How to Make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
- Make Oat Flour: add rolled oats to a high-speed blender or food processor for 1-2 minutes to create an oat flour texture.
- Blend: add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Cook: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter on a hot griddle or skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sides are set and top starts to bubble. Carefully flip them and finish cooking for 1-2 minutes on the other side.

A few of my favorite toppings include cashew butter, almond butter, almonds, walnuts, extra bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips, or maple syrup. Get fancy and use the blueberry syrup in our coconut flour pancakes recipe or try delicious strawberry compote in the spring.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
If you make a double batch on the weekends just place them in an air tight container or plastic bag and take them on the road with you to work for breakfast or a pre-workout snack.
How to store them in the fridge: allow them to cool completely then store them in an air tight container, plastic bag or silicone stashr bag until you’re ready to eat.
How to store them in the freezer: allow them to cool completely then store them in an air tight container, plastic bag or silicone stashr bag until you’re ready to eat. Pro tip: store them 1-2 at a time so you can warm up individual pancakes when you’re ready.
How to reheat banana oatmeal pancakes: warm them up in the microwave in 30 second increments until warm. If they’re frozen, allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge.

I’ve made these several times and my husband and little ones love them! Better than regular pancakes and so much healthier
Thank you!!
Best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had. My husband didn’t even realize they were gluten free. I could not wait to eat the leftovers the next day. I love the banana taste and the moistness. I added sliced bananas and walnuts on top with a sprinkle of coconut and a little real maple syrup!
Thank you, Kara! We make these all the time!
These are my go to pancakes! So yum!
These pancakes are the best! The only recipe we use now. My kids love them with chocolate chips and even come back later to eat the cold left overs, if there are any.
Thank you for this healthy, delicious recipe!
Same with us, Courtney! So glad your fam loves them.
I’ve been making these for at least 3 years. We love this recipe in our house! Another addition to the recipe is I add 1 to 2 Tbsp of hemp hearts to make it higher in protein.
