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

LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe

These were AMAZING. I wanted to bring a healthier option to a friend's birthday brunch and this succeeded big time. I doubled the recipe as I was feeding 10 people and that worked well. I didn't use Silk almond milk - I used the Aldi brand and it still turned out great. Will be making over and over again. Thank you for sharing this!

What is the individual serving size per batch?
Jamie
These came out really good! I substituted agave nectar for the maple syrup and used Greek yogurt instead of almond milk. Came out a little dense (not in a bad way). Will add a little water to thin batter out if I choose to sub Greek yogurt for almond milk next time. I also added cinnamon.
Jennifer Quintero
Wow, these are AMAZINGLY delicious! I am always looking for healthy alternatives to my favorites and these are better than traditional pancakes. My daughter even loved them 🙂
Alondra
Wow I made this today and my husband and I both looked at each other and said those are the best pancakes we’ve had. So amazing
Nour
They were absolutely perfect ! My entire family loved them, and honestly, how could they not ?! Fluffy, sweet, and healthy, those pancakes make a great breakfast and this recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you so much for sharing it Melis ❤️

I made these just yesterday and they tasted amazing. I was started to get bored of eating oats, but I need to to help with digestion and health. Making them into these pancakes (which are also gluten free) is co convenient. I plan to cook a whole batch and then just heat them up for breakfast when needed.
This will become a staple in the kitchen for sure.
Mindy
Amazing! I’m 18 and I can’t cook, but these were so easy to whip up in my little nutribullet blender. Made them ahead of time for school. Thank you!
Jennn
Man, are these good! I made this recipe for the third time today. I doubled it, portioned it out for the week. It reheats well in the microwave. I froze a few portions and will see how they defrost. The only change I make is to add cinnamon and whole blueberries to the batter. My go-to recipe now, which replaces the amazing good housekeeping recipe my mom always used.
Carla
How did the frozen ones turn out?
Anastacia
Finally found a healthy AND tasty pancake recipe! These were so fluffy and easy to whip up. I blended mine in my NutriBullet using only 1 tbsp. of honey and adding a dash of cinnamon. Definitely a keeper. Thanks so much
Julie
These turned out great, thank you!! I added some cinnamon and chia seeds. Loved!
Pam
This is a wonderful, delicious, easy recipe. Almost seems too good to be healthy! The pancakes are a nice, fluffy and light consistency and the flavor is great! Well done!!
Carys
Just tested out this recipe because I have friends visiting at the weekend. So yummy and easy! I can't believe you achieved this while keeping the pancakes so healthy and full of nutrition. These pancakes will become a staple weekend breakfast in my home.
Brittany
Just made these and ohhhh my goodness I just want to dance from the rooftop! So delicious! So fluffy! So easy! So fool-proof! I even overestimated the amount of oats I had on hand, so I improvised by using a package of organic/gf instant oats to make up the difference, and they STILL turned out amazing! I LOVE that you can just throw everything into the blender! Goodness I’m so happy! Thanks for a great recipe!!
Danielle
I made this and it was delicious, the only thing I changed was that I added 1 1/2 bananas. This first time I made them as stated in recipe, they were good but I wanted more banana flavor. Made them a second time and added another 1/2 of a banana, and that did the trick. This recipe made 12 pancakes, both times I made them.
Orit
Thank you!! I was looking for a healthier version of pancakes for my 6 year-old picky eater daughter, and it worked! She loved them and didn't notice a thing and so did I! They are delicious and tastier than the regular flour, butter, sugar pancakes! ????
Gabrielle
These pancakes were so so good!! No matter what recipe I use, even if it’s a mix, for some reason I am horrible at making pancakes. Maybe because I’m always trying to make them healthier. These fit the bill for healthy and came out perfectly fluffy, round and browned on each side. Word to the not so wise- don’t try and make the mix in a bullet or closed type of blender... it will explode all over your kitchen when you open it!
Shar
Hands down favourite oat pancake recipe, make it at least twice a week for me and the hubby.
Nora
These pancakes were amazing! Surprisingly fluffy! Printed out the recipe to use again and again.

Could I use maybe a hand mixer instead of a blender?
