Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes

Hi. Would this recipe work with all oat flour instead of the oats and flour? If so, how much do you think? I’m worried that my son (who has sensory issues) might not like the texture, but I would really like to find a good gluten free pancake recipe for him that is healthy and easy.

I just made these for Valentines Day breakfast, and they were amazing!!! My boyfriend was equally as pleased. The only modification I made was using a real egg instead of flax egg, and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!

You actually make it appear so easy together with your presentation but I in finding this topic to be actually something which I believe I’d
by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely large for me.
I’m taking a look ahead for your next submit, I will try to
get the cling of it!

These look delicious. I’m not a big banana fan (my bf is though). I saw a picture on pinterest with the caption Healthy and almost fell off my couch. Good job! Def. need to try soon!

I was craving something sweet and ended up making these for dinner. Trying to eat healthy and omg these are delicious!!! I used coconut oil and crunchy almond butter which makes them that much better! Ended up using a little extra milk. Great recipe,

I just found this recipe and it looks amazing! One question though: could this double as a waffle recipe? I can’t see why it wouldn’t because waffles and pancakes have the same ingredients, but you never know sometimes.

I just discovered this site the other day and there are so many delicious looking recipes! These pancakes are the first recipe I made, I made a double batch for my parents and I, this morning, and they were delicious! They were dense and oaty but in a good way. I will definitely be making them again and trying a bunch of your other recipes.

I am making these for new years day breakfast. I was wondering if I could make the batter in advance? how far in advance would be ok? Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try them!

I’ve just moved and I can’t find my go-to pancake recipe so I searched the internet. I was disgusted with all the chocolate chip pancake recipes I was finding. All involved added white sugar and all the pictures showed these thin, white, boring pieces of blah. As soon as I seen your chocolate chip pancake picture, I knew this was a good recipe. I’m not vegan but I love to use flax and oats are essential to a delicious, hearty pancake (in my opinion). Good job, the only criticism I have is that the recipe makes such a small batch. Next time I will be doubling it at least! Thanks!

This has become my family’s go-to gluten free pancake recipe. I always triple the recipe so we have leftovers. Today I mixed it up a bit and replace some of the banana with pumpkin – it was a huge hit. Thank you!

Has anyone tried freezing them?

These are my favorite pancakes, and I have been cooking different kinds of pancakes for years! We have them every Saturday morning now. I use almond milk and almond flour to make them gluten-free. I’ve also found that letting the batter sit for at least 5 minutes to thicken before cooking makes the pancakes hold together better. Thanks so much for this wonderful, healthy pancake recipe!

Saw the link on FB last night and made them this a m. Delicious and nuitrious and a welcome change from my two ingredient cookie breakfast.

These look so good! I’d love to give them a try.
Would an egg work in place of the flax egg?

These look delicious and must be really healthy!

I made the batter the night before to make it faster on school morning. Slightly hard to flip but kids loved them and I love giving them a whole grains breakfast! Thank you.

Question…
If I choose NOT to make it with the ripe banana, applesauce or any other fruit purée, is there anything I should add more of or perhaps less of?
I am not a fan of cooked banana at all! Despite, I gave it a try with this recipe anyway. Ignoring the smell and taste of banana in these pancakes, I thought they weren’t bad. The chocolate chips truly helped LOL.

These tasted wonderful! I used regular egg and milk since that works for our diet. Only problem was they they got nearly black before they were firm enough to flip. They weren’t burned exactly, but got so dark that I really had to convince my kids to try them first. A double recipe was just right for a family of 4. Very filling and tasty!

Delicious pancakes! We make them at least once a week! Most requested breakfast at our house! Can you make a vegan apple cinnamon pancake recipe?

Just made this recipe for breakfast and doubled it so I could share with the whole fam- so good and easy!! Love the texture with the oatmeal in it. Thanks so much!

I’ve made these twice! SOOOO GOOOD! I just added some unsweetened coconut and peanut butter because I didn’t have almond butter. Thank you, these are a new staple in my kitchen

Winner! Perfect and Delish. Thanks!

Pumpkin subbing: Disappointed to say that substituting the banana for Libby’s pure pumpkin did NOT turn out well :( I was out of bananas and figured the pumpkin would give it a similar mushy texture but I ended up with a pan full of unflippable, yucky, messy batter that just did not firm up. I know it’s entirely my fault for changing the recipe and I’ll definitely try it again someday with the banana!

Is there any way to modify this recipe to make it into banana bread but with the same taste?
Would adding more flour work?

