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

We make these weekly in our house! I haven't touched the original recipe in 6 months but today I had some leftover sweet potatoes and did half banana half sweet potatoes with some Vital Proteins collagen peptides (we are trying to increase protein intake around here) - and they were awesome! I love how versatile this recipe is - thank you!
Sheila
These are wonderful. My two and three year olds ate them right up. Great recipe. This will be our new go to for pancakes.
Randi Robinson
Wow? These are good. I added cinnamon chips to the batter. Yummy! Banana, oats, eggs, almond milk. These are a health food.
Lindsey
Have been looking for an oatmeal banana pancake recipe that is still *fluffy* - this is it! I tried to up the protein by adding a half cup of cottage cheese (and a little soy milk) instead of egg white. Basically, I already had cottage cheese, and I didn't want to buy a carton of egg whites sooo... yep. Otherwise I followed the recipe. Result was teally fluffy, slightly sweet pancakes, with just the right amount of salt. Great balance! I like a couple of these with blueberries before I run in the morning. Thanks for this recipe - it's replaced all my previous go-to banana-oatmeal pancake recipes. 🙂

I made these tonight for my wife and I. I used fat free milk but followed the rest of the recipe to the letter. I used a 1/2 cup measure for each pancake. Made 6 pancakes, 3 apiece. Just right for the two of us. We both loved them!
Penny
These were the best pancake I have ever made! Love that you feel good after eating them rather than that sluggish feeling after eating flour based ones. Really filling since full of protein too. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe.
Kate
This was the first time I have ever made my 11 month old pancakes and he loved them! It was so nice to find a healthy, tasty recipe that I could make for him! My husband and I just finished Whole30 and were able to eat these pancakes too! I definitely don’t feel guilty about incorporating these interesting my diet once in a while! So good!
Eimear
These are so good! I'll definitely be making these again. thanks for the great recipe.
Julie
Loved these! I only had oat milk to hand, left out the maple syrup and added cinnamon and they were still delicious. Even my husband who hates anything healthy had to admit he loved them. Thanks so much!
Hannah
These were absolutely amazing! I didn't even need to use syrup, simply plain we're delicious. And they were loved by all of my family members, which is great as it is a healthy alternative to most breakfast foods. Thank you!
Angela
DELICIOUS!!! My 12-year-old daughter and her friend (who is completely gluten free) LOVED them! I was wondering, my husband doesn't really like bananas. What could I substitute for the bananas? Thanks for the amazing recipe. They are going to be a staple for breakfast!
Cassie Kotter
I'm allergic to bananas and am wondering the same thing. My kids LOVE LOVE these though!!
Jo-Ann
These are delicious and so healthy! I didn’t have maple syrup so used unsweetened applesauce instead and they were delicious! I didn’t even need any toppings! I did try a little honey and they were delicious either way. Thank you for a great, now go to, recipe!
Tricia
These pancakes are amazing!! They taste so amazing and are so easy and quick to make, that I have made them 3 times in the past week! My family and I love these pancakes, thank you for a healthy and delicious recipe! 🙂
Tricia
My family and I love this recipe! It is so good that I have made it 3 times in the past week. The pancakes taste great and the recipe is so healthy, they are the best pancakes for so many reasons!! Thank you for the recipe 🙂
Meghan
I made these this morning for my 10-month-old. Easy and quick! I left out the vanilla extract (or should I say, I forgot to add it) and the maple syrup. Even without any sweetener, I thought these were pretty tasty. Definitely a great base for toppings. I was worried about her choking so I just broke the pancakes up into tiny little bits. Thanks!
Stephanie
My husband and I love this recipe! We make it almost every weekend for Saturday morning breakfast. If we run out of maple syrup, we will use honey and it works great! Perfect for doubling and saving leftovers for breakfast through the week
Sara
My 12 year old daughter loves making pancakes she has made these twice now and they turned out really good both times, it's a keeper
Nikki
My one year old loves this pancakes and so do I!
Modern Honey
Hi Nikki! I love to hear when kids love these pancakes! Kids are honest critics. 🙂 Thank you for trying my recipe!
Anna
These are delicious! My kids and husband even loved them.
Nikolai
Added two tablespoons of peanut butter for extra protein and taste, they came out great! I'm 17 and wake up at 5 to make sure I'm on time for school, so having hot pancakes instead of my usual cold muesli was a nice change.
