Gluten-Free Oat Flour Pancakes
Make tender oat pancakes with a clearly labeled gluten-free flour for strict avoidance.
Quick answer
Oats are naturally without gluten but can have wheat, barley or rye cross-contact. For celiac disease, use oat flour labeled gluten-free and verify all other ingredients.
What you need
- For about six small pancakes, use 1 cup gluten-free oat flour, 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk or alternative, 1 teaspoon baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- Have a clean pan and spatula ready; use separate butter or spread if the kitchen handles wheat.
How to make it work
- Whisk batter and rest five minutes to let oat flour hydrate.
- Cook small pancakes on a lightly greased medium pan; flip when edges set and cook until the centers are done.
Checks and useful changes
- Oat flour thickens as it sits; add a splash of milk if needed.
- Some people with celiac disease also react to oats; follow individual medical advice.
