Banana oatmeal pancakes are sweetened naturally and made with no flour. Top these healthy banana oat pancakes with fresh fruit, nuts, almond butter or syrup and serve!
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 You'll Need:
- 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 Long to Cook Banana Oatmeal Pancakes:
These oatmeal blender pancakes took me less than 15 minutes to make from start to finish. And they taste just as good as a regular pancake! 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 serve on top of Banana Oatmeal Pancakes:
A few of my favorite toppings: are cashew butter, almond butter, almonds, walnuts, extra bananas, blueberries, chocolate chips or maple syrup.
Can you eat banana pancakes the next day?
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.

Albert Bevia says
Love the use of bananas for sweetness, these pancakes look incredibly good and oh so healthy!
Kris says
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!
Molly Leonard says
Hey Kris! Love to hear that. Fluffy pancakes are my favorite:) Let me know if you give them a try!
Kathryn says
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!
Molly Thompson says
Thank you so much, Kathryn! So glad you like them!
Lisa H says
A simple to follow and delicious recipe
Light, fluffy..filling
Thank-you for sharing this fab pancake, I will make again 💕
Molly Thompson says
You're so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to share!
Kris says
The batter is so thick that it takes forever to cook,,, I feel there is way too much oats on this recipe
Molly Thompson says
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!
Jennifer says
my go-to pancake recipe for the family, thank you!
Molly Thompson says
You're welcome!
Jenny says
Can you make the mix ahead and refrigerate and cook as needed?
Molly Thompson says
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!
Christine Powers says
The best pancakes ever.... I make these every Saturday for my family and they love it.... very delicious.
Molly Thompson says
This is why I do what I do! SO thankful for you sharing this! Love it!
Amanda says
Can you refrigerate the leftovers ? Or even freeze them ?
Molly Thompson says
Yes you can! They will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. I love to freeze mine individually so I can have single servings of a pancake anytime:)
Jen says
Delicious and very simple pancakes I highly recommend, i used both maple syrup and honey!

Vickie says
Hi, can I bake them as muffins instead? At what temperature and for how long should I bake them if so?
Thanks so much.
Molly Thompson says
Hi Vickie! No you can't make these into muffins but I do have a banana muffin recipe on my site that's very similar. I would use that recipe instead. https://whatmollymade.com/healthy-banana-muffins/
