Make these easy, healthy banana oatmeal pancakes using a blender for a quick, satisfying breakfast. This recipe uses simple ingredients to give you a stack of fluffy pancakes without refined sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana (the riper, the better)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Cooking spray or oil for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats into a high-speed blender. Blend on high until the oats become a fine flour consistency.
  2. Add the ripe banana, eggs, milk, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using) to the blender with the oat flour.
  3. Blend until the batter is completely smooth. Do not overmix once smooth.
  4. Let the batter rest in the blender pitcher for 5 to 10 minutes. This step helps the oats absorb moisture, which is key for fluffy pancakes.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or oil.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes of your desired size.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center. You will see bubbles form on the top surface before flipping.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe or even slightly brown bananas for the best natural sweetness.
  • For a protein boost, add 1/4 cup of plain Greek yogurt or 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender.
  • If you do not have a blender, you can pulse the oats in a food processor first, then whisk all ingredients together in a bowl.
  • These pancakes are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
