Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are delicious healthy pancakes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. You won't miss any of it! There's zero butter or oil in these pancakes too. These light and fluffy pancakes will keep you full and satisfied without all of the fillers. These Banana Oat Pancakes are whipped up in a blender in no time at all. You won't believe how good they taste!
I am one of those people.
I LOVE to grocery shop. Anyone else out there thoroughly enjoy perusing the aisles of the grocery store?
When we were looking for a house to buy after moving from Texas back to Arizona, a huge pre-requisite for me was to have a Fry's grocery store close by. That may sound crazy but as much as I cook, I didn’t want my favorite grocery store very far away. We luckily found a house right down the street from a Fry's Marketplace so I am one happy girl. If you ever need me, I am probably there.
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.
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.
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.
These healthy pancakes are made with only 7 ingredients! They start off with hearty rolled oats, Silk Almond Milk, banana, eggs, egg whites, baking powder, salt, and a touch of REAL maple syrup. These pancakes can be made in 30 seconds in the blender. Kids can even make them! I use an electric griddle to cook 6 pancakes at a time. I whip up these super simple healthy pancakes in my Vitamix mixer. You can find one HERE.
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, put them in a large Ziplock bag and placed it in the refrigerator.
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 love having a store nearby where I can find all-natural foods, snacks, crackers, yogurt, baking items, bulk items, cereal, protein bars, frozen items, canned food, and even cookies all in one place. I tell my kids they can pick anything they want to eat from that section -- even cookies because I know they aren't made with all of the junk and fillers found in other cookies.
As I have been dieting, I have been spending a great deal of time perusing the aisles and checking out new products. I definitely shop the sales when I grocery shop and have found that buying real foods doesn't have to be expensive. I stock up on my favorite cereals and SILK milk when it goes on sale.

I can't wait to hear from all of you! How are your New Year's resolutions going? I can barely walk today because I joined a new gym and have been working muscles which haven't been worked for months. But it feels so good to be eating right and exercising again. I would love to hear how you like these Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. Thanks as always for your support! xo

I made a double batch of these yesterday with a bit of applesauce, chia, and flax added in, cooked in my mini waffle iron, and they were fabulous. I kept the leftover batter in the fridge, then quickly blended again this morning. My son said that the banana flavor was too strong, but he ate them fine, and chose them again this morning! I'm baking the rest as muffins, with a half teaspoon of mini chocolate chips sprinkled on top. They are a little bit spongy, so next time I'll add a bit more baking soda and unblended rolled oats, but they taste good, so I don't see them not getting eaten. Thanks for the great recipe!
Nikki
What's the nutrition breakdown for the pancakes per serving? What's considered a serving?
Christie
I've tried a lot of "healthy" alternatives to get my pancake fix while still feeling good about what I'm putting in my body and most aren't very good but this recipe is AMAZING! So delicious and I'm happy I found your website. I'm going to try to add in more things as I make them like peanut butter or chocolate protein powder.
Mariah
Hi do you have any ides how many calories for 1 pancake is? Im not sure how to figure it.
Veta
Easy to make. Delicious. I make a blueberry sauce with orange zest, blueberries, juice of iragne, water and stevia. Great breakfast treat.
Deb
I just ate these for breakfast today and they are yummy.
Courtney
This recipe was my first attempt at banana oatmeal pancakes... and oh my!!! They were even more delicious than any mix I have had before. No need to look for another recipe!!
Monika
These were by far the best banana oatmeal pancakes I have ever made. I have tried countless recipes online and these were moist and very flavorful. I doubled the batch and fed with that myself my husband two boys aged four and a two year old boy. Mind you the two boys eat like adults.
Thank you so much I'm never making different pancakes again!!!!
Jessica
Delicious! Thank you for this healthy recipe it will forever replace my shaker pancakes! Love that all the ingredients are things often found in a pantry and fridge.
Lucy
These are really great! As I am a keen advocate of high protein breakfast to kick start your metabolism for the day. I switched 1/2 cup of oats for 1/2 cup of natural whey protein and added 2tsp of milled chia seeds and they went down a treat!
Andre P
By far the best oatmeal banana pancakes I've ever tried to cook. Easy, fluffly and delicious! Many thanks!!!
Angela G
53calories per pancake (making 12/batch) i used Fairlife fat free milk. Unreal how good they are.
Liz
I've made this recipe multiple times, it's so good!! One batch fits perfectly in my ninja and makes about 12 to 13 small pancakes. I typically make two batches and keep the extra pancakes in the fridge (either warm in microwave or toaster).
Melissa, may I suggest you edit the 'serves' section of the recipe? Upon first glance it looks like this serves 8 to 10 people. My husband, 8 month old son, and I practically eat the whole batch. 🙂
Thanks for the great recipe. Take care!!
Aisha
Hi Melissa:
I make this recipe all the time, thku for sharing. Have you tried making the batter a day ahead of time and storing in fridge? I have a large group of family visiting in a few weeks and I was thinking since I will have to triple the recipe, making the batter a day early to save time. I’m going to do a test next weekend but thought I would ask you in case you have tried it in the past. Please keeping sharing your amazing recipes!
Jade
Just wondering how you went making the batter a day ahead? Ta ????

These are delish! I used cholesterol free liquid eggs, and coconut milk and they came out great. Will def make again! Thank you for the recipe!
Dawni
These are so good Melis! I made them for Erin's boys this morning and they gobbled them up fast! I love that you can just throw all ingredients in the blender and whip it up so fast. The bananas are such a yummy addition and I also love that they are whole grain oats. Great tasting and good for you!
Modern Honey
I may be 9 months too late responding but thank you so much, Dawni! Thank you for your sweet support and for trying out my recipes. I appreciate it. Love you!

I make pancakes very similar to these with Silk unsweetened almond milk and rolled oats (no flour). I omit the eggs and get the fluff factor from baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Their chocolate almond milk makes the best hot chocolate as well!
Modern Honey
I am a little late responding to your comment (9 months later..) but I just want to thank you for trying out the recipe and for sharing those great recommendations. I want to give it a shot. Thank you!
Raegan

Hi, I'm pretty sure dairy free means no eggs, so you might want to remove the "dairy free" from your recipe write up.
I'm going to try making them this morning 🙂
jackie
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, dairy refers to "all fluid milk products and foods made from milk." This includes milk, yogurt, cheese, ice cream, and butter. Eggs are not included. They belong in the meat, poultry, fish, and eggs category, and are considered animal products.
Autumn
Eggs are NOT dairy. Trust the dairy free folks. We definitely know.
Chad Proulx
dairy free refers to dairy - eggs have no milk or dairy in them whatsoever, and are definitely dairy free.
Annette Perry
Eggs are not dairy. Only products that come from dairy cows are 'dairy'.
Norkat
Eggs are not dairy!!!
Nicole
I can’t eat eggs so I would love to try your baking soda and vinegar recipe. How much baking soda and acv?
