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.
I really like these but find that the center never cooks through. I’m left with wet/soggy oatmeal centers. Any tips to avoid this next time?
I figured it out! It may be because I used a chia seed egg instead of the real thing. I hope this helps other ppl running into the same thing. Eggs plus the egg white are really important here!
That is caused by your pan being too hot, so the outside cooks way before the center has the chance to cook. Lower the temperature to allow your pancake to fully cook through.
I have never have that problem, maybe reduce the amount of almond milk and make the pancakes not so thick.
These were delicious! Does it make 10 pancakes and is a serving one pancake. Trying to determine carbs for 3 pancakes.
My kids don’t like pancakes 🙁 – weirdest thing but definitely a treat for me! Easy to make, came out perfect and actually a pretty healthy breakfast. Saving this one!!
These are amazing! I just made them for the fifth time in the last few weeks. I didn’t have rolled oats and used the gluten free Quaker Oats and it came out just fine as well!
Thank you!
These are a HIT!
I’ve never made pancakes before. I’ve made these now 4 days in a row. They are light, and you can make them as healthy as you wish.
Do you have any others breakfast recipes I can try?
I highly recommend this recipe.
✌️
I never leave comments, but these are fantastic. I used regular skim milk but other than that followed the recipe as written. My kids and i all loved them!
These are amazing!!!
I just made this and yikes. I do not at all enjoy how the recipe turned out. It had the texture and consistency of oatmeal porridge and not of a fluffy pancake. Granted I substituted the eggs with flaxseed, so perhaps its failure is on my end. But needless to say, I didn’t like it at all. Sorry. ????
Why would you give this recipe a negative review when you completely changed the recipe? Of course it is a failure on your end!
???????????????????????????????????????? Thank you! If you change the foundation of the recipe, you’re not reviewing the recipe.
All in all, you’re giving YOURSELF a negative review because where did she say add flax seeds? try the real recipe then let her know 🙂 thanks
Make it the way the recipe says then maybe you’ll like it . If you alter the recipe than it’s definitely your failure
These were amazing. Even my husband who never gets excited about pancakes said this recipe was a keeper! Thank you!
Is 1 pancake classed as 1 serving? E.g. is it 85kcal per 1 pancake? Looking forward to trying!:)
Can you sub water for the almond milk?
I just made it with water and it worked just fine. I should probably note that I forgot to add the maple syrup.
The recipe made 2 cups of batter and I made each pancake using 1/4 cup of batter, so it made 8 pancakes.
Yeah I really want to know that too
i was wondering that too but reread the recipe and it says it yields 10 servings- so each pancake is 85 cal:)
The recipe is a good alternative to traditional pancakes. My only comment is that it definitely doesn’t serve 10 people. It barely makes enough for 2 adults and I made pancakes or 3 in diameter. Overall, fly oof recipe
