This Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes recipe is gluten free, low in calories and packed with healthy soluble fiber from oats and antioxidants from blueberries (see here for more info on benefits of oatmeal). A serving of these healthy oatmeal pancakes is only around 170 calories, so you could actually top a stack with a ½ tablespoon of butter AND a tablespoon of maple syrup, and still be under 300 calories. BTW, I only put a tablespoon of maple syrup (52 calories) on the pancakes in my photos. It goes further than you might think.
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
These blueberry oatmeal pancakes are actually closer to the cousin of common pancakes called griddle cakes. They are a little smaller than many people make pancakes these days, but three of them make an ample breakfast serving, while still giving the satisfying stacked effect. Of course, you can always make them larger if you prefer.
Healthy Oatmeal Pancake Recipe: Making it Gluten-Free
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but due to modern farming and processing methods, make sure the ones you buy are clearly marked as gluten-free. The remaining ingredients in this healthy oatmeal pancake recipe are typically gluten-free.
