    Are Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Healthy?

    They're made with oats (which you can buy gluten free) and sweetened naturally with bananas and a little bit of maple syrup, which means they're great for the whole family, especially kiddos! 

    Ingredients

    • Oats ( I like Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Rolled Oats)
    • Banana
    • Dairy free milk
    • Eggs
    • Maple syrup
    • Baking powder
    • Vanilla
    • Cinnamon
    • Salt

    On top of being super healthy these banana oatmeal blender pancakes are also super easy to make. Just like my GF chocolate banana blender muffins, you put all of the ingredients into one blender and pulse on high for a few minutes. That's it!

    How to make banana oatmeal panckes

    Blend the oats by themselves to create a flour then blend the rest of the ingredients until smoothi. Pour 1/4 of the batter on the hot griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side then flip and do the same on the other side.

    What to top them with

    A few of my favorite toppings: are cashew butter, almond butter, almonds, walnuts, extra bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips or maple syrup.

    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 think my husband will love these. He's been making plantain pancakes but this will be a nice change. They look fluffier and will probably be much more tasty!

      Love these! They are soft and flavourful and delicious. Filling too! I actually got 15 pancakes out of this, even using the 1/4 cup to measure them out, so I’m happy with a calorie count of 45/pancake. Will be making these on a regular basis!

        Hi Kris! There is a note in the recipe/notes that says if you want thinner pancakes you can add a little more milk. That's always a great option!

        Hey Jenny! Unfortunately no because the baking powder will become bad, but you can cook them all the way through, freeze them individually and reheat for single servings!

        Hi Angela! Did you add enough liquid? They're a little more dense than traditional pancakes but shouldn't be pasty.

      I had some bananas that were getting really mushy and I didn't want to make another banana bread. I found this recipe and decided to make it - they are SO good. You don't need any butter or syrup with them. I don't usually leave comments, but this recipe was so good and easy to make, that I wanted to share!

      Too thick to pour into pan. Should be much easier to pour into pan to get consistent size and calories

        Hey Brad! The recipe note indicates adding more milk if you want your pancakes to be a little thinner. A lot of variables go into this, specifically how ingredients are measure and that could effect density. Definitely add milk a few tablespoons at a time to solve the problem. Thanks!

      I have PCOS which means I have a pretty restrictive gluten & dairy free diet. But I’m not much of a cook, so I’m always looking for easy & yummy recipes. I found this when I was searching for PCOS friendly recipes, and I’m so glad I did! My husband LOVED them too.

      This are super delicious and they made your house smell like..well I guess fall is the best way to describe it. I am so grateful I bought your book. Your recipes are super tasty. I was thinking maybe I could somehow make these into breakfast cookies? I'm not sure how I would go about doing that, but I thought that would be a good idea 🙂 Thank you again for your incredible recipes. I appreciate you!!
