These gluten-free oatmeal pancakes with buttermilk syrup are our number one most requested recipe.
Whenever friends or family come to visit, they ask me to make them gluten-free oatmeal pancakes with buttermilk syrup for breakfast.
Heck, our friends and family will even take it for dinner. Just so long as they get their gluten-free oatmeal pancakes with buttermilk syrup fix.
While the buttermilk syrup part of this recipe is definitely not the healthiest, it sure does make the recipe. Just feel good knowing that you are getting lots of fiber with the gluten-free oatmeal pancakes. Then don’t worry one bit about the syrup.
My personal advice? Make them occasionally and when you do, enjoy every single bite of those gluten-free oatmeal pancakes drenched in buttermilk syrup. Life is too short not to enjoy it.
Like I said, I get requests for this recipe all the time, and most of the time it’s from people who don’t even have a gluten allergy. These gluten-free oatmeal pancakes with buttermilk syrup are a hit for everyone. In fact, they are so famous in our family that they HAVE to be made every year when we do our annual Lake Powell family trip.
This became something that so many people were talking about that my uncle ended up having to make sure they were made on their company work trips too. The legend is strong you guys…
I do have to give credit to the our friends, the Allen family for the buttermilk syrup recipe and the Malaela family for the oatmeal pancake recipe. We loved both so combined them and BOOM, they were even more magical!

Sounds yummy!!! I'll have to give it a try! {Good luck with your new blog!}
What a great recipe!! I will use that for our family Saturday breakfasts!!!
sounds really good! Thanks for taking the time to do this page! How did you find out you were allergic to gluten?
Tracy, thank you soooo much for supporting my new website! It means more to me than you know! I found out 3 years ago that I had Celiac disease or gluten intolerant. I have been trying to make my life and eating as normal as possible since. I want to help others so they can get their information quicker than I did! 🙂 Do you know anyone with a gluten allergy? Even if not the recipes are great! You can just exchange gluten-free flour for regular flour 🙂
I'm so happy you made this blog! I will wear it out for sure. Everything looks great and the recipes sound yummy. Can't wait for Sunday morning to make some oatmeal pancakes!
Great Blog!!! Love you Chan
I have a similar recipe but you add coconut flavoring in place of the vanilla. It is so stinkin' good!
The pancakes sound great, I am going to have to try them!
Love your blog 😀
Lord these sound REALLY good! Can't wait to try them!
Made these for dinner tonight. I used guten free rolled oats, it was still fairly wet after sitting 9 hours, added a bit of gluten free oat flour to thicken it just a bit. Turned out delish, except for the first 2 I burned lol. My cast iron was too hot…pffft! Turned down the heat and the rest were delicious, along with the syrup, which we made with organic eggnog instead of buttermilk. It was so totally worth it! Although i do love the flavor of buttermilk syrup. We wanted to try something different. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Alura, I LOVE hearing all about your personal experience with our recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing…and funny enough, we are getting ready to make an eggnog version of those pancakes haha! Great minds think alike. 😉
Do you blend everything together or just stir it in in the morning?
Combine just the buttermilk and oats well at night then leave them in the refrigerator until morning. Then you will add the remaining ingredients and mix well before frying. Hope you love them as much as we do! 🙂
