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
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of WhiteWave Foods. The opinions and text are all mine.
They are delicious but how did you calculate that calories and what is the serving size? You are not writing anywhere this information not even how many pieces you have from it. So I calculate it for someone who is interested. 85 cal is for 42g. By me 1 pancake has ca. 55g and they are small. So I would be really interested how you are making serving size and how much grams you are using.
Do you have any substitutions for the eggs? I am allergic to eggs and this is the Huge downfall of breakfast.
I use flax seed, extra banana, apple sauce, Greek yogurt, and extra baking soda or powder.
any exchanges and amounts would be greatly appreciated 🙂
I tried cooking it without blending, but the oatmeal was too prominent. I waited a little bit so the oatmeal would soak and it was better. I ended up blending the rest of the batter lol, and it turned out really good, family approved. I actually liked the oatmeal texture, so you could cook it without blending, but I recommend to let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes or so. Thank you a great healthy recipe!
I just processed but it is very thin. Too thin to poor on a griddle. I am waiting to see if it thickens.
I saw a pretty similar recipe but with two bananas (or equivalent to 1 cup mashed) that I almost made but then saw this recipe so I think I will try this. It just seems that two bananas would be a lot of banana and make them too wet and heavy right? It had the same amount of milk so not sure why the two bananas.
Delicious! I can’t believe there’s no added sugar. I topped mine with a bit of maple syrup and lots of berries. Loved them, I can’t stop thinking about them LOL. Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to make this every weekend.
Fantastic recipe. However just be mindful of the sodium content. I placed these at 8 pancakes with a serving size of two. With the baking powder it puts each serving at around 800mg of salt! Something to watch if you have hypertension like myself. Otherwise great!
I just made these! I didn’t have any bananas left, so I added 1/2 cup of applesauce. Way too much applesauce, so I added a little more oats hahaha, either way they are soooo yummy!! I am keeping this recipe forever and can’t wait to try them with a banana!
Super great! Moist with a very slightly chewy texture from the oats. Very subtle banana flavor. Will definitely make again. Thank you
These pancakes are WONDERFUL and easy! I used whole milk. Will try a sprinkle of pecans and cinnamon next time. Endless delicious possibilities with your great recipe. Thank you for sharing it!
