Cranberry Oatmeal Blender Pancakes
Reprinted with permission.
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (60g)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose or Bob’s gluten-free) (125g)
- (CCK Note: Vitamix’s recipe does not call for this, but I’d recommend adding a pinch stevia or 2 tbsp sugar of choice)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice (360ml)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (30g)
- 2 tbsp raw sunflower seeds (15g)
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a mixing bowl, and stir. (A trick for even fluffier pancakes: combine the first 5 ingredients in a Vitamix or blender instead of a mixing bowl, and blend for 20 seconds.) Stir in remaining ingredients to form a pancake batter. While waiting 5-10 minutes for the batter to set, lightly grease a medium skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, drop small ladelfuls of pancake batter onto the skillet. Flip pancakes, using a spatula, when the pancake edges begin to look dry. Allow to cook one additional minute, then remove from the heat. Serve with your favorite pancake toppings. Yield: 10-12 pancakes. Thanks again to Vitamix for providing this pancake recipe.

I just tried these because I just happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. The sunflower seeds and cranberries were nice. However (and I guess I should have noticed there’s no added sweetener before I started cooking), the raw batter was very bitter so I added 2tbs of sugar. Even with that, the cooked pancakes were a little bitter. They only tasted good slathered in syrup. I don’t think I could have eaten them if I hadn’t added the sugar – the bitterness of the flour is just too much.

Thanks for the feedback!! I agree with you and always include some sweetener in my own pancake recipes. I just went and added a recommendation to Vitamix’s recipe for people like us. 🙂
Lauren says
Hey so when you stack the pancakes for the pictures what do you do with them afterwards? Do they get thrown away or eat them all? Haha random
Webbyrå says
This looks delicious!!! I’ll definitely make this recipe some time next week. 😀
Grace says
Just made these but added half of a carrot and a bit of vanilla! The carrot really adds some sweetness and it’s perfect!

These were SO GOOD! I was skeptical because I’ve never made pancakes without eggs – but yummo!
Sam says
These are on serious repeat at my house. We aren’t vegan but frequently run out of eggs and when you love pancakes as much as we do, you need a good backup plan. These are soooo good. The way I make them though is to blend all of the ingredients together. You dont get to see the whole cranberries or sunflower seeds but you can taste them for sure. And you dont need any extra sweetener this way.
My girls just asked for pancakes tomorrow and I said you betcha, little ladies!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Sure!

Made these yesterday. My god, some of the fluffiest pancakes!! I did the blender trick. I used whole wheat pastry flour and some additional spices: cinnamon, ginger, and a dash of allspice (ran out of nutmeg) topped with local honey. Just delish! Grateful to have found your blog, since I’ve literally always cooked without eggs. Think I will feature them on my upcoming blog
