Description

These flourless oatmeal banana pancakes are made with simple, nutritious ingredients like oats, bananas, and eggs. They’re naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Plus, they come together in just 10 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluffiness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 12 tablespoons milk (dairy or non-dairy, as needed)
  • Butter or coconut oil, for cooking

Optional Mix-Ins:

 

  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips or chopped nuts
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/4 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. Blend the Batter:

    • In a blender, combine banana, eggs, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Blend until smooth.
    • If the batter is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it slightly.
  2. Preheat & Cook:

    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease with butter or coconut oil.
    • Pour small circles of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the skillet.
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear and edges start to set.
    • Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  3. Serve & Enjoy:

    • Top with fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, replace eggs with 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flaxseed + 5 tbsp water).
  • For a protein boost, add 1 tablespoon protein powder or Greek yogurt.
  • Store in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster!
