My latest mission in life is to become the Queen of Healthy Pancakes, mother of oat flour, first of her name, the Queen of Sunday Morning Brunch, Tahini Queenie, Cinnamon Roll Goddess, along with some other titles.
If you have no idea what any of that is referring to, then let’s just move along. For those of you that get it, then you know that Game of Thrones is always on my mind. BEST SHOW EVER (especially after last night!)
Now let’s move on to these deliciously fluffy, healthy pancakes: BANANA OATMEAL PANCAKES made right in your blender. Can you believe it?
There’s no flour, no butter, no sugar or any kind of sweetener added. Which means these pancakes are made for anyone, including kids!
Ingredients in Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
These healthy pancakes are made with bananas, eggs, almond milk (or any milk), vanilla extract, gluten free old-fashioned rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. They’re very fluffy, naturally sweet thanks to the ripe bananas.
These gluten free pancakes also happen to be an awesome post-workout breakfast because they’re packed with healthy complex carbs and 12g protein per serving. YASSS.
How to make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
- Making this banana oatmeal pancake recipe is easier than you think. Just place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Let the batter sit for 2 minutes in the blender while you heat your pan.
- Add olive oil or coconut oil to a griddle or large nonstick pan and place over medium heat. Add pancake batter 1/3 cup at a time. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and tiny bubbles appear around the edges. Flip and cook 2 minute more.
- Serve pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. Enjoy!
How to keep pancakes warm
You can absolutely make these pancakes ahead of time and keep them warm in the oven. Simply place oven at 200 degrees F, then add pancakes to a platter or oven-safe plate and place in the oven until ready to serve.
How to freeze pancakes
If you really want to make your pancakes ahead of time and serve them at a later date, you can place the pancakes on a baking sheet so they aren’t touching and place in the freezer for 30 minutes, then place them in freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to reheat, simply add pancakes to a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm.
I can’t wait to hear how you like these healthy banana oatmeal pancakes. They’re one of my new favorite breakfast recipes and remind me of banana bread. They’d be perfect for Mother’s Day brunch too! I recommend drizzling them with peanut butter and a little pure maple syrup.

Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes (made in the blender!)
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas (best when they have lots of brown spots)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let the batter sit in your blender while you heat your pan up.
- Lightly coat a griddle with coconut oil, vegan butter or olive oil and place over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add 1/3 cup of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-4 minutes until pancakes slightly puff up and you see a few bubbles along the edges.
- Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower the heat. I normally start on medium heat, then decrease to medium low later so that my pancakes don't burn. If at any point your griddle starts smoking, it means your pan is too hot.
- Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more oil and remaining batter. Makes 9 pancakes total. Serves 3, 3 pancakes each.

So I need to make these like now and it’s 8.52pm. They look so amazing and so yummy! Can’t wait to make then soon!
I’m all about breakfast for dinner (or dessert!) Hope you love them 🙂
Do you think this would work with a flax egg substitute? I’m allergic to eggs and these look amazing!
great question! personally i haven’t tried it but i think it might work if you add 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup extra almond milk to the blender.
Before I read this comment, I had already started making flax eggs the traditional way: 1 tb ground flaxseeds for 3 tbs water (I doubled this for the 2 eggs called for in the recipe). I don’t if it’s because the ground flaxseeds absorb a lot of liquid: I had to increase the amount of almond milk because the batter was not thin at all and the pancake didn’t cook evenly inside.
That happened to me too when I tried chia eggs, darn it! Pancakes were still edible but kind of gluey and weird in texture.
Loved it…and so did my kids. And super simple to make too…a deviation from my usual wheat pancakes..I used instant Quaker oats…and it came out just as nice. Thank you.
Perfect! So happy to hear that!
Could I use steel cut oats instead of old fashioned rolled oats? I read that they produce different amounts of oat flour so I was wondering what quantity of steel cut oats would be appropriate.
Can’t wait to try!
I wouldn’t recommend it as it will change the texture quite a bit in the pancakes!
Amazing! My new favorite pancake recipe.
So happy to hear that!
What is the measurement for 2 medium bananas? I’m looking forward to making these, yum!
About 1 cup mashed banana. Enjoy!
I’m totally going to make these for my 8 month old.
Perfect! Such a great breakfast for kiddos.
These are the world’s GREATEST pancake. They’re almost better reheated! I’ve put them in my toaster so it’s like a banana oat eggo. Would highly recommend the toaster trick 🙂
YES the toaster trick is the best! So happy you loved these ones 🙂
Thanks for this great receipt!! These are a great healthy alternative. I will definitely be trying the toaster trick as stated in other comments. Thanks again 🙂
Recipe**
Perfect! Let me know how it goes!
There is a banana allergy in my family. I am thinking of subbing with sweet potatoes. I would also like to know the approximate measurement of the bananas. Thanks
Personally I would try 3/4 cup!
Thanks for the tip. I will be making these pancakes tomorrow for breakfast.
Thanks again.
About 1 cup mashed banana!
Just made these pancakes and they turned out great.
Thanks
Amazing! Glad you enjoyed.
Since I’ve changed my eating habits to eating “cleaner”, I’ve been dying for some pancakes! I haven’t had any since they are flour based, so this is at the top of my list to make this week! Thank you!!
Perfect timing!! Hope you love these ones 🙂
I love healthy pancakes for supper. Plan on these for my next batch. Curious why you don’t include the sodium content in the nutritional information?
Love breakfast for dinner! It hasn’t been something I’ve ever had in the nutrition calculation, but you’re free to add the ingredients to a calculator, too, if need be.
Holly smokes !!! These are absolutely fantastic – and easy to make on a weekday morning!
Yes! The perfect weekday breakfast 🙂
Can you tell me what you mean by « old fashion rolled oats »? I used Quaker Quick Oats but am concerned I’m not getting the complex carbs.
