Instructions
Step 1
Start by blending the green peas in a food processor until they reach a smooth puree consistency. This will be the base for your pancakes, providing not only flavor but also rich nutrients.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add the pea puree along with all other ingredients. This includes the ground oats, water or plant milk, minced garlic, and your choice of spices.
Mix well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps. After mixing, let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Step 4
These pancakes can be served with a variety of toppings. Enjoy them with coconut yogurt, cashew sauce, or an avocado-based green sauce. For added freshness, pair with sliced vegetables or herbs like cilantro.
Servings
These **vegan pea pancakes** are incredibly versatile! Serve them warm along with a dollop of coconut yogurt 🤍, a zesty cashew sauce, or a vibrant avocado dressing. Adding fresh veggies 🌿 on the side not only makes your plate colorful but also boosts the nutritional value. They also make for a fantastic appetizer at a gathering!
For a cozy family breakfast, stack them high and drizzle with maple syrup 🍁 or a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing twist. You can even make them mini-sized for a fun kids’ snack or serve them as part of a brunch spread among friends! With this easy recipe, every meal can be a nourishing celebration. 🎉
Equipment
A good quality blender is crucial for creating a smooth pea puree. Ensure it's powerful enough to handle frozen peas for the best texture.

Using a non-stick skillet makes cooking these pancakes easier and minimizes the chance of sticking. If you prefer, you can add a splash of coconut oil for extra flavor.
Variations
If you’re looking to customize this recipe, here are some delicious variations! To make it gluten-free, simply use certified gluten-free oats instead of regular oats for the batter. 🌾✨ You can also replace frozen peas with other legumes like **mashed chickpeas** or **lentils** for a unique taste.
For those who are searching for a vegan option, these pancakes are already vegan-friendly! If you want to heighten the protein content, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to the batter. 💪 This not only enhances nutrition but will keep you fuller longer, perfect for busy days ahead!
Faq
- What if my pancake batter is too thick?
If your batter is too thick, simply add a little more water or plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
- Can I freeze these pancakes?
Absolutely! Cooked pancakes can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month. Just reheat them in the toaster or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy!
- How can I make my pancakes fluffier?
For fluffier pancakes, try letting the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking. This allows the oats to absorb moisture and expand.
- Can I add other ingredients like spices or herbs?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with adding spices like paprika or dried herbs like basil for extra flavor. Just remember to balance it with the other ingredients.
- What's the best way to flip the pancakes without them falling apart?
Gently slide a spatula underneath the pancake when it's cooked on one side. Be sure to wait until the edges look set before flipping to avoid breakage.
- How can I make these pancakes more filling?
To increase their heartiness, add ingredients like chopped nuts or seeds, or serve them with a side of fruit or nut butter for extra protein and flavor!
