What are Chia Oat Flour Pancakes?
Chia Oat Flour Pancakes are fluffy pancakes made of oat flour, chia seeds, and flax meal to add some wholesome fibre to this dish. They taste delicious with seasonal local peaches or any fresh fruit with maple syrup or honey! I like to garnish them with almonds and pumpkin seeds to add some crunch. But you can swap out the fruits and toppings with whatever you desire. These are perfect as a main dish for breakfast or brunch for the whole family to enjoy!
My chia and flax pancakes are made with finely grounded rolled oats which contain more fiber than white flour. I’ve also added some sprouted chia and flax seed powder which is high in plant-based fiber and protein! You wouldn’t even know it’s in these pancakes so it’s the perfect way to sneak in some fiber for yourself or for the kids. These chia and flax seed pancakes take about 30 minutes from start to finish and the pancakes are SO fluffy, thanks to the baking powder.
Ingredients
You will need the following chia oat flour pancakes ingredients:
Dry:
- Rolled oats or oat flour
- Flax meal powder
- Chia seeds
- Baking powder
- Salt
- White granulated sugar: or substitute with cane sugar or coconut sugar
Wet:
- Milk of choice: such as dairy milk, oat milk, or any nut milk if you're dairy-free.

Other:
- Coconut oil for cooking
How to make Chia Oat Flour Pancakes
- In a high power blender or food processor, blend all your dry ingredients until finely grounded about 1-2 minutes. Pour your blended dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Create a well in your dry ingredients and add oat milk, egg, and coconut oil. Using a spatula, fold to combine well until the batter is smooth and there are no clumps. Do not over mix. Let the batter sit for 3 minutes for the baking powder to allow the batter to expand.
- In a large pan on medium heat, grease it with some coconut oil on a paper towel.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter into your large skillet and fry until you see bubbles form all over the pancake. Adjust heat as needed. Then flip and fry on the other side until golden brown. Repeat process. Serve pancakes with suggested toppings.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pancakes can last up to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, microwave for 2-3 minutes or reheat on the stovetop in a pan on medium heat until hot.
Expert Tips
- Do not over mix the batter. Just mix until combined. This can cause the pancakes to become less fluffy and more dense in texture.
- Allow the pancakes to develop bubbles and solidify along the edges before flipping. The solidified parts of the pancake will look darker and the batter won't be runny.
- Insert a toothpick into the middle of the pancake and when it comes out clean, the pancake is cooked.
