Light Oat Pancakes with Berries

Breakfast
Be the first to rate it!

Today I'm making mixed berry pancakes to give breakfast or an afternoon snack a special touch without any hassle. The batter uses just egg whites and oat flour, and the secret to getting them super fluffy is whipping the whites to stiff peaks and folding the flour in gently so you don't lose that volume.

I love serving these oat pancakes stacked tall with light Greek yogurt, raspberries, redcurrants, blueberries, and a sprinkle of chia seeds over the top. The yogurt adds creaminess and pairs wonderfully with the gentle tartness of the berries. In just 20 minutes, you have a wholesome breakfast for two that looks as lovely as it tastes.

To keep switching up your breakfasts, I also recommend my fluffy oat and raspberry pancakes and my banana oat pancakes, two other delicious fruit-filled options.

Frequently asked questions

Can these oat pancakes be frozen?

Yes, let them cool completely and freeze them without the yogurt or fruit, separated with sheets of parchment paper so they don't stick together. Thaw in the fridge and warm gently in a skillet before adding your toppings.

Can I use different fruit instead of berries?

Yes, they're wonderful with sliced strawberries, banana, or diced pear. Add the fruit right at the end along with the yogurt to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

How do I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Use certified gluten-free oat flour and double-check the labels on your other ingredients. If you're cooking for someone with celiac disease, make sure to avoid cross-contamination on your pans and utensils.
