Wow, my first new post under Jessica in the Kitchen. It’s kind of like a dream come true you know? I’ve been waiting for this moment for such a long time and it’s finally here. Thank you for all your positive feedback – it’s helped with the butterflies! Enough about my excitement for right now – I need to tell you about these apple pie pancakes! Two words: new favourite.
I’ve been trying to cut down on any processed foods inclusive of white flour and sugars, and I also want to bring this forth to the blog. I promise – I don’t eat anything that I don’t love, and Mr. Bakes is also the second tester so I can guarantee there are only delicious recipes here.
That being said, I knew whole wheat flour wouldn’t taste that great because I’ve been there and then I was like wait, how about oats? 15 minutes later – since I decided to over grind a TON of oats, I had amazing, soft and airy oat flour. I’ll share how to make homemade oat flour another day, but it’s as simple as adding ¼ cup of oats at a time to reveal almost twice the amount of oat flour in seconds. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and you’re ready to make these healthy gluten free apple pie pancakes.
I was a little skeptical at first, I mean come on I just changed my favourite pancake recipe to have NO white flour in there or processed sugars! But they came out soft, fluffy, and filled with so much flavour! Like seriously, it’s as if the homemade flour had so much more flavour in itself, and created pancakes that were solid on their own in terms of texture.
Let’s not forget the apples that get caramelised when being cooked when you flip the pancakes – deliciously soft and sweet. It doesn’t really get much better than this! This is my new favourite pancake recipe, hands down.
P.S. top these healthy gluten free apple pie pancakes with some more caramelised apples (just pop them onto your griddle for a few minutes and sprinkle with cinnamon) , greek yogurt and drizzle some honey on top – heaven! I was more concerned with devouring these then photographing them, but deciding I had to share them, and just in time for the fall season that’s slowly but surely approaching!
These would also make a quick and easy breakfast for those soon-to-come back busy school mornings (don’t I know it – my little brother goes back in two weeks!) and are so easy to freeze (more directions in the recipe below) and pop in the toaster the next day.

Apple Pie Pancakes (Healthy & Gluten Free)
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups oat flour, or oats ground in a food processor or in a coffee grinder
- 1 flax egg
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon agave nectar or maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons thick vegan yogurt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 apple, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the remaining pancake ingredients except the apple and whisk until just combined. Heat a griddle pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat and grease with oil or cooking spray.
- Pour the batter into a liquid measuring cup, then pour about 1/4 cup's worth for one pancake. Wait until some bubbles start to form and then add a few apple slices on top. Allow to cook for 2 more minutes and then flip the pancakes over. Cook for about 3 more minutes until batter is cooked through.
- Serve pancakes hot and drizzle honey on top and some caramelised apples.
Notes
You can use a flax egg or a banana to replace the egg, maple syrup instead of honey, and coconut cream or vegan yogurt instead of the greek yogurt. HOW TO STORE – FRIDGE & FREEZER:
Store these pancakes stacked with wax or parchment paper in between each one in an airtight tupperware container in the fridge. If freezing, store them in a freezer-safe zipped bag with wax or parchment paper in between each other. Store them flat to freeze. They last very long in the freezer! VARIATIONS:
You can use pears or even plums in place of the apples.

anyone know how many calories per pancake or for the whole batch
These are so good! Even my four year old loved them, I told him they were “oatmeal cookie pancakes,” which is what they smell like! I will definitely be making them again soon!
So glad to hear that Ashley! Thank you so much for your feedback. 🙂
These look delicious, but I’m wondering if you have any non dairy substitute suggestions for the Greek yogurt.
Hey Rachel, I do know there are many vegan greek yogurts, but I’m not sure what else to tell you. I suppose if you used the equivalent amount of mashed bananas it would work.
I have made these three times now (I love them!) with a ground flax seed “egg” substituting the egg and using 2T full fat coconut milk (from a can) in place of the greek yogurt and they turn out just perfect!
Hi Ashley,

Love the idea of adding applesauce – I must try that! Thanks!
YUM!!! I just made these and they are AWESOME!!! Not fluffy like in the pic but maybe if I added more baking powder. But I also added applesauce because I had no apples. They are my new fav!!!! Thank you!!!
Thanks Liz! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them. Thanks for the feedback!
Jessica, these pancakes sound so so delicious – Just wondering, how many calories in each pancake and how many carbs? I can’t wait to make them!!! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Ilene,
I’m sorry I’m just getting back to you! I don’t know the exact measurement for them but they are very low in carbs and calories per pancake as compared to regular pancakes. I hope that helps!
These pancakes are amazing. We have made them 2 weekends in a row and the whole family loves them! My 3 year old eats them and my husband who has to eat gluten free because he’s allergic to wheat! Delicious and we know they’re healthy! Thanks for the yummy recipe! 🙂
Hi Kim,
So glad your family loves them!! You’re so welcome and thank you for the feedback!