These are the Quaker version of old fashioned rolled oats 🙂
YUM!!! My nephew loves pancakes and he would eat these up!
You should 100% make these for him! They’re amazing 🙂
Love these so much! Made them for kids and they loved them too!
Perfect! I’m glad they loved them 🙂
Would you have to adjust batter for waffles? I’ve been looking for banana oatmeal waffle recipe.
I‘m not sure it would work well for waffles but someday soon I’ll test it out and report back!
These work great as waffles, no adjustment to recipe needed. To be honest, that’s our favorite way to make these. I do leave them in the waffle maker for an extra minute or so before taking them out.
Amazing! I’m so glad 🙂
Yummy! These were so easy and so amazing. Thanks for a great breakfast boost!
Glad you liked them! My new favorite breakfast too 🙂
Best pancakes ever!
So glad you love them!
Sounds delicious! Can you bananas that you’ve frozen? Does it change anything in the recipe/process?
They are! I would thaw the bananas first. you may just need to use slightly less milk since frozen bananas usually hold more moisture.
Are you supposed to cook before freezing?
Yes, cook your pancakes first and then feel free to freeze them for later if you want!
Great receipe, made these this evening and they were amazing!! Topped mine with fresh nectarines, mulberries and a drizzle of honey!
That sounds incredible! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Used two frozen bananas, followed the rest of the recipe as written. They are easy and delicious.
Perfect! Glad you liked them. The perfect breakfast 🙂
I made these the last two Sunday mornings and they are divine! These are the easiest and best tasting GF pancakes I have ever made and definitely a staple in my pancake routine now. This time, I added blueberries to the batter and they were SO GOOD. my husband and I both loved them. Thanks Monique!
Amazing! So happy to hear that Sara 🙂 LOVE adding blueberries.
These are really delicious and extremely easy to make! I added a bit more vanilla extract and cinnamon but other than that followed it to the tee!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Perfect! Glad you love these Larissa 🙂
tres tres bon crepes bravo
c’est une des meilleurs recettes de crepes que j’ai manger bravo et merci
Glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Love this recipe. I make this when I’m meal prepping and freeze it for easy access. I make this one and the pumpkin blender pancakes. Great recipes.
Do you think it would be ok to use instant oats instead of steel cut? That is all I have at home, I can go buy some steel cut but I would rather use what I already have.
I would stick to the recipe and use rolled oats, but if you do use instant, let us know how it turns out — you may just need to add a little more!
These were so delicious! Thanks for the great recipe.
Absolutely! The perfect breakfast.
How much chocolate chip should I use for the recipe?
1/4 cup should be great!
Made these for a house guest I had who is gluten free and they were very tasty! Taste like banana bread. Will be making again for my family just because they taste so yummy. Had a couple of left over pancakes so I froze them to see how they turned out in toaster next day and it worked a treat. Lovely recipe.
So happy to hear that! I love freezing a batch for later, too 🙂
Hi Monique! I am soooo happy I found your recipe. I am a busy mother of 3 and just recently started having issues with gluten. When I read your recipe, it looked so easy and delicious. And it was!!! My children loved it and they can be picky eaters sometimes. So thanks for the recipe, I loved it. I will try it without eggs and use chia seeds instead so it will be vegan.
Hi Christine! I’m so glad you found this recipe and that the kiddos loved it. Thanks for your note and rating – let me know how these go with chia seeds!
Sorry I forgot to rate the recipe ;-).
Could you put this batter in a loaf pan and bake it?
I haven’t tried that, but I don’t think so. Pancake batter is generally much thinner than muffin or bread batter.
Perfect! So glad these are kiddo-approved 🙂 We’re working on a fix for the stars, too – thank you for the heads up!
So happy you found these ones! Love a good breakfast for dinner 🙂 Try these muffins, too, – great for milk supply.
I love your recipe!!! Super easy! Can the batter be saved for the next day?
So happy to hear that! I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure it could!
Hi I just made these and they were still wet from the inside no matter how long I cooked. Are they supposed to be like that because of the bananas? I used half recipe and frying pan instead of griddle.. does that make a difference? Thanks
It could be perhaps because you halved the recipe or that your bananas were too moist/overly ripe. I’m not sure why they wouldn’t cook, as no one else has had this issue! Make sure to cook over medium heat, not high heat and I suggest making the entire recipe to ensure success next time!
I just made these with some chocolate chips inside with PB on top and LET ME TELL YOU! I’m never going back to regular pancakes after that. They are so easy and delicious!
YUM that sounds amazing! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Made them this morning and they turned out perfect! I used unsweetened vanilla oat milk in place of almond milk and did not add the vanilla. Used my cuisinart griddler set to 350 degrees and they were perfect-all of them! I like that they use oats instead of wheat flour. Glad I found your site, I will be trying other recipes.
Amazing! So glad you found this recipe, and I hope you find more that you love 🙂
Just made these and added blueberries to them….Wow they were so delicious!! Took no time st all to make… will definitely make these again!!
Perfect!! So easy and delicious 🙂
Amazing! So happy to hear that. We’re working on a fix for the stars – thank you for the heads up!
I was looking for a quick and easy GF/DF pancake that I can enjoy when my family has pancakes. These are great. I enjoyed them with s smear of Peanut butter and some mixed berries on top. They are fluffy and everything a pancake should be. I wish my blender was bigger so I could make these for everyone!
Perfect! So happy you found these ones. Love them with a little PB on top 🙂
These look so good but I currently
Only have steel cut oats instead of rolled. Do you think those would work as well?
Unfortunately I do not think it will work. Steel cut oats are different from rolled oats so you will end up with a much different, and likely inedible end result.
