Vegan Oatmeal Apple Pancakes (No Flour, No Sugar)
🌱 Vegan Oatmeal Apple Pancakes 🍎
These Vegan Oatmeal Apple Pancakes are blended-oat pancakes with grated apple in the batter. No wheat flour. No refined sugar. The apple does the sweetening, the oats do the structure, and a flax egg keeps them vegan. They cook up golden with those little browned spots you want on a Saturday stack.
I love how the grated apple stays visible in the bowl. Let the batter sit 5 minutes so the oats hydrate. If you cook them too hot, the outside burns before the center sets. 💚

The Secret to Pancakes That Don’t Fall Apart
Blend most of the oats so you get a batter, not oatmeal. Leave a handful whole for texture. The flax egg needs 5 minutes to gel. Don’t flip until bubbles show and the edges look dry — oat pancakes are more fragile than flour ones.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Are these gluten-free? 🌾
Use certified gluten-free oats if you need them GF.
Can I skip the flax? 🍎
Use 3 tablespoons applesauce instead. The pancakes will be a little softer.
What apples work best? 🍎
A sweet apple like Gala or Fuji. Granny Smith is fine if you like more tartness.

Notes & Tips 💡
- Squeeze the grated apple lightly if it’s very juicy so the batter isn’t watery.
- A pinch of nutmeg is excellent with the cinnamon.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
