Okay, seriously… is it even possible to dislike pancakes? I could literally eat them for any meal of the day. For real. I’ve seen recipes for flour-less pancakes in the past, but never dared to try them myself. For what? I was perfectly happy with my go-to pancake recipe.
Well over the past few months, I’ve been trying to cut back on white flour (just a bit) and explore other interesting breakfast options like this Chia Seed Pudding Parfait. These were both really tasty options, but I missed hot breakfast meals! I’m so glad I discovered these flour-less pancakes! I could eat a whole stack and not feel guilty about them one bit!
As you can see from the recipe below, there’s no refined sugar and NO flour! Just a few simple ingredients (that you probably already have) and you’re ready to enjoy a nice stack of flour-less pancakes in just a few short minutes. Over the past two weeks, I’ve eaten these at least 3 or 4 times… and I plan to make more this weekend! I can’t get over how easy they are.
When making these pancakes, you have two options: a ripe banana or unsweetened applesauce. If you enjoy banana-flavored foods, you’ll definitely want to use the banana option. If you prefer more of a neutral taste, you’ll want to go with the unsweetened applesauce (this one was my fav). Want to know an added bonus? These flour-less pancakes are oil-free too! Just use a non-stick pan and you don’t have to use cooking spray to keep them from sticking!
If you’re looking for a guilt-free pancake stack, look no further! These flour-less pancakes are DEFINITELY worth a try and are so tasty! Whip some up and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp rolled oats (I used quick oats)

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

These are now our ‘go-to’ indulgence! My daughter said they were the “best healthy pancakes” she’s ever had. Also, the recipe is super simple; it took no time to make it. Next time, I will double the batch and try omitting the maple syrup since we also used it as a drizzle topping. Thanks for sharing!-

Absolutely delicious! They came out so fluffy I added ground flaxseed and I was very pleased that it did not change the consistency at all! These are definitely our new go to pancakes. I doubled the recipe so we had extra and they are just as good popped in the toaster on day two!

Fantastic! I used a little coconut oil to keep it from sticking. They tasted like banana bread heaven!!! Will definitely be using this recipe again. -

This was an epic failure. I used all the ingredients listed and followed the instructions and the result was a mushy glob of mess. I am so disappointed.

These pancakes are SO good!!! This recipe will become a regular weekend menu item for me! As someone who doesn’t like bananas, I was SO excited to find a recipe for healthy pancakes that offered up apple sauce in place of bananas. This recipe did NOT disappoint!!! I added frozen blueberries and drizzled with maple syrup. 10/10 Like a bowl of oatmeal but in pancake form 🙂 -

So good and super easy! I’ve had hard time finding fluffy vegan pancakes that are also gluten free, and these are so fluffy and good. I added some blueberries and it was so amazing! -

You ever walked into a restaurant that immediately felt like home? 😌 @blaxicocina felt like being back in the states in a friendly neighborhood oozing with community. Familiar artifacts everywhere I looked, a musical selection that sounded like a mix between a family cookout + riding in a friend’s car, and best of all plant-based options that filled me right on up!😋 If you’re ever in #CDMX, be sure to stop by for vibes and eats. PS- there’s even an “itis” couch in case you OD on the food and need a little nap lol😂

If Mexico City isn’t on your list of places to visit in 2024, it def should be!!🇲🇽 Over the course of 3.5 weeks I ate at a lot of great places, but these were my absolute favs: @palipalimexico - That sandwich changed my life! 🙌🏾 Their menu has lots of options and I ate here at least 3 times during my visit😋 @por_siempre_vegana_taqueria - seriously the best tacos in all the land. I’m salivating just thinking about it🤤 plus their traditional baked goods were top notch. @lapitahayavegana - this places is oozing with creativity and deliciousness. How can you say no to pink tacos?! The chilaquiles was probably my fav dish. I at here repeatedly with no problem! @nievedeolla - I was reaaaally nervous about trying sugar-free ice cream, but this place was amazing! Their ice cream flavors were unique and all of their cones are made in house. They also use edible spoons! @goysburgers - is perfect American inspired comfort food that hit the spot every time. They’ve got multiple locations throughout Mexico City. What are some of your fav CDMX vegan spots?