Made these this morning for breakfast and it was a great success!! Our 10 year old son loved them as well!! Super yummy pancakes and… they are healthy! I mean; what more do you want 🙂
Would rate it at 5 stars but can’t click on the stars…
Amazing! So happy to hear that. We’re working on a fix for the stars, but thank you for your note 🙂
I follow the recipe and came out like gum and raw. Not making this again. What a waste of ingredients.
Sorry to hear you had trouble with the recipe, as others have had much success. I would suggest trying again and making sure your baking powder is fresh and new!
I love it!!
Pncake banna is my favorite 😀
Made these today, with a couple of tweaks! I doubled the recipe in this way and use weight for most since I track macros:
* 359g banana – 3 VERY ripe bananas (another day they’d probably be trash lol)
* 240g of oats (based on the 1/2 in gram measurement on package, I did that to get to 2 cups but since I weigh, I’ve no idea if it was actually 2 measuring cups full)
* 215g Crushed pineapple (to be honest I had some leftover from another recipe – so probably around 1/3 or 1/2 cup)
* 3 whole large eggs,
* 30g liquid egg white
I used Califia Farms toasted coconut almond milk (1 cup)
Doubled the rest of the stuff
This gave me about 16.5 pancakes (I used an ice cream scoop for consistent sizing and because I track macros). These have more carbs than I’d normally like, especially compared to protein… BUT, I made some egg whites and Canadian bacon on the side to balance. Served with some fresh blueberries and sugar free maple syrup (I KNOW I KNOW, but #goals)
Thanks for this! Moist and delicious. I plan on freezing the rest for easy meal prep breakfasts!
So glad that you liked this one! 🙂 perfect for freezing too!
Hi Jen,
Can you tell me what the macros were on these? Also what was the serving size?
Thank you 🙂
Delicious and filling! Only problem I had was removing all the batter from my blender. I didn’t want to waste any of it!
Glad you enjoyed! Those blenders can be tricky – I’d recommend a small spatula for the last bits 🙂
easy and delicious just how i like it!
The best!! Glad you like them!
these are the best pancakes! my 1 year old absolutely loves them – pretty sure they’re her favorite food! i make these on a very regular basis, and keep them in the freezer for a quick and delicious breakfast (for the whole family 🙂)
wondering if these could be made into muffins? or if you have another toddler-friendly muffin recipe you’d recommend… just for a slightly more on-the-go option!!
Amazing! So happy to hear that. I have tons of delicious muffin recipes that are perfect for kiddos. These are my favorite and you’ll find all of my muffin recipes here!
Absolutely loved this recipe. My wife woke up wanting oatmeal and I wanted french toast. So I saw this and it was super easy, quick and delicious. I did substitute almond milk with vanilla soy milk but it came out wonderfully. These are now my favorite go to breakfast since they literally take minutes to prepare, cook and serve. Awesomely simple but delicious!
Amazing! So happy you two loved them!
These are so yummy! It’s nice to be able to eat pancakes-knowing they are actually healthy! Thanks Monique! And wishing you all the best on the birth of your baby boy 💕
Absolutely! And thanks so much, Jenny 🙂
Love this recipe it is my favorite . I also make stove jam when I make this. 1 cup fresh berries 2 tsp sugar cook oon medium 15 minutes cool for 15 min
Delicious! Love that idea.
Hi! Love all your recipes! They’re a life saver. First time trying one of your pancake recipes. Can you sub regular milk in place of the almond milk?
Hi Anna! Glad you’re loving the recipes here 🙂 and yes, feel free to use regular milk!
This pancake recipe is soooooo good!
Glad you loved these!!
yummiest and definitely easiest pancake recipe i’ve made in a while! added 2 scoops of collagen peptides and some chocolate chips! so good ate them as i cooked them (also because my 4 mo old can only wait on mommy to play for so long lol) can’t wait until she can eat them too!
Love that! These will be perfect for your little girl, too 🙂 glad you enjoyed!
Wow, how EASY and DELICIOUS?! I almost never write reviews but holy cow that was amazing! Thanks!!
So glad you loved them! Thanks for the review, Marina 🙂
Just made these today since I wanted to use my ripe bananas. I added Half chocolate chips and half blueberries. Sooooooo good! I can’t stop eating them!
Yum! The perfect breakfast 🙂
These pancakes are amazing and so easy to make! My kids are super picky and they gobbled them up! Thank you Ambitious Kitchen
So happy to hear that! Such a great breakfast 🙂
Delicious! My 3year old daughter loved them.
So happy to hear that!
Delicious! Everyone in the family including my 2.5 year old loved them. I added hemp hearts and chia seeds for a little extra health boost 🙂 Will be a new morning staple – super easy and yummy.
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
These pancakes were delicious and so easy to make! My family loved them and we didn’t even put syrup on the pancakes, just a bit of butter. The best part is that everything is made in a blender so there’s practically no mess. Absolutely delicious and healthy, too! I’ll be making these again for sure.
OMG – these are so good & so easy! Just started a clean eating program and cut out all sugar – these made me so happy. And – the husband didn’t even realize they were gluten, dairy, & sugar free.
So glad you found these! One of my all time favorite pancake recipes 🙂
I made these yesterday morning and made enough to freeze as well. I don’t like oats at all but they taste amazing in the pancakes and you can’t really taste the oats to much. I will be reheating the rest today for breakfast.
Really good recipe and easy to make.
I love freezing pancakes! Great idea 🙂 so happy you liked these!
These were the perfect texture and flavour. I halved the recipe and added a teaspoon of custard powder. Thank you so much for this recipe.
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed!
This has become my go-to pancake recipe. So simple and full of good stuff! And I always have the ingredients. I sometimes add in blueberries or chocolate chips
Amazing! So happy to hear that. Love these with blueberries or chocolate chips!
