These light and fluffy pancakes will keep you full and satisfied without all of the fillers. These Banana Oat Pancakes are whipped up in a blender in no time at all. 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.

Easy to make and delicious!
Kim
Wow- these pancakes are the best I have made!
Substituted oats for oat flour, added hemp seeds, chia seeds and spinach to make it super healthy for my two year old and its DELICIOUS!
Thanks for this amazing recipe
Nyra Lang
After making these for well over a year consistently for my family
I wanted to comeback here and thank you for sharing, this is our
absolute favorite healthy pancake recipe.
We add coconut shavings to the batter after blending it and it adds a nice
texture 🙂
Eleanor
SO good! and easier to make than nprmal pancakes! Just made these for my dad and I and they’re awesome! Definitely will make again 🙂
Jen
I’ve been searching for a healthy pancake recipe for my kids for a while now and I’m happily to report that that search is over. My husband and kids love these pancakes!
Ro
I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this delicious pancake recipe. My 1 year old daughter and I devoured them as a snack and couldn't get enough!
Erica
Oh my gosh!
I made these with just 2 eggs and used honey instead of maple syrup, and almond milk with vanilla. These are AMAZing!!! Thank you ????
Lee
I have severe wheat allergy and have not had pancakes for over a year. O M G thank you so much. My family all sat down and had breakfast together and they loved them. My son had seconds, these are so good and you’d never know they were gluten-free- they are that good. Thank you!!
Alejandra
Thank you for this delicious, healthy and quick recipe!! I’ve been making it for the longest for my toddlers. Today was the first day that I did not feel like separating an egg so I just used 2 eggs and they came out perfect! Maybe even a fluffier. Thank you again!!
Kari
These pancakes are DELICIOUS and packed with banana flavor! I love that it has more fiber than the traditional ones. I can finally get my daughter to eat some oats! She requests adding some cinnamon next time
Kathleen
We just made these this morning and they were a huge hit! But I’m curious, do you think you could substitute oat flour for the oats? I was just thinking that way you could just mix everything in a bowl rather than use a blender. But anyway, they are delicious!
Valarie
These are so delicious and quick! Will make again and again.
Nina
Just had these this morning with sliced bananas and honey on top. Delicious! I added a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending. Surprised how fluffy these came out. Thanks so much for a great alternative to traditional flour-pancakes. Will definitely be making these again and again.
Lynn
We've been following the same recipe for banana oat pancakes for a while, but this time I didn't have regular milk, so we tried these. Wow! So glad we did. This is our new go-to recipe. They were fluffier and super easy to make. Thanks so much!
Ashleigh Woollett
I love this recipe, I added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and it worked a treat. This is a great Saturday morning protein boost topped with yogurt and berries. I've been on the hunt for some sugar-free recipes lately and this has to be one of my favourites.
Stella
Do you think I can just use 3 whole eggs instead? I hate portioning out egg whites from the yolk and having leftover yolk and would never buy a carton of them. Thoughts?
Nina
I just used 2 whole large eggs, and they came out great. Nice and fluffy. It's worth a shot.
Patricia Danielson
Just saw this delicious, healthy alternative for pancakes and decided to make them this morning. Much to my surprise, they were amazing! While cooking, I added a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few mini chocolate chips to the top while cooking. Just before eating, I added a drizzle of syrup. My husband couldn't tell the difference! Thank you so much for the recipe.
Maggie
I love these pancakes! I only used the eggs, oats, banana and almond milk and they were still so delicious! Will they stay good if I save half the batter to make the next morning?
Pamela
The pancakes were amazing I loved them!!! I have a question on the calories. The calories per serving is 80, and the recipe makes for 10 servings. Does that mean that all of the pancakes made are 800 cals? I ate half of them ???? so truing to get an idea of how many I need to eat.
Cat
I loved the recipe. The pancakes were light and delicious. My only comment is, why suggest coconut oil or butter to cook them. Both options are full of saturated fat. The American Heart Association opposes using Coconut Oil. I used olive oil spray and it worked great and kept the recipe healthy.
Stephanie
My kids loved these. I will be making it again!
