It’s official…we heard back from the shelter yesterday and we have officially adopted the sweet little puppy!! We are so excited! She gets spayed on Tuesday and then we get to bring her home!
Anyhow, for this week’s What I Ate Wednesday I thought I would share my FAVORITE new pancake recipe: Pumpkin Pie Oat Pancakes that are perfect for Fall! I have fallen in love with oat flour and find that it bakes just like regular flour, keeping the texture and taste of baked goods the same, where as almond and coconut flour both change the texture and taste. Oat flour is also gluten-free and provides a good amount of protein and fiber.
In my experimenting when oat flour, I made banana nut oat pancakes a couple of weeks ago and they turned out so good that I decided to switch out a couple of ingredients and make them with pumpkin yesterday. The pancakes turned out even better! My husband and Keenan both gave this recipe two thumbs up and made sure that I officially wrote it down so I could make them again and again!
They are pillowy soft, not the tad bit dry or crumbly, and the best part is they taste like pumpkin pie! Top them with some maple butter or warm maple syrup and you will be in heaven…

Questions:
Have you baked with oat flour? If so, how did you like it?
What is your favorite pancake?
Dropping in to say hi from WIAW. 🙂 I am adding you to my reads!
Thanks for stopping by! I look forward to visiting your blog!
What a delicious idea!! I still have not tried baking with xylitol.
I love baking with xylitol since the ratio to sugar is 1:1 and the texture is very similar. I’ve tried stevia and use honey, as well, but I just love the way xylitol bakes.
I hope you can still be friends even if I don’t like pumpkin 😉
Of course! 🙂
Those look so thick and yummy!
Thanks! They were very tasty!
Those look delicious. I have been loving pumpkin too!!
Thank you; they were very good! I love everything and anything pumpkin right now! 🙂
Hi Melissa, Congratulations on the puppy! I am sure he/she will be a great addition to your family! Speaking food: I love your new cute Pumpkin Pie Oat Pancakes recipe! I am also a devotee in a church of oat flour. I substitute any flour I can for oat one. It gives more fluffiness to everything I bake. Have you noticed that? It might be a strange question but how do you make maple butter? Thanks for posting!
Thanks for stopping by! The pumpkin pie oat pancakes are SO good and even better with maple butter! Oat flour definitely makes things more fluffy! I practically use it in all of my baking. I don’t make maple butter; it was given to us by my brother and sister-in-law who live in Montreal. Every time they visit, I always ask them to bring some because I can’t find it here in California.