These pancakes are absolutely delicious! I substituted the eggs with two flax eggs to make them vegan. By doing that I noticed it thickened the batter, so next time I plan to add a little extra almond milk or water to get a better consistency.
The flax eggs will tend to change the consistency a bit but I’m glad you enjoyed them regardless!
Wow! They were delicious I did only one banana and added a flaxegg instead and topped it off with strawberries and shredded coconut with chia seeds and maple syrup. So yummy ! Definitely will be making them more. They’re super easy to make! Thanks so much for the recipe!
So glad those swaps worked out well! Perfect breakfast 🙂
Made these yesterday for my kids breakfast – big hit. And I’m delighted there basically eating porridge (Something they won’t eat) plus an egg. The added bonus of chucking it all in the nutribullet for minimal mess, It’s a win for this mamma. I followed the recipe to a T with gluten free oats, upped the cinnnamon to a heavy tsp- that’s it. Thanks
The perfect, healthy breakfast! I’m so glad the kiddos loved them 🙂
I’ve made these 4 times since popping up on this recipe in December 2019. Love them. Easy to make, tastes great , freezes well and travels great. My new breaky staple. Making some now lol.
So happy to hear that! They’re my absolute go-to, too 🙂
I used oat flour and mixed everything by hand and this recipe is perfect!!
Perfect! So glad you loved them!
The best oat pancakes ive ever made and 100% this is the recipe that makes me want to make other recipes from this website. Two thumbs up 😁
So happy to hear that, Angela! I hope you find more recipes here that you love 🙂
This banana pancake recipe was delicious and very easy to make. We really enjoyed these
So happy to hear that!
Delicious! I used coconut milk because I had no almond milk on hand. Made 8 pancakes, four for me and four for my husband. We will definitely have these again! Thank you for sharing!
Yum! Glad the coconut milk worked out well!
These are so delicious, easy, and healthy! Thank you so much! I also love how not flat they are lol
Absolutely! Fluffy pancakes are the best 🙂
i was looking for a tasty healthy recipe for me that was also baby friendly and this is it!
Perfect! I’m glad you found these!
This is a great recipe! I’ve made some healthier style pancakes before and they are nice but texture can be a bit funny etc. Whereas these taste delicious and have a great consistency. Love that you can just chuck it all into the nutribullet too!
So happy you found this recipe! Easy and delicious 🙂
I have been making these for awhile with just eggs, oats and banana. But you perfected it. 💖
Love that! Great minds think alike 🙂
Hello- I literally just made these pancakes to share with my husband; we both loved them! It isnt too sweet so we were able to eat three each…! (thats 3x more than we would usually have!). A very simple recipe, thank you for sharing this. I love the idea that everything goes in at once into the blender…then its like BAM…lets cook! I added in a few chocolate chips on top…as we dont use maple syrup. Thanks again…the hubby has put in a request for them again!! 🙂
Hi! So happy you found this recipe – such a great breakfast and perfect with chocolate chips 🙂
I found something that my baby likes!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe ❤️
I added prune to help my constipated baby
I’m so happy to hear that! The perfect breakfast.
Made these today…they were soooo good!
So glad you loved them!
Thank you for the no bake receipe as I have no oven at present and like the easy recipes.
I font all your stuff to be excellent so healthy and easy to follow. God bless u and fam at this time.
Absolutely! I’m so glad that you’re finding recipes here that you love.
this was so easy and tasty! thanks so much!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed!
These are so good and so easy! They’re my go to pancake recipe. I sometimes add spinach to the batter! When I reheat frozen ones, I throw them in the toaster so they don’t get soggy! So good!
So glad you love them! The toaster trick is a game changer 🙂
These are the easiest most delicious pancakes I have ever made!! The only thing keeping hubby and I sane during the Covid19 quarantine! I’ve made them several time since being locked in! Thank you for making these so practical and delicious, Monique!
So happy to hear that! Perfect breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!)
absolutely delicious! Super simple to make too! Thank you!
So happy you loved them!
Made these this morning, They are really lovely. Light, fluffy, full of flavour & very filling. So simple also.
I needed to use up some bananas and rather than making the usual banana bread, I opted for these. They did not disappoint.
Perfect! So glad you loved them!
Made the flax egg the way Monique suggested in the comments. These were amazing. Made about 10 for me. I used large flake oats as that’s all I had. I’m trying to use ewht I have right now. Thanks Monique. Another grand slam recipe from you!
Perfect! Glad they turned out amazing!
These turn out perfect every time, new favorite pancake recipe!
So happy to hear that! They’re my favorites, too 🙂
I make this all the time for my boyfriend and he can’t tell the difference that it’s healthy and gluten free!! So easy, fluffy, and delicious. Thanks for sharing!!!
So happy to hear that! The perfect breakfast 🙂
My go-to recipe for healthy pancakes, and requested by my husband once a week. What I love – easy ingredients and no mess, everything goes into one blender jar. Thanks for the great recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that.
These were SO GOOD. It was easy and quick to make, it didn’t use too many dishes, the taste was phenomenal, and I didn’t even feel bad for eating pancakes cause the ingredients are so wholesome. I topped mine with a peach compote and some peanut butter.
The perfect breakfast! Sounds delicious with peach compote 🙂
An amazing recipe for a healthy breakfast. I added a little bit of vanilla sugar (just a teaspoon) since I didn’t have vanilla extract.
The pancakes turned out sweet and tasty!
Perfect! Glad you loved them!
I tried this today. So good! I shared this recipe to my family and to other people I know. Thanks for the recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Made them this morning with banana slices and drizzled with honey. My son and I had a feast. Yummy 😋
Delicious! So happy you both enjoyed 🙂
This is the absolute best healthy recipe I’ve made! It’s incredibly easy to make and the pancakes taste delicious. I personally hate all of the ingredients – bananas, oats, eggs – I couldn’t imagine eating them all together. Best recipe ever!
