Hey girl,
I know you’ve been trying to cut down on gluten lately. So I made you these blueberry oatmeal pancakes.
Hey girl,
I know you’ve been thinking a lot about factory farming lately after watching Food Inc.: Baby Edition. So I made you these blueberry oatmeal pancakes.
Hey girl,
I know you have like fourteen seconds to make breakfast in the morning, so I made you this blueberry oatmeal pancakes recipe. And then made them for you anyway.
In honor of Ryan Gosling’s imminent parenthood, I came up with these ridiculously awesome blueberry oatmeal pancakes, which he will undoubtedly share with his super modern and equally awesome baby / evil baby mama, a one Eva Mendes. They’re gluten free and vegan and come together in a few seconds in a Vitamix. Does it get better than that?
Top it all off with some superfoody blueberry chia jam and maple syrup, and you’re in is-this-actually-healthy? heaven, I tell you.
You’ll love these because they’re a bit nutty from the oatmeal and brown rice flour; the heady, aromatic vanilla from the blueberry chia jam plays beautifully with the real maple syrup; the chia seeds and oats are filling without being heavy; the blueberries are bright little bursts of fruity sweetness, with just a tiny tartness to balance it all out. Did I mention they’re vegan and gluten free?
Make sure your pan is hot enough to form the pancake, but not so hot that it’ll burn the surface of the pancake quickly. You need to cook these totally through, or else they’ll taste somewhat gummy. So keep it kind of low and slow, about medium heat.

- In a measuring cup, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice then top off with almond milk to make 3/4 cup. Stir and set aside until curdled.
- In a blender, add oats and blend quickly until almost forms a flour. Add remaining ingredients, except for blueberries, and blend until smooth.

Made these pancakes this morning and they were easy and wonderful! It’s hard to find a gluten-free, vegan pancake recipe this easy.
I tripled the recipe and substituted one of the 1/2 cups of the brown rice flour with sweet sorghum flour (too lazy to grind more rice flour). Also substituted maple syrup for agave, apple cider vinegar for lemon juice and vegan butter for the coconut oil (since my husband doesn’t like the latter). Also used frozen blueberries since it is January.
All turned out great and my kids loved them! Thanks so much!
Sounds wonderful!
Do you know approximately how many calories are in one serving size?
Unfortunately I don’t, but I’ve heard some people have success with this calculator: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator
These were great! I went a little blueberry crazy in the pancakes (like 15 instead of 5), but I didn’t have any blueberry chia seed jam, unfortunately, so I had to make up for it somehow! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Haha! Blueberry crazy is never a bad thing. So glad you liked them Anna!
Is it bad that the mention of “hey girl” led me straight to this post? This pancakes look amazing…LIKE I love the use of rice flour and oats – rice flour is next on my list of flours to try! Pinning this beauty.
No, it just means we need to be friends – ha! They’re so yummy, and I’m thinking of adding chickpea flour next.. we’ll see!
How do you get you pancakes so thick? My batter is probably too thin–how can I thicken?
Hrm, my batter IS thin actually. I think perhaps I just keep my skillet fairly hot, so when you pour the batter on, it sets quickly and builds from there. If yours is too thin, try just blending in more oatmeal maybe?
Goodness! Cheryl! Love this recipe with the oats and brown rice flour. I’m wondering if this would work with quinoa flour (what I have on hand). Anything with blueberries, especially now, is what I am craving! Thank you for your inspiration and beautiful photography!
I’m sure the quinoa flour would work, and a bit more protein in the morning too! Definitely try it and let me know how you like it 🙂
Ah, such a perfect stack! Pancakes = life 😉 And blueberry pancakes are always so divine!
Thanks Rebecca! I was actually thinking of sharing these with you since they’re gluten free!
Beautiful and tasty!
Thanks O!
These pancakes are so pretty! I want them now. Also, awesome pour shot!
Haha thanks! I hate that my thumb is in it, but alas. I tell you, I was channeling Marc when I was cooking these! Pro tip: you only need one actually pretty pancake……. put it on top. Haha! I’m a cheat
Oh YUM. I need these. I’m pretty sure that your gorgeous blueberry chia jam would be good on anything but this is obviously a great use of it!
Oooh, thanks Shannon! It really is good on top of these guys. Now I’m bummed I’ve already eaten all the leftovers!
