Nutty Granola Pancakes
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Added Sugar, Healthy Pancakes filled with oats, nuts, and coconut flakes. A hearty, filling breakfast!
If you've been following along on Modern Honey, you know that I have spent some time on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet in order to help with some of my health issues. I was amazed at the healing power of food! Since we are pancake fanatics in our home, I worked to create a healthier pancake free of gluten, dairy, and no added sugar. The key was it had to taste good so my kids would eat it!
After much experimentation, my healthy banana oatmeal pancakes were born and they became a hit in our family. My oldest daughter at college makes them all of the time and she prefers them over the traditional buttermilk pancakes. You would never guess they are full of healthy ingredients!
These Nutty Granola Pancakes are made with rolled oats, Bolthouse Farms® Plant Protein Milk, eggs, egg white, banana, baking powder, salt, vanilla, nuts, and coconut chips. If you want a touch more sweetness, add 100% real maple syrup.
I wanted to add in some filling ingredients to keep my kids full and happy. My Mom's favorite pancakes on the menu of a local breakfast spot are full of ingredients you would find in granola -- oats, nuts, dried fruit, and coconut flakes. Since the main ingredient in these nutty granola pancakes is rolled oats, it is easy to transform them into granola pancakes.
I love using Bolthouse Farms Plant Protein Milk because it is non-dairy, plant-based milk that contains 10 grams of pea protein per serving. To put this in perspective, almond milk only has 1 gram of protein per serving! I love that I am giving my kids a good source of protein and healthy carbs to start their day. Bolthouse Farms Plant Protein Milk is non-GMO, soy free and has 50% more calcium than dairy milk.
These Healthier for You Granola Pancakes can be made in a blender in less than 30 seconds! It makes them a quick and easy breakfast and cleanup is a breeze.
How to make Nutty Granola Trail Mix Pancakes:
- Add all ingredients except nuts, dried fruits, and coconut chips into the blender. Puree until completely smooth.
- Heat a large skillet or an electric skillet over medium or medium-low heat. I like to cook my pancakes on a lower heat in order to make sure they are completely cooked in the center. You may use a non-stick cooking spray or butter in the pan before adding the butter. I love to use butter because it gives the pancakes such a great flavor!
- Pour pancake batter onto heated skillet. Have the cashews, pecans, coconut chips, and anything else you would like to add ready to go. As soon as you add the batter to the skillet, start to sprinkle on the nuts and coconut all over the pancake. Flip when bubbles start to form and one side of the pancake is a light golden brown color.
- Flip and cook the other side. Top with butter, 100% real maple syrup, and fresh berries.

So, these pancakes are super yummy but how in the world did you get 12 servings out of this recipe? Are they suppose to be the size of a silver dollar? Granted, I have 3 hungry boys but I doubled the recipe thinking I would have gobs to freeze and I only had about 4 pancakes left over? 1 cup of liquid and 3 Cups of Oats for a doubled recipe doesn't seem like enough for 24 servings. What am I missing?

Love, love, love this recipe! I couldn’t find the plant Protein Milk but I used oat milk instead and they were amazing!!! We sprinkled them with blueberries, sunflower seeds, almonds, pecans, cashews, raisins and coconut flakes. Not all at once, but variations of the list. They were sweet and fluffy! No need to slather with butter or drizzle with maple syrup. They were perfection on their own!