I’m glad you loved them regardless!
I used a cast iron pan and the inside was still moist/undercooked looking. I still ate it and no stomachache 😀
I was skeptical about making these because healthy recipes usually don’t end up tasting so good but OMG these were amazing!! Finally a healthy recipe that actually tastes GREAT!! I didn’t even add any syrup or honey or anything on top, I just ate them as is and they were so good! The only difference is I seared the pan with butter instead of olive oil (only a little bit) because I wanted it to taste more like a dessert. Thanks for sharing this delicious and healthy recipe! I will be making these pancakes forever now.
So happy you gave these a try! My absolute favorites 🙂 and delicious with butter!
I followed your recipe to the T and it turned out sssooooooo amazing! And exactly 9 pancakes turned out! Such a good recipe and toooooo yummyyyyy! I made a pear and apple compote to go with it and drizzles some organic honey o the pancakes. It was heaven!
So happy to hear that! Pear & apple compote sounds delicious 🙂
These are amazing. If you have leftover batter put it in a freezer safe container and freeze it! Then when you want some let it thaw over night in the fridge and set it out while you heat your pan. I put a spin on mine and added sliced bananas and walnuts before I flipped!
Great idea! Love that 🙂
Great recipe! They are a little tough to flip, making them a little thinner/spreading them out or cooking longer helped
Glad you enjoyed! And yes, feel free to spread them a bit before flipping 🙂
Hi! Was wondering if steel cut oats would work in this recipe?
Hi! I wouldn’t recommend it as the texture won’t really be the same.
These were delicious!! I sprinkled some vegan chocolate chips on the pancakes while they were in the pan, YUM! Thanks for the recipe!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
These pancakes are always in my freezer. I make a batch every few weeks to have on hand for breakfast for my little girl. I add flax seed meal and spinach to mine and she just loves them! I love all of the healthy ingredients and knowing that these pancakes help to start the day off right.
Amazing! So happy to hear you both love these 🙂
These pancakes are delicious!!! I halved the recipe to make it for 1 – perfect. And all of the ingredients fit well in my single serve ninja blender. Love!!!
Amazing! The perfect breakfast 🙂
I added flax seeds, chia seeds, extra cinnamon and milk and it was delicious!! Saving this recipe to make again in the future 🙂
I’m glad that worked out well! Such a great breakfast 🙂
These are absolutely delicious pancakes! I make batches and refrigerate to give to my granddaughter who can’t get enough of them. They are so good!
Perfect! So happy to hear that 🙂
Great recipe, very easy, I loved that you do it in the blender and from there to the stove, so neat. They were delicious! After blending I added a few blueberries cut on pieces. Thank you!!!
So easy! Glad you love them!
These are amazing!! Made them for breakfast
today. SO quick, easy and delish. My 10 month old loved them. Will definitely make again considering doubling to freeze some but they are just that quick and easy. Thank you!
Amazing! So happy to hear that. Such a great breakfast for kiddos 🙂
This are awesome pancakes. Really delicious and easy to make. We have made them every weekend since trying them!
Love that! The perfect weekend brunch.
Really nice pancakes! Incredibly easy to make in the blender. Thank you for the recipe!
So happy you loved them!
Amazing pancakes I topped them with almond butter and blueberries so delicious!
Yum! Glad you loved these 🙂
These were very easy and tasty. Best non white flour recipe I’ve had so far, and it was nice I didn’t need a combination of different flours! While I’m not gluten free, I prefer not to use refined flour when possible. I’ve already shared the recipe with friends! I made as written, next time I might try with the sweet potato or flax egg! Thank YOU!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
These pancakes were delicious! To make it vegan I used 1/3 cup apple sauce instead of eggs. The rise was great. Thanks for sharing!
I’m glad that worked out well! Perfect breakfast 🙂
THESE ARE SO GOOD! Might be the only way I make pancakes from now on. Blending everything up could not be easier, and they come out so fluffy!
So easy!! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Going to try to make these tomorrow! I know you said in your insta live that you wouldn’t recommend using a food processor, but I broke our blender by accidentally blending (unsuccessfully) a whisky stone while making a smoothie. Oops! Fingers crossed it works because they look soooo good!
They were amazing!! (and again, husband approved)
So happy to hear that!
Whoops! Let me know how they go in a food processor!
They totally worked in the food processor! I have the smaller size so had to do it in steps. Started with the oats, added the bananas, the eggs, then everything else. Didn’t seemed to have affected the outcome of the batter 👌🏻
Perfect!! Happy to hear that 🙂
AMAZING! And so easy! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!!
My daughter is almost 12 and loving being in the kitchen lately. She made your recipe for the whole family (doubling it) for breakfast this morning and these were some of the most delicious pancakes I’ve ever eaten… and I love that they are healthier than most recipes too!! I am holding on to this recipe, we will definitely be making it again. Thank you so much!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
These are great! I love how they are soooooo easy to make and do not require flour. A friend shared this recipe and I have since shared it with other friends.
Absolutely! So glad you love them!
Delicious!
Glad you enjoyed!
I don’t even like pancakes, but these were so good and I can’t wait to make them again! A huge hit with my family! And so easy!
Amazing! I’m glad you loved them!
Hey Monique!
I tried making these pancakes at home today. They tasted amazing! but they didn’t puff up like the Betty Crocker ones do. Next time should I put more baking powder? Or was there anything else that wasn’t right.
Thank you!
Hi! I’m not familiar with the Betty Crocker recipe but perhaps your bananas were too ripe/wet/large?
Wow wow wow, easy recipe and awesome pancakes!! Will do again for sure! Thank you!!
