Years ago, I ate a gluten-free and dairy-free diet but still wanted to eat pancakes! I also wanted my kids to eat them too so they needed to taste amazing. After much experimentation, I created this DELICIOUS healthy pancake recipe and everyone loves them!
These Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are so easy and made right in the blender! These fluffy healthy pancakes are naturally gluten free and dairy free and contain no added sugar.
At the beginning of January, I wrote down some personal goals for my life. One was focusing more on my health and eating healthy, energy producing foods. As I’m trying to do that for myself, I am also working to provide those kinds of meals for my children. This goal has found me in the kitchen, creating recipes that still taste fabulous but have health benefits as well.
Why you will love these Healthy Pancakes:
- These gluten-free pancakes are made with all-natural ingredients: rolled oats, fresh banana, eggs, unsweetened almond milk, 100% real maple syrup, baking powder, vamilla, and salt. I love that these pancakes are both dairy-free AND gluten-free.
- These pancakes keep me full for hours and give me a boost of energy to start my day.
- These healthy pancakes taste SO GOOD! I received hundreds and hundreds of positive reviews (just read the comments below) because people love them.
Healthy Pancakes Ingredients:
This recipe calls for only 7 ingredients and most items you will already have in your pantry!
- Rolled Oats — use your favorite brand of rolled oats. For certified gluten-free rolled oats, look for gluten-free on the package.
- Fresh Banana — the riper the banana, the sweeter the pancakes will be.
- Unsweetened Almond Milk — use your favorite type of nut milk or use cow milk if you don’t mind using dairy.
- Eggs + Egg White — adds more protein to the pancakes and helps to bind the ingredients together.
- 100% Real Maple Syrup — this is an all-natural sweetener. I use real maple syrup with no-sugar added. You may also use honey.
- Baking Powder and Salt — for fluffier pancakes, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Vanilla Extract — for more warmth and flavor, add a touch of vanilla extract.
- Optional: Butter for cooking

Banana and Oatmeal Pancakes FAQ’s:
Absolutely! You can use any type of milk in this healthy pancake recipe. I use almond milk because almond milk has only 30 calories per cup and is completely plant-based. I have made these pancakes with cow’s milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and buttermilk and all are delicious!
Yes! These banana oatmeal pancakes freeze so well and are perfect for busy mornings. When my kids were younger, I would make a large batch of these pancakes and place in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and keep in the freezer until ready to use.
I am one of those people.
I LOVE to grocery shop. Anyone else out there thoroughly enjoy perusing the aisles of the grocery store?
A few years ago, Fry’s remodeled their store and put in a natural section, which is full of natural, organic, and even plant based products that are good for our bodies. I was so excited to call one of my friends, who has celiac disease, to tell her that she needed to get to Fry’s as soon as possible and check this out. I remember her telling me how far she had to drive and how much she had to spend to buy her specialty products and now finally there was a store where she could find her gluten and dairy-free products….all in one place.
I wanted to start with breakfast and create a delicious pancake that contained no butter, no oil, no dairy, and no gluten. Was that even possible? I am here to tell you that we have succeeded, people!
Banana Oatmeal Pancakes have become a staple in our home.
Since I have kids who leave for school at 6:00 am, 7:00 am, and 8:00 am, it helps to have breakfast made ahead for them. And with these pancakes, they are able to quickly reheat them and have a hot breakfast. We love to top these Healthy Oatmeal Banana Pancakes with fresh berries and real maple syrup.
I always have several cartons of SILK Almond and Coconut Milk in my refrigerator to use in my daily protein shake. I am on a dairy-free diet right now, so I decided to try making pancakes using almond milk instead of buttermilk. It’s amazing because SILK Almond Milk has only 30 calories per cup and is completely plant-based.
My kids are going crazy over these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. I make a huge batch of them and put them in a large Ziplock bag and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for busy mornings.
