Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

Fabulous pancakes you can make in your Vitamix and (be proud to) serve the whole family

Last Updated October 26, 2021

New and exciting! This recipe is part of our new Printable Ebook: “7 Vitamix Recipes to Make First.” Check it out!

You want pancakes from scratch. And you want them to be fluffy and delicious.

But you’d rather not feed your family dessert for breakfast.

Try these oatmeal pancakes.

They’re vegan, hearty, but still deliciously fluffy. So, so good.

The story behind these blender pancakes

I’ve made a version of these oatmeal pancakes in my Vitamix since starting Life is NOYOKE in 2012. But it’s not because I love pancakes.

Being more of a savory-breakfast-eating kind of guy, this was more of a Vitamix trick than anything. You know, something to impress potential buyers.

Yes. I also mean potential buyers of me.

Shalva may or may not have been served a version of these cakes in an effort to woo her.

Fast forward a few years, and she’s officially sold!

So delicious. So easy.

Go make a batch today!

Useful tips for Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

Aquafaba, also known as chickpea water, is what we used in place of egg whites (an ingredient in the original). Our vegan french toast uses it similarly.

Where do you get aquafaba? Just make hummus (beet or roasted red pepper or edamame or sun-dried tomato basil or black olive)! And then save the water that comes in the chickpea can.

You can add some flaxseed for a little extra fiber and healthy fats.

If you’re low on oats, you can sub out for granola.

The recipe assumes you’re using store-bought almond milk. If you’re using homemade, dilute with a bit of water.

Top it how you like! Pictured is strawberry compote (frozen or fresh strawberries heated in a saucepan)and coconut flakes. Peanut butter or blueberries are also great on these pancakes.

    I make my garbanzo beans in the instant pot. Can I use the liquid from this?

    Tried these for the first time this evening… SO good! Just ordered a double-burner nonstick griddle so we can make more at once. :o)

      Yes! We just found ourselves saying we wanted a double griddle now that we have to make a double batch to feed the whole family

    I just made these. I’m not a vegan, but I made the cakes with the listed ingredients (plus one more date) and they are delicious! I don’t miss the butter sugar and eggs at all. Fluffy and filling without being heavy. This website is so helpful, thank you!

    I made it with left over coconut holiday nog instead of almond milk, and subbed 2 eggs for the aqua faba and my kids loved them! Great recipe, easy to follow, not a lot of fuss. Thank you!

    I am not vegan and I’d love to try this recipe with the egg white. How many eggs go in?
    Thanks!

      I have just bought a Vitamix and made these pancakes but the batter was thick and the pancakes would not cook. I added more milk to thin out the batter but still wouldn’t cook through. I added two eggs in place of the aqua faba as the viewer above. That is the only change I made. The batter smelled good though!not sure what happened.

    Made these this morning, and packed them up for my roomies with raspberries and maple syrup. They were DE-licious! Can’t wait to make them again.
