❔Commonly asked questions
These banana oatmeal pancakes can be made gluten-free by simple using certified gluten-free oats. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contamination may occur during processing.
The number one reason that these pancakes turned out to be gummy is that you have overmix the pancake batter. Do blend it until just smooth, not over blending them.
If you are still unsatisfied with the texture, try adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This will definitely help lift and fluff up the pancakes, giving them a lighter texture !
These vegan banana oatmeal pancakes are freezable. Simply store them in a zip-top bag and place a sheet of parchment paper in between every layer of pancakes to prevent them from sticking. They are then ready to be frozen for up to 3 months.