I made these over the weekend using a real egg instead of vegan egg, peanut butter instead of almond butter, & skim milk instead of almond milk. I topped them with banana slices & a few extra semi-sweet chocolate chips. Added a glass of milk and…..perfection! I will definitely make these again, they were amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!!

This piece of writing offers clear idea for the new viewers
of blogging, that actually how to do blogging and site-building.

These look very good, and I am not a pancake person. I’m forwarding to my daughter who IS a pancake freak!

I used a regular egg and coconut flour. They are delicious but refuse to keep the shape of a pancake. They are more like pancake pieces. Any thoughts?

I love this recipe for many reasons. The primary one is that it’s DELICIOUS and it’s hard to mess it up. I saw this a few days ago and have made them half a dozen times already, yes- I had pancakes for dinner. They come out moist, soft on the inside but with crunch on the outside. You don’t need to add the syrup because they are plenty sweet. The picture was what really attracted me to this recipe and it just happens to be that my boyfriend is a vegetarian working towards becoming vegan so this recipe is definately going in our treasure box. I really did not expect to get such great results without eggs, milk and butter. This is fantastic. Thank you so much :)

I bookmarked this a while ago, but never had the chance to make it. This morning I found I had all the ingredients and OH MY WHY DID I NOT TRY THIS EARLIER it’s brilliant. Thank you for an amazing recipe. x

These look TO DIE FOR!!! I like way too many of your recipes…I don’t even know where I should start!

These are my favourite! I’m so happy I came across your website, I’ve been loving your recipes so far!

So so yummy!!! I did use actual eggs instead of flax eggs & peanut butter instead of almond butter. They turned out amazing!

These look amazing!! HAVE to make them sometime soon!

Could you use peanut butter in place of almond butter? And what could you substitute for the flax seed meal if you have none on hand?

Can you substitute chia seeds for the flax seeds?

Just made these with a couple of variations and Oh my amazing !! Thank you!!

Made these again……….this time used the almond butter, incredible! Daughter suggested heating maple syrup with chopped walnuts.

Delicious! I’m new to your blog, and absoloutely love your minimalist baking – very refreshing! Looking forward to seeing more!

OMG I saw this recipe tonight and couldn’t stop thinking about it so I loaded the kids in the car and went and got almond butter and chocolate chips. Came home and made them and they are scrumptious.

Can’t wait to give these a try! Looks delish

I made these this morning, they were delicious! I didn’t have any syrup because I’m out of 100% pure maple but I’ll try them with it next time. I think next time I’ll sub the whole wheat flour with coconut flour and see how they do or possibly leave out the flour all together.

Made these for breakfast this morning since I had a well ripened banana and homemade almond butter on hand. I used a gluten free all purpose flour and vegan mini chocolate chips. These were delicious. My only issue was the batter being thick and mine tended to slightly burn. After reading the comments I will add a little more coconut milk next time and lower the temp. I had it on medium but every stove is different. Despite all that, I ate the whole stack not realizing the calorie/carb counts. Next time ill do half-sies! Thanks for the recipe!

Can you make the “egg” with chia in place of the flax?

so i just decided to look back at where this recipe came from. turns out your name is Dana (so is mine) and you posted this recipe on june 22 (my birthday). how weird!! anyway, just wanted to say that it is clearly a majorly popular thing you have here since i put it on my blog (gastrogirl.tumblr) 8 months ago and as of right now it has 153,047 notes. it gained 32 as i typed this. you’re a rock star!

I made a double batch and they were delicious. However, they were not very fluffy and tended to break apart. I did everything exactly as the recipe except I used almond flour instead of all purpose. Would that make such a difference? Any thoughts or recommendations so they will be fluffier and stick together better next time? Thanks for the recipe!

Looks so yummy!!!

These pancakes were delicious and very filling. Is this recipe supposed to serve two people? My boyfriend and I had double it. I will also have to adjust the liquid (milk), my batter was a little thick (my flour must have been too packed) and it was a little bit more difficult to handle in the pan… This recipe is a keeper!

These are AMAZING! I have eaten 1/3 serving of these everyday for the last 2 weeks. I’m addicted. I make them in advance and then heat up in the microwave; ready in 30seconds! It’s a delicious and healthy way to get in my carbs after my workout!! Thank you for this recipe!

DELICIOUS! I’ve switched the quantities of oats & flour and used a chicken egg, but otherwise exactly followed this recipe. They have lots of texture & flavour, but are still a little fluffy. Usually eating pancakes makes me feel sick and bloated, but these do not. I have been making these for my family every weekend, we love them.

