Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Spice Blender Pancakes
Here’s why this recipe works – my top 3 reasons:
- One “bowl” recipe
- Flourless + egg-free
- Ready in under 20 minutes
One “Bowl” Recipe
Breakfast and clean-up are super easy with this recipe because there is only one “bowl”, or in this case, just a “blender” to clean up.
For example, instead of mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl, they’ll be mixed together in a blender.
Flourless + Egg-Free
It can be hard to find a delicious vegan and gluten-free pancake recipe, but this one is perfect.
There are no eggs and the recipe is grain-free and flourless.
Ready In Under 20 Minutes
A quick and easy breakfast is a priority for most people and this recipe can be ready to enjoy in under 20 minutes.
For example, it takes about 5 minutes to mix the batter.
And then, another 10-15 minutes to cook the pancakes.
My healthy pancake recipe is plant-based, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, grain-free, flourless, contains no refined sugar and is Medical Medium compliant.
How To Make The BEST Gluten-Free Vegan Fluffy Blender Pancakes: Step-By-Step Instructions
Here is how to make this recipe and I’ll show you with step-by-step instructions below:
Step 1: Prepare the Oat Flour
Firstly, you’ll need to prepare the oat flour and you have two options:
- Homemade Oat Flour – Add organic gluten-free quick rolled oats to your Vitamix and blend on HIGH until they turn into a fine flour.
- Store-bought Oat Flour – Add store-bought organic gluten-free oat flour to the blender with the remaining ingredients for the pancakes.
Step 2: Prepare the Pancakes
Secondly, add all the ingredients for the pancakes to the Vitamix with the oat flour and blend on HIGH speed until everything is well combined.
Using a spoon or spatula, scrape the bottom and corners of the Vitamix to get any unmixed oat flour and reblend.
Allow the pancake batter to sit for about 5 minutes to thicken while you prepare the skillet.
Step 3: Prepare the Skillet
Thirdly, add about 1/2 – 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to the bottom of a non-toxic skillet.
Heat the skillet on low-medium heat.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Fourthly, pour the pancake batter into the skillet in the size you’d like your pancakes.
For example, I made 4-inch pancakes and was able to fit (4) at a time in my skillet.
Keep the heat setting on low-medium to prevent them from burning.
Once the pancakes start to “bubble” on the top, gently flip them over to cook on the other side.
Let them cook until golden in color.
Repeat Step 4 until you run out of batter.
How To Store The Pancakes
Lastly, store any leftover pancakes in an air-tight BPA-free container.
Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions For Gluten-Free Vegan Fluffy Blender Pancakes
Here are some expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Oat Flour. You have two options regarding oat flour:
- Make your own using a Vitamix. Simply add the gluten-free quick rolled oats to the Vitamix and blend until it turns into a fine flour. Then add the remaining ingredients for the recipe.
- Use store-bought. If using this option, just add the oat flour with the remaining pancake ingredients and blend on HIGH until everything is well combined.
Maple Syrup. This can be substituted with your favorite liquid sweetener. For example, organic date nectar or organic coconut nectar are good substitutes.
Homemade Almond Milk. This is my milk of preference. However, it can always be substituted with your favorite non-dairy milk.
Bananas. I used bananas as a replacement for eggs in this recipe. In addition, it adds a little extra sweetness to the recipe. I haven’t tested the recipe using other egg-free substitutions.
Pumpkin Pie Spice. This high-quality organic pumpkin pie spice is my go-to for all my pumpkin spice recipes. However, feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
Baking Powder. Make sure your baking powder is fresh since this ingredient is what will help the pancakes “rise”.
Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.
Vitamix. I always use a Vitamix high-speed blender because it provides the smoothest texture and I haven’t tested this recipe using any other type of blender. However, since there aren’t any “hard” or “difficult” ingredients to blend, I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in a regular blender.
