Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
Looking for a healthy pancake recipe that’s flourless, naturally sweetened, and packed with nutrients? These banana oatmeal pancakes are just what you need!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas the riper, the better!
- 1 cup 100g rolled oats
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup 120ml milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- Pro Tip: Use extra-ripe bananas—they make the pancakes sweeter and easier to blend!
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend the Batter
- 1️⃣ In a blender, combine bananas, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
- 2️⃣ Blend until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter.
- 📌 No blender? You can mash the bananas with a fork and mix everything manually, though the texture will be a bit chunkier.
- Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- 1️⃣ Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
- 2️⃣ Pour small rounds of batter onto the pan.
- 3️⃣ Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form on the surface.
- Tip: Cook on low-medium heat to avoid burning while keeping the inside soft.
- Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!
- Top your healthy banana oatmeal pancakes with:
- Honey or maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, or apples)
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Chopped nuts for extra crunch
Notes
✅ Use very ripe bananas – The riper they are, the sweeter and softer your pancakes will be.
✅ Blend for a smoother batter – This helps get a texture closer to classic pancakes.
✅ Adjust thickness – If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add more oats.
✅ Flip gently – Since these are flourless, they’re softer than regular pancakes. Flip carefully!
✅ Make a big batch – These freeze perfectly for meal prep!