I really want to make these, I’ve had the recipe saved forever now! But, I only have whole flaxseed, not flaxseed meal. Is there a way to still make these?

Just made these for my kids and they loved them, now I have a much better breakfast option for me and the kids. Thanks!!!

Wow! I tried these this morning. They are so soft, chewy, and crispy with gooey globs of chocolate, and bits of oats that they are exactly like oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie pancakes. I think you nailed this. The first two pancakes seemed to be clinging to the pan for their lives for some reason, which I think is because there might have been too much banana, so I added a pinch more flour to the rest of the batter and greased the pan a bit more and they turned out fine. So yummy, and really filling.

Holy cats! Tastiest pancakes ever. I used a real egg, peanut butter instead of the almond butter and also added in some fresh homemade applesauce and sliced almonds. Topped it off with some vanilla greek yogurt, bananas, and some raspberries. Delish!!

Sooo yummy!! I added some extra egg whites and a little more oats for a little more protein. Delish!

I was just curious if I could make these in a waffle iron? I am unable to make pancakes on my stove at the moment and would LOVE to try these out! Get back to me when you can. :)

Love this i wonder if you could bake themm??? Hmm

Just made these and they were so good!!

I LOVE making healthy pancakes, I do it at least once a week! These are def in my top 5 fav healthy pancake recipes. I added blueberries becaus I always like to get an extra serving of fruit :). I tried 1 pancaked w.o the BB and it turned out lovely. When I added the BB’s, it became a big mess and the cakes would not stay together – boo! O well, I can still eat them :) Thanks!!

I saw these on pinterest the other day and couldn’t wait to make them for our traditional sunday breakfast. My 3 year old daughter just said “these are yummy momma!” I agree. delicious. Made them just like the recipe said except I didn’t have almond butter so I used tahini and it was fine. They have to get pretty brown before flipping so I burned the first one. just fyi. anyway, great, easy recipe. thanks!

I’m interested in making these but I’m allergic to ALL tree nuts- almonds, pecans, walnuts etc. What would be a good substitute for the almond butter? Thanks!

Made these this morning for breakfast. Delicious! And very easy to make.

Im not sure if you have the nutritional info on this YUMMY pancakes which we absolute love, I can’t seem to see it anywhere on this post :( , but you think you could post the nutritional facts. Thank You

I’m making these now and followed to a T only doubled it I used coconut flour and read some responses and realized why they were so think. My main complaint is that they never binded together they remained just a blob that was hot instead of a blob in the mixing bowl. They never became pancake like ever. So bummed too cause I made kind of a brig deal to my family “breakfast for dinner!” So my tea maher tried it again exactly as listed still no good. But your pictures are incredible and we had lots of fun in the kitchen.

Just ate these for breakfast! YUM! I added a dollop of vanilla greek yogurt on top of my stack and drizzled a bit of lite syrup over it. Love!

I’m totally making these tomorrow for Sunday breakfast!

I’ve made these pancakes more than a few times since first discovering this recipe. We love them! I use peanut butter instead of almond butter, an egg instead of the flax egg, and sometimes we use skim milk instead of almond. While I’m not entirely sure that they taste like chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, we don’t care. Whatever the taste, we can’t get enough of these! Thanks for posting such an awesome recipe!

I made these this morning for my family and they were soooo delicious! I did omit almond butter and used soy milk (my 9 year old is allergic to dairy, egg and nuts) but otherwise followed your recipe exactly and the whole family loved them! Next weekend we are going to try your blueberry muffin pancakes. Thanks for the yummy allergy friendly recipes!

I made these for breakfast yesterday. They were a HUGE hit!! All 3 of my kiddos liked them. I made them GF , but they were still easy to work with. I can see this becoming a regular in my house :)

Thanks for sharing.

this is food porn

I just made a version of these and it was amazing! I used egg whites since I didn’t have flax and I omitted the almond butter – they still turned out great.

Thanks for the idea!

Could you provide the nutritional information on this recipe! Sounds and looks deli sh, but I want to count WW points for it. Thanks!

can i use almond or coconut flour in sub for regular wheat flour?

Has anyone tried with pumpkin yet? It’s my favorite…just wanted to see how much to use in place of the banana, which I do not like at all. Thanks!

These are delicious! I add a bit of water to make the batter thinner. I make a double recipe and cook them all and have enough to reheat in the microwave every morning for an easy breakfast for the week.