So happy you loved them!
thank you for this recipe!! I cannot cook or bake well and I’m trying to be as healthy as possible during quarantine and I’m running out of easy recipes that a novice can’t screw up. These were so amazing and SO EASY!!! I only needed a serving for one person so I halved the ingredients. These were amazing w my coffee. I’m actually feeling “ambitious” enough to try one of your recipes for dinner next 🙂
Thank you!!!
Perfect! So glad you loved them! I hope you find a new dinner you love too 🙂
These were the best pancakes ever. I don’t usually eat pancakes but these I would eat all the time
So happy you love them!
DELICIOUS PANCAKES !!!
supper yummy!
easy to make
Glad you loved them!
These take waaaay too long to cook.. they are so raw in the middle. I followed the recipe to a tee and cooked each pancake for what seemed like 20 minutes each. They are not worth it unfortunately
Were your bananas frozen before using them by chance? That’s the only thing I could think that would make them not cook all the way through. Also, make sure your baking powder is fresh!
Absolutely love these pancakes! We served them topped with fresh bananas and they were delicious.
Perfect! Glad you loved them 🙂
I thought these were pretty good! I had a hard time getting the hang of flipping them though- since they seemed to always fall apart. What worked for me was keeping the pan on low heat and putting a small spoonful of batter and then using the spoon to spread out the batter so it is thinner and easier to flip.
That’s a great tip! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I normally never leave comments/ratings on recipes but I’ve been loving this one so much and have made it so many times that I just had to! I always blend the oats before hand to make sure they’re extra fine. They always taste amazing and I feel even better knowing they’re made from healthy ingredients!
So happy to hear that! One of my all time favs for breakfast 🙂
I’m making this now. And the smell and it’s looking really fluffy and beautiful. Be right back and continue my review.
Oh wow! Soft, fluffy and taste really good.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. This will be on my To Keep file.
So happy you loved them!
Loved these! So easy and delicious! I topped mine with almond butter, fresh fruit and just a little maple syrup. Yummy!
Love that! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
These are so good! You don’t even need syrup. We made a batch and are freezing some. Added blueberries to a couple and chocolate chips to a couple. DELISH!
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
made these a few weeks ago and they were great! wondering if i could make these in my waffle maker?
Glad you enjoyed! I haven’t tried them in a waffle maker – they might be a bit too thin. Let me know if you do give it a try!
i went for it anyway… they actually came out amazing as waffles!! so glad i tried.
Perfect!!
These are amazing.I only made half the recipe and they still came out just right.
Perfect! So happy to hear that 🙂
Just finished my workout and saw a bowl of bananas just rotting in my fruit bowl, then I found this recipe and was like perfect!😅 So I made these for myself and family for brunch and they were so delicious, I used soya milk and everything else the exact recipe, came out so nice and fluffy 😊
Perfect timing! Glad you enjoyed!
These pancakes were really good! My only concern is I used 2 tsps of baking powder and I could taste it in the pancakes. Nevertheless, they were still wonderful, way better than box pancake mix.
Loved this recipe. And so did my kiddos. Saved some to freeze. Thank you so much for sharing! A new Family favorite
So happy to hear that!
I would suggest using only 1 teaspoon of baking powder instead of 2
that’s odd! feel free to reduce to 1 teaspoon but typically pancakes need a little extra to rise.
I made these yesterday and I should have doubled the recipe because I’m making them again today. All three of my boys raved about them, which is remarkable because one doesn’t like bananas and one hasn’t eaten pancakes in months. The batter was a little thick (and we like our pancakes a little thin) so I added maybe 1/4 cup more of almond milk. The boys liked them with chocolate chips. I liked them with blueberries.
Amazing! So happy to hear that. And yes absolutely feel free to thin out the batter a bit if you like 🙂
Love this recipe… I’m from india n my fuzzy eating boy’s just love these.. thank you for posting..
Glad you enjoyed!
I love this recipe!! I make it at least twice a week. I actually halve the recipe and make it in my magic bullet for ease. I also love adding cardamom! They also freeze really well in a freezer safe bag. Just put in microwave to defrost. I like them best with almond butter and fruits!
Perfect! Love that idea 🙂
THESE ARE SO GOOD AND EASY!!! THEY TASTED LIKE BANANA BREAD! I ADDED CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND IT MADE IT SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!
Love it! Glad you enjoyed!
Healthy, Easy and Delicious! This may be my favorite recipe ever! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely! Glad you loved them 🙂
This is perfect! I didn’t modify the recipe. I was skeptical that pancakes could be good without milk and flour, but they were delicious! My son ate five. 🙂
So happy you both enjoyed!
Just made these in my nutribullet! Now as we’re dealing with a natural product ie the bananas I think next time I will definitely check how thick the mixture is as my pancakes spread too easily so were thin. Perhaps I needed more oats to thicken the mixture so they’ll be nice and puffy! However they were delicious and we had them as a quick lunch simply smeared with butter. Hubby doesn’t like coconut…! Thanks for the recipe it was great to have a different pancake. I am thinking breakfast, with Greek yogurt, sliced banana and strawberries!
Feel free to add a bit more oats if the batter is looking thin! Sounds like the perfect brunch 🙂
Honestly, this tastes better than regular pancakes. Guiltless breakfast that tastes amazing!!!!!
So happy you loved them!
This recipe was sooo good!! I added pieces of walnut and chocolate chips inside of the pancakes. Delicious!!
Yum! Glad you loved them!
Made these exactly as directed and they were amazing!
So glad you enjoyed!
Definitely going to try these. Always looking for new breakfast ideas. I was wondering though if i can make these into muffins. If i put it in muffin cups and bake in the oven, would it bake well or would i need flour?
