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

Hello!
I made your delicious recipe of these pancskes this morning. I will say I tweaked it by making oat milk myself in place of the almond. Still turned out very good. Next time I may sub flax eggs. I am not someone that likes to go to a grocery store, i prefer either buying local, online, preferably from small business, or grow it myself. It is getting hard to trust what is in grocery stores.
Thank you very much for the recipe, stay healthy and safe

Is it possible to sub something for the banana?? I really like them but my girls dislike the banana taste :/
I substituted unsweetened applesauce (about 1 cup + 2 tbls) & 1 extra tsp baking powder in place of eggs. I like doing this for health benefits but also b/c I think it helps carmelize the pancakes a little bit along with the banana in the recipe. Easy & delicious- will make again.
They are so good! Definitely give this recipe a try. Cake out super fluffy:)
Smelled great when cooking, but the batter was so thick that I could barely flip the pancake! This resulted in a very messy pancake. It turned out very egg-like and foamy. Although, the taste was a little salty so I will use less salt if I use this recipe again. It does taste good, I’ll admit. But its very hard to cook with.
I meant it was very runny. Not thick at all.
I make these pancakes almost every week! Super easy to store in the fridge and take for an on-the-go breakfast, or later in the day to satisfy a sweet craving. I don’t feel guilty eating these either because theres no flour or sugar! Love love love these.
Thank you for a great recipe! In case anyone is wondering, we used the batter in our waffle maker and the waffles turned out great! The recipe made 7 large waffles.
Made these for the first time today and they were delicious. Light, fluffy, hearty. My banana was frozen (I freeze all my overripe bananas), and I used unsweetened coconut milk beverage instead of almond milk. The blender made this recipe super quick and easy, so much so that I decided to make a second batch right after the first since it comes together so quickly. My family is not gluten-free, but I can see how these would satisfy a craving for anyone who can’t have gluten. Thank you for the recipe!
I have been exploring more dairy free recipes as I have a 14 month old thats super sensitive to lactose. These pancakes are amazing! I love the bubbly airy texture and can’t wait to make them again, thank you!
These are UNREAL. I truly think these are better than traditional pancakes. Oh. my. goodness. Topped with peanut butter, granola, and maple syrup, these are TO DIE FOR.
