These incredibly delicious and completely satisfying oat flour crepes have been a go-to recipe for our family for a few years, in fact I make them far more than traditional crepes.

Over the past few years I've realized I don't care much for the texture of morning oatmeal but I do however love the flavor of oatmeal. So a great solution is to turn oats into something that some of us may consider to have a much better texture such as pancakes, baked oats and these crepes.

Also, I think most of us are still cooking and baking with primarily white flour but I think it could be good for us to learn how to incorporate some healthier alternatives like oat flour into our diet.

I love this recipe for several reasons. You make the batter quickly in a blender, you don't have to wait 1 hour for the batter to rest like traditional crepes, and they are also a healthier alternative to traditional crepes made up of primarily of white flour.

This recipe took some testing and modifying over time. I originally started out trying to use only oat flour as the base but the crepes would always tear and didn't hold together well. I found that with just a few tablespoons of white flour (or even a gluten free blend) this did the trick to bind them. We also preferred them with cow's milk over a dairy free alternative for thickness and flavor.

We love to serve them with blueberry syrup (which I now usually make with real maple syrup as the sweetener) or raspberry syrup, but they are good enough plain on their own for a lower sugar alternative. You could even serve them as a savory option with eggs.

They keep well in the fridge for a few days so you can have a cooked breakfast already made. It's a wholesome breakfast you can feel great about serving and enjoying!

The Best Oat Flour Pancakes!

These oaty pancakes have been a go-to breakfast for us on weekends, holidays, and lazy days. We have even started freezing them so we can have them during our busiest days.

Chances are they’ll be a breakfast you crave all the time! They make a great dinner or midday snack too.

Just like most other pancake recipes, these are a breeze to make. Just whisk the dry ingredients, followed by the wet ingredients, combine the two mixtures, then pour portions onto a hot griddle (or skillet if you're old school!). And after a few short minutes, you’ve got a perfectly cozy and comforting breakfast!