I’d recommend trying this oatmeal cup recipe or these muffins instead!
Second time I have made these for weekend breakfast and as a keen runner I am having them ore workout. They are so simple and delicious. Thank you.
Such a great workout breakfast! Glad you love them 🙂
These are my favorite oatmeal pancakes ever! I have tried so many different recipes and this one is, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST ONE YET 🙂 Thank you for this amazing recipe & god bless ! P.s. I just added more cinnamon because I love it and have tried these with both oat milk and whole cows milk worked great both times. Thanks again .
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
I’m obsessed! I love pancakes for breakfast, but they are time consuming to make and also not very healthy. This recipe solved both of my problems. Within 10 minutes I had some delicious, healthy, pancakes with minimal clean-up. Because they lack oil, they can be a tiny bit dry. Next time, I think I’ll plop blueberries into the pancakes to counteract this effect and add another touch of flavor!
The perfect breakfast! I do love adding a little butter and maple syrup, too 🙂 but blueberries sound amazing!
Wonderful! My 4 yr old asked for pancakes this morning, so this was a great quick recipe to whip together–usually pancakes are a weekend thing, here! I had to use a 1/4 c measure to get the same amount of pancakes. Otherwise it’s 👌
Perfect! Love some weekday pancakes 🙂
What a great recipe! My eight-year-old son wolfs these down. I substituted 1 T ground flax seed and 3 T extra milk per egg. Also, I used frozen bananas (thawed). At first I thought the pancakes might be weird because of the banana, but was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I try to eat low salt, and I made a batch for myself without the salt. The banana adds a lot of flavor to make up for the lack.
We have made this recipe three times in the last month. It is quickly becoming a staple in our home. Thank you Monique!
Amazing! So happy to hear that, Jeff 🙂 perfect family breakfast!
Taste amazing but can’t get pancake the flip with out it falling apart .. the pan side will be cooked however the top side is still raw snd does not flip
So strange! I would make sure that you’re not cooking them on too high of heat. When it’s too high the bottom cooks much faster and doesn’t quite let the middle start to set.
Love this recipe! My boyfriend and I make it once a week and are so pleased every time.
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
These were easy to make and the flavor is awesome! I have tried other similar recipes but I like the texture of this recipe the best. The only thing I changed was sprinkling extra cinnamon on each pancake. I served with organic dark maple syrup. So yummy! Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Love the idea of adding extra cinnamon 🙂
Delicious and easy. Didn’t have almond milk, so I used regular milk instead. I added 1T maple syrup to the batter before blending, ate it without additional maple syrup.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed.
Super tasty and very quick to make – would recommend!
Glad you enjoyed!
These were really good! I’ve made 2 ingredient pancakes before (just banana and egg) and while they do look and cut just like pancakes, they didn’t taste like pancakes. These were great – guilt-free and delicious!
This is the perfect alternative! Glad you found these 🙂
I have made these twice now, and it might be my new favorite pancake recipe!!!
I’m the type of person who randomly gets pancake cravings, so this one is perfect. Fast, easy, foolproof, and much healthier than “regular pancakes”. Both times making these I added sugar free chocolate chips and walnuts, which make them soooo good. You don’t even need syrup!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
How long would these last in the fridge?
Up to 3 days or so. They’re also great for freezing!
I made this today. It was very tasty. My 7 year-old loved it! I froze the leftovers. We will be eating this again tomorrow morning. Thanks for sharing it.
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Made these yesterday, and they are absolutely amazing!!! My mom doesnt like regular pancakes, and they are quite a hassle to make on a Sunday morning, but these are so quick and delicious! They took about 5 minutes and were such a big hit!!
The perfect, easy breakfast! Glad you both enjoyed!
Delicious!! I didn’t have vanilla extract but still very good!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I love this recipe sooo much!! I was wondering if you can use this batter in a waffle maker?
I’m so glad! I haven’t tried it but I think it might be too thin.
Delicious!
Glad you enjoyed!
Glad you love them!
Delicious healthy option – thank you!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
There’s a lot of iffy recipes out there on the web but this one is AWESOME! I love a delicious gluten-free recipe that actually works. I plan on trying some of her other pancake versions too. Thanks! 🥰
Absolutely! Glad you loved these!
These were delicious! Super fluffy and good flavor. I doubled the recipe and added a tablespoon of cocoa powder for an extra chocolate kick. Topped with fresh walnuts and maple syrup and even let the kids put a bit of chocolate syrup on top. Everyone thought they were great! Thanks for making a healthy recipe my whole family can enjoy. Will definitely make these again.
Love that! Glad they were a hit with the kiddos, too 🙂
These pancakes came out really good!! I love recipes that are healthy, simple and good!! I love that’s theres no additional sugar
Thank you
So glad you loved them!!
These are simple to make, but taste like banana bread in a pancake shape. I was looking for more of a pancake taste. I am going to try mixing this recipe with plain pancake batter to see how that turns out. Very filling and we ate ours as banana bread snack.
Let me know how it goes with more pancake batter! 🙂
This recipe was tasty and filling! I added extra sliced banana to one side of the pancakes and it made them extra moist. I recommend adding a spoonful of sugar to the batter for flavor.
I didn’t have any vanilla extract when I made, and they still turned out delicious.
So good! And yes feel free to sweeten these if you like.
I’ve made this recipe many times now, delicious!
Today, however, I had no bananas but a ripe plantain instead. It was risky but decided to try it anyways and it worked just the same. Husband reported that he preferred it with the plantain because the banana flavor was not as strong.
Perfect! I’m glad that worked out well!
I am trying to eat healthy and loose some weight. These were extremely delicious and my husband LOVED them. A way better way than eating oatmeal. These will be on our regular breakfast rotation!
