One of my favorite weekend memories as a kid is having my mom’s blackberry oatmeal pancakes on a Sunday morning. My favorite was when we used huckleberries my grandparents had picked in Idaho. They were and still are my favorite pancakes! Since having my daughter, I have developed food sensitivities, to both gluten and dairy. Therefore I have altered my mom’s recipe to fit my dietary needs. The original recipe didn’t use protein powder, had buttermilk instead of a milk alternative, real butter instead of vegan butter, regular flour instead of gluten free and sugar instead of one of the other sweeteners. Feel free to try it either way, they are also great with any kind of berries or chocolate chips!
Gluten Free Dairy Free Blackberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic rolled oats (I use gluten free)
- 2 cups alternative milk (I use coconut milk)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted (I use vegan butter)
- 1/2 cup gluten free flour (any kind of flour works)
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup, monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum free)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 2 scoops unflavored protein powder (I use collagen) *optional*
- 1 cup berries of your choice, fresh or frozen (or chocolate chips)
Instructions
- The night before, or at least a several hours before, combine oats and your alternative milk, refrigerate. Let it soak until the oats have soaked up most of the milk.
- Combine oat mixture with melted butter, eggs and sweetener.
- Combine dry ingredients separately (flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and protein powder) then add to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Heat pan or griddle, melt some coconut oil or butter in the pan to prevent sticking. Scoop about 1/2 cup of batter into pan and top with berries, when the batter starts to bubble, flip the pancake. (When I use frozen berries, sometimes the berry juice mixes with the batter and it can appear as though the batter is not fully cooked, that is just the berry juice.)
- Top with your favorite pancake topping, I love peanut butter or almond butter and maple syrup!
