    Blueberry Oat Pancakes with Berry Sauce

    Jump to Recipe 2 Comments Share Pin Save Saved!

    These blueberry oat pancakes prove that breakfast can be healthy and hearty, as well as super indulgent and satisfying! The berry sauce topping is a delicious and nutritious alternative to pure syrup.

    We love these blueberry oat pancakes because they are:

    • A filling start to the day
    • More nourishing and healthy than standard pancakes
    • Made with simple ingredients - no eggs, no milk, no banana...
    • Vegan + dairy free, and easy to adapt to gluten free or without refined sugars
    • Covered in delicious berrytastic sauce!!

    Oats & Pancakes - A winning combo!

    We love oats for breakfast. Their health benefits and high levels of nutrients make them a great choice for starting the day. We also LOVE pancakes for breakfast. So these blueberry oat pancakes combine the best of both worlds! We use whole oats, and grind them in our mini blender into oat flour. It's super easy.

    Zero waste vegan pancakes

    Another thing we love about this recipe is that is so easy to make with our planet friendly, zero waste ethos - whether we are in the van, camping in the mountains, or in a real kitchen!

    Oats are one of the easiest things to buy in bulk at refill stores, or in plastic free packaging. And because you are using oats, you don't need a plant based milk, just water! So no waste needed from a tetrapak container, or time needed to make and strain your own plant based milk. Though if you do have your own homemade plant milk, then we totally encourage you to use that.

    So you can see how these blueberry oat pancakes are as plastic free/zero waste as possible, here's where we sourced all our ingredients from:

    • Oats - refill in own container
    • Flour - 5kg bulk paper bag
    • Baking powder - refill in own container
    • Sugar - 1kg paper bag
    • Oil - Organic in glass bottle refill
    • Vinegar - Homemade from apple scraps
    • Blueberries - handpicked in the Austrian Alps
    • Agave Syrup - 1L glass jar which we will reuse

    Berrytastic sauce

    The icing on the cake to this recipe, is the sauce. It's so good we should change the phrase to 'the sauce on the pancake'! It's super easy to make - just blend berries of your choice with agave syrup, then a splash of water. We used more wild blueberries, but you can use other berries, fresh or from frozen.

    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
    Makes: 2 servings
    Course: Breakfast
    Cuisine: Vegan

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup (80 g) oats
    • ½ cup (65 g) plain flour
    • 1 tsp baking powder
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 1 tbsp oil
    • 1 tsp vinegar
    • ¾ cup (180 g) water
    • ¾ cup (110 g) blueberries

    Sauce:

    • ½ cup (75 g) blueberries
    • 4 tsp agave syrup
    • 2 tsp water

    Instructions
     

    Pancakes

    • Grind the oats into flour by pulsing in a food processor or blender until fine.
    • Combine the oats, flour, baking powder and sugar.
    • Briefly mix the water, oil and vinegar together and then pour it into the oat mix.
    • Mix into a thick, smooth batter and then add the washed blueberries and stir.
    • Heat up a non stick pan or cast iron skillet with a small amount of oil to season it. When hot, add spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and continue to cook on medium/high heat.
    • When bubbles start to appear on the top and the base is starting to brown, flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or so, until fully cooked.
    • Tip: The batter will get thicker as the oats absorb liquid whilst the batter stands. If you don't use the all the batter in the first batch, add a bit more water to loosen it up again.

    Sauce

    • Wash the berries and then puree in a blender with the agave syrup.
    • If necessary, add a splash of water to give the sauce a good pouring consistency.

    Notes

    Gluten Free
    To make these blueberry oat pancakes gluten free, use gluten free certified oats and replace the ½ cup flour with a gluten free flour mix or chickpea flour. You can also use an extra ½ cup of oat flour, but the texture is not quite so fluffy.
    Refined Sugar Free
    Replace the sugar in the batter with agave syrup, coconut sugar or leave it out.
    Berry Sauce
    We used wild blueberries for the berry sauce. You can use normal blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries... or a mixture of whatever you fancy. Adjust the level of syrup according to the sweetness of the berries you use. If necessary, add enough water so it has an easy pouring consisitency.

      Omg. This was very very delicious. I think this vegan pancakes recipe is one of the best I tried! I made just one big pancake, instead of small pancake tower and I topped them with raspberries syrop from my mom. Simply delicious.

      Thanks a lot for another lovely recipe!
