honestly, you can make pancakes with any type of milk, and even water. I personally like using oat milk in pancakes because I can quickly make it homemade as part of my pancake batter process. I have four boys, including two toddlers, who happen to drink A LOT of almond milk. Unfortunately, they refuse to drink homemade plant milk and using homemade oat milk in pancakes is one way that I can conserve our store-bought almond milk stash.
What type of oat milk can I use for oat milk pancakes?
As mentioned, this pancake recipe calls for any type of oat milk. If purchasing store bought milk, some good options are Oatly, Planet Oat, Califia Farms Oatmilk, Chobani Oatmilk, and Oat Malk. The brand selection will not make a difference in how this recipe turns out. I prefer to make my own oat milk! It’s very easy to do, and really does not add more than a minute or two of prep time to your pancake making adventure. Check out this easy two ingredient oat milk recipe here.
Why should you make pancakes with oat milk?
Making pancakes with oat milk is a great way to add vitamins, minerals, and fiber to your dish. Believe it or not, most humans are lactose intolerant, meaning it is hard for our bodies to digest cow’s milk. Dairy contains saturated fat, cholesterol, and is linked to an increased risk of certain cancers. If you’re new to consuming plant based milk, making pancakes with oat milk is a great place to start.
Do sugar free pancakes taste okay?
Sugar free pancakes taste way better than okay. They taste phenomenal! Out of this world even. I do not recommend using heavily manufactured sugar replacements in making your recipes sugar free. Store bought sugar replacements tend to have a strong, odd flavor and do not compliment this pancake recipe. Natural sugars such as dates, bananas, maple syrup and honey are readily available, so let’s not overcomplicate it with science here. Instead of sugar, we will create date paste with dates and water in the blender.

Ingredients
- 4 cups organic flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 cups oat milk
- 1/3 cup Dates + 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon using a whisk. Set aside. In a blender or food processor, blend 1/3 cup dates and 1/3 cup water. Single-serve blender cups work really well for this if you have one. Larger blender pitchers have a hard time catching the ingredients because there is a small amount in a large space. If you only have a large blender to work with, you will need to use a spatula to scrape down the sides, blending a few times until a smooth consistency is achieved. Stir wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients (date paste, coconut oil, eggs, oat milk, and vanilla).
- Add 1 tablespoon coconut oil to hot griddle. Spread oil around the pan by holding the sides of the griddle and tipping back and forth in each direction until the oil is evenly spread. Using 1/3 measuring cup, scoop batter onto the prepared griddle. Repeat this process until the griddle is full. Depending on the size of your individual griddle, you should have 6-8 pancakes cooking at once.
- Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes or until batter bubbles form and pop on top of each pancake. Once the bubbles have popped, it is time to flip. Flip each pancake and allow to cook on the next side for another 2-3 minutes. The total cook time for each set of pancakes is roughly 10 minutes. Please note that it will likely take 30 minutes to make all of the pancakes in this batch. If you don’t have time to cook all of the pancakes at once, you can store the batter in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
