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.

In the past I had tried banana oatmeal pancakes recipe, but it did not go to well. When I tried your recipe I really enjoyed them and most of all it was so simple to mix all the ingredients in a blender, who would have thought.
Anyway what is the serving size for this recipe.
Kimberly
Love this recipe! It says the vanilla is optional but go with the vanilla trust me lol
I did add two more ingredients which were cinnamon and butter extract and it was delicious. I also cut the recipe in half, it made 6 medium sized pancakes. 3 or 4 pancakes topped with some fruit will fill you up!

2x a week for the last 2 years. Hands down family favorite breakfast. Even works great subbing flax eggs for a vegan option with more fiber. Just grind the flax separately first & sub 3 T water for the egg white one. SO GOOD! Thanks! ???????? ????
Erika
These are amazing! I made 6 a medium-sized pancakes and they were perfect for 2 of us! Will make this again 🙂
Suzi
Super easy and tasty, definitely adding to the recipe box! Only change was adding a little cinnamon.
Hannah
Great substitute for traditional unhealthy pancakes. Kids loved it! Easy to make, excellent texture and a fav for a weekend morning ????
Ronda
Could you use an egg replacer for the eggs in this recipe? I have an allergy to them and am curious if a substitution would work. Thanks so much!
Imelda
I use normal full cream milk. Great recipe that I’ve used over and over again. They are healthy but delicious version of pancakes without all the sugar and refined flour which is what I love! Totally guilt-free pancakes. Thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love, love, love these pancakes. They are so healthy and I eat them for breakfast as well as a snack any time of the day and without guilt-- they are so satisfying. I have been making them for years after finding this recipe and to that end, have modified it a bit as well. I don't use maple syrup, I use "Whole Earth" (monk fruit + stevia sweetner). I put all the dry ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the oats are ground to a pretty fine grain - then add the wet ingredients. Additionally, I've found that it's best to let the mixture "sit
a bit, about 5-10 because the oats seem to soak up the wet ingredients and the mixture can get too thick; therefore, I'll end up adding some more liquid until I get it to where I want -- not too thick and definitely not too soupy. I sometimes I don't use the banana but add about 2 very generous tablespoons of [organic] unsweetened applesauce. These pancakes can be a little dense in texture as writing IMO and I find the applesauce helps. I also play around with the liquid; I'll use plant protein milk like RIPPLE or Good Karma in place of almond milk altogether or, sometimes use 1/2 of each. The eggs are key in this recipe, I have to use at least one whole egg, makes the pancakes fluffy. I double this recipe and it last me a week. Once cooled, I put all the pancakes in a ziploc gallon plastic bag and use eat them whenever, popping one in the micro --- ahhhh. I actually think they're better the next day. I've turned the neighbors onto these pancakes and they love them too! Enjoy!

These are the best Banana Oatmeal Blender pancakes I have ever made. As I almost always do, I added my own little touch. I added a teaspoon of Cinnamon, a tablespoon of Bee Pollen, and a fourth of cup Coconut Flour. (I've always had trouble cooking pancakes with oats as the only grain). I will definitely make them again and maybe add chopped walnuts the next time!

Absolutely love this recipe. All of my friends and family know this is my go to pancake recipe. I started making them during quarantine and still don’t get sick of them. Thank you!!

I've made these so many times now! They're wonderful! I was looking for a healthy recipe without flour, and these are it. I love the oat flour because it's better tasting than whole wheat. I love the runny consistency of the batter, and when I pour it straight from the blender, they turn into perfectly cute round circles. This is my go-to recipe for a lazy Saturday.

Best GF DF pancakes ever!!
I just made this for my husband and I and we loved them! I subbed in coconut milk for almond and used semi-frozen banana (I switched it to the fridge 30 min before). I didn’t have baking powder so I made a baking soda, cornflour and lemon juice mix. They came out perfect! So much banana flavour! Topped it with some raw honey and more frozen banana but it was good on its own like thin banana bread! Even using my cast iron skillet and some ghee. Delicious!!
Next time for an experiment I’m going to give it a go subbing in green banana flour for the oats and cashews for the eggs!