Looks so extremely delish and yummie, love the fact there is no need for sugar. I definitely have to try this one!

These look fantastic! Do you know how many carbs they have? I am trying to see how many Weight Watchers points they are!

Made them this morning and they were delicious! They did not look half as pretty as yours, but I am thinking it’s because I used almond flour instead of whole wheat. Mine didn’t really keep any shape. But regardless they tasted great, plenty sweet (i used dark choc chips) and very hearty. Thanks!

Just wanted to let you know I found these on Pinterest. Made them and we loved them! LOVED!! Can’t wait for the rest of the bananas to get more ripe so we can have more. Thank you so much!

These pancakes are absolutely dee-licious and has instantly become a family-breakfast classic! We make it at least once a week. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this recipe! You’re taste is impeccable. I’m now a huuge fan of your blog. If you ever require assistance in recipe-testing as some chefs do, I’d be more than happy to contribute my time and efforts. Thanks again!

These sound wonderful! I have one question…does peanut butter work fine as well? Or soy milk? Trying to substitute with things we have :) thanks

What is a flax egg? Please elaborate! Thank you. Any substitute?

Funny story about these pancakes: I made a batch for myself last Saturday along with a batch of crazy not good for you cinnamon roll pancakes for the kids (please don’t judge me :-)). My oldest slept in and didn’t get to eat with the rest of us, so I stuck the rest of your recipe and his share of the “other” pancakes in the microwave with the intent of finishing the chocolate chip ones when I got home from the gym (again, no judgement allowed). As I was heading out the door, I told the oldest that his super special pancakes were in the microwave, assuming that he would know that I meant the ones swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with cream cheese frosting. When I got home from the gym, I opened the microwave for my reward for working out on Saturday and found instead the cinnamon roll pancakes. I asked my son why he didn’t eat his breakfast and he told me he had – he ate those awesome chocolate chip pancakes I had left for him! My husband then looked me right in the eye and said, “See what you’ve done! You’re turning them all into vegans!” I told him I intended the other pancakes for him, to which he replied he would rather have the banana chocolate chip pancakes any day. Thanks for the awesome recipe and for helping me quietly convert my children to veganism :-)

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome recipes!! I recently subscribed to your blog, and your recipes are amazing! I went vegetarian about 7-8 months ago, and have begun trying to eat vegan now for the past month or so. I was struggling with baking though, because I didn’t know what to replace eggs with. Well now, thanks to you, I have an egg substitute that works AND is healthier!

Tnx for the recipe I will try it this afternoon :)

I tried this recipe recently and I LOVE it! I eliminated the chocolate chips to stay on my strict diet, but they were still VERY good. Thank you for posting this! Side note: clean-up was a breeze!

I’m allergic to almonds, what can I substitute for the almond butter?

I used an egg, organic whole milk, coconut oil, and oat flour. They turned out delicious!! Thanks for the healthy recipe!

Hi my daughter is allergic to all nuts and seeds. Any suggestions?

i LOVE these pancakes!!! i add a bit of cinnamon and omit the oil, but they are so perfect. :) great post-workout or pre-homework fuel. i like to top them with more almond butter, more chocolate chips, and a drizzle of molasses. mmmmm…

Very delicious and healthy too! thanks for the recipe.

Very delicious and healthy too! thanks for the recipe

There’s fat and sugar in the choc chips.

Thank you! :) :) :) I’ll try this soon :D

Hi!! These look lovely :) I can’t wait to try them. But, how can i replace flax egg?

I’ve made these almost every day for breakfast for the past two weeks! SO GOOD!

These sound absolutely delish!! I just started with weight watchers. Do you know how many carbs if using whole wheat flour? Thanks!

Is the banana flavor very obvious? Hubbs hates bananas but I sure would like to sneak it in and try this recipe on him anyway! Or, could you recommend a substitute ingredient?

Gorgeous first post! I have added you to my RSS feed and look forward to more greatness.

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Pancakes are simply the BEST! I made them gluten free, and did not use butter cream because I did not have any and never used it before, but I don’t think it needed it because they were SO good. I also used soy butter. I keep my very ripe bananas in the freezer and when I need them I just defrost them and used them :) I have done these pancakes two times already and my kids, husband and I love them! Thank you very much, and congratulations!

Mine did not turn out looking like yours. They were yummy but I think my batter was much thicker! Perhaps I need to add more milk?? The batter was super thick!! Yours look way better and more like a pancake.

Also, I didn’t have chocolate chips so I replaced them with dried cherries and it was yummy!
