It’s a tradition to make pancakes every Sunday in my house. My whole family looks forward to this lazy morning tradition. My husband and I take turns getting creative with ingredients and textures. We always make vegan, gluten free pancakes as I am allergic to eggs and we feel so much lighter without the gluten.
These pancakes aren’t just a 1-2-3 step recipe, they require a little love and some prep to create the flours.
You do need a high-speed blender or food processor to make these pancakes or you can buy the specialty flours at the store instead of making them yourself.
Making your own flours is an amazing way to know that your ingredients are of top quality and they make your food taste so much better:) And, it’s EASY and way CHEAPER!
I used my Vitamix to make 2 of the 4 flours in this recipe. I know your thinking 4 flours! Well, you’ll just have to trust me when I say that these were my families favourite pancakes to date and I will be taking the extra 10 minutes again to make such a perfect weekend pancake that fuelled me with amazing energy and a satisfied tummy!:)

Serves 4
A perfect vegan, gluten free weekend pancake.
Prep Time
20 min
Cook Time
20 min
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal (large flakes)
- 1 cup corn flour
- 1 cup spelt flour
- 2 bananas
- 3 cups Almond Fresh Coconut Milk
- 1tsp vanilla
- 1tbsp baking powder
- 1-02 tbsp of cinnamon
- 1-2 flax eggs (or regular eggs)
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 2 tbsp coconut oil for the pan
- 1 cup of blueberries (optional)
- 1 cup of strawberries for topping (optional)
- 1 cup of Yoso cultured coconut yogurt for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of almonds in your high speed blender and pulse until you have almond flour or almond meal (10-20 secs with my vitamix), put into a large mixing bowl.
- Make oat flour by placing 1 cup of oats into the blender and pulse until you have oat flour.
- Combine oat flour, corn flour, almond flour and spelt flour in the large bowl and mix.
- Add cinnamon, baking powder and chia seeds to the flours and stir all together.
- Now it's time to make the wet ingredients. Put both bananas into your blender with the coconut milk and vanilla, blend until smooth (no banana chunks).
- Mix wet ingredients with flax eggs then combine all wet ingredients into the big bowl with the dry and stir until uniform with no chunks of flour.
- Add blueberries (optional).
- Heat your griddle or cast iron pan and melt a little coconut oil on it so that your pancakes don't stick. Cook pancakes like usual.
- Serve with whatever toppings you fancy! I love adding coconut yogurt and fresh strawberries, but you could keep it traditional and use maple syrup.
Notes
- Of course you can buy the different flours or omit one and just sub with your favourite flour:)
- I hope you enjoy these as much as my family did.