So happy you both loved these! The perfect breakfast 🙂
They are just AMAZING!!! We wanted some easy pancakes that my 9 month baby could eat because we didn’t want to give her sugar yet… and your pancakes are just perfeccctt!!!! They are super easy, fluffy and yummyy!!!!!! We loved them so much that did them 2 days in a row!!! Thank you!!!
So happy you found these ones! The perfect breakfast 🙂
Haven’t had pancakes in awhile and I was looking for something healthy and of course delicious. These turned out great, would recommend.
I’m so glad you found these ones!
Super good & so easy to make!! Will definitely be making them again with chocolate chips next time!
Perfect! Glad you loved them!
I hope your day goes good thank goodness for your pancakes
Love the banana oatmeal pancakes
Glad you love them!
These were so delicious!! I made these as my post workout breakfast and I love them, so nutritious and a bonus high in protein, served with fruit these are the ultimate breakfast 👏
Love it! The best post-workout breakfast 🙂
Delicious
Glad you enjoyed!
Great tasting, easy recipe! I used it in the waffle maker and they were delicious.
Perfect! I’m glad they worked out well as waffles 🙂
Excellent and delicious recipe!!!! My finicky 16yr old and I love it!
So happy to hear that!!
These are perfect for mornings where you don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen and don’t want to make a mess! Plus they’re SO yummy!!!
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
These were delicious and so easy to make!
So glad you loved them!
Soooo good. Just made these. Turned out perfect without all the whisking buttermilk etc!!
Absolutely! So easy and delicious 🙂
My fiance and I love this recipe- so easy and healthy and has become a weekend brunch staple. I love to mix Greek yogurt and peanut butter to put on top (and maple syrup of course).
So happy to hear that! And that sounds delicious.
These are the BEST healthy pancakes I have found, I crave them every day. No other recipe has compared and I’ve tried many. They come out fluffy too! Thank you for this.
Amazing! I’m so happy you love them!
Really, really good! Love these pancakes!!
I’m so glad!!
Love this recipe!! I had been looking for a good vegan pancake recipe, I came along this one and saw in the comments your suggestion for egg replacements. I tried it today and wow!! Finally found a great alternative to regular pancakes! I had so many fails with other recipes and was thrilled when I saw how fast these were cooking and how great they tasted! Thank you
Perfect! So happy the vegan egg worked out well 🙂 such a great breakfast!
A new favorite breakfast hit in our house now! My family loves these pancakes and I love them for all the healthier choices! Any pointers in doubling the recipe, I have two strong active boys that can put away some grub?! Thanks so much, always love your recipes!
So happy to hear that! You can try to double everything! I haven’t done this but I think it would work well 🙂 they freeze amazingly well too.
Easy, delicious, satisfying. My husband and I enjoyed these very much! We will definitely make these again. I think they’ll be perfect to make ahead when I start baby led weaning soon, too.
Love that! Let me know how it goes 🙂
These were so great and easy to make! It was a success with my 3 year old as well. Thank you 😊
So happy to hear that!
These came out perfectly! I needed a quick BLW-friendly bfast for the fam, and this was it. Subbed one banana for an unsweetened applesauce cup 🙂 thank you!!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
I’m not sure what I did wrong but my pancake had no form lol flipping was so difficult because it was floppy and the bottom was burnt. I turned it into scrambled eggs and I guess the taste was quite delicious lol but not really pancake for me
It sounds like your pan may have been too hot! Try doing them over medium low heat.
Could I use a frying pan and just cook a couple at a time? Would the temperature be different?
Yes that should be fine! You might just want to decrease the temp a bit when doing another round of them if you’re finding that they’re cooking really fast.
eh they’re fine. taste kind of undercooked no matter how long I cook them. wouldn’t make them again.
Sorry to hear that! I wish I could help pinpoint the issue as this is my most popular pancake recipe. If they’re not cooking well I might suggest turning your heat down to medium-low.
Only gave 4stars because it wouldn’t let me give 5. delicious. Thank you so much.
Glad you loved them!
Delicious pancakes! Just what I was looking for, easy, quick and yummy. I used unsweetened soy milk and I had some quinoa leftover so I replaced 1\2 cup of oats with quinoa. This one is a keeper!
Perfect! I’m glad the quinoa worked out well!
These pancakes were delicious! They were super soft (probably due to the bananas) so patience is key when baking and flipping these bad boys. Overall loved them! Tasty and nutritious.
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
Just made these and ended up eating the all by myself, they’re soo good! 100% will be making them again
So delicious! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
This is my favorite go-to pancake recipe! I love that you can just throw everything in the blender – so simple and such easy clean-up! I always have all these ingredients on hand. I sub unsweet coconut milk for the almond milk since my husband is allergic and they come out wonderfully. I also always double the batch (family of 4) – I rarely have leftovers + my little ones are a huge fan as well. Thanks for posting this recipe! ☺️
The perfect breakfast! So glad everyone loves them!
These were delicious! I love that they are Not too sweet healthy, too! The perfect treat for a Sunday morning! Thanks for the recipe!
The perfect brunch! Glad you liked them 🙂
The pancakes are so delicious and light! I used Gluten Free Oats, added extra oat beverage to thin out the pancakes a bit, and some fresh blueberries! Very delicious, thank you!!
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed!
extremely simple recipe!! would recommend ☺️☺️☺️
Absolutely! Glad you liked it!
We had over-ripe bananas to use, and wanted something to make besides banana bread. Wow, these are so good! We didn’t have almond milk so used lactose-free milk. I forgot the baking powder but they cooked fine and were not too dense. We added about 1/4 cup chopped walnuts after blending, and sprinkled raisins on the top while the first side was cooking. Thank you for this delicious and healthy recipe!
Perfect! So glad you enjoyed!
OMG I LOVE this!! i didn’t know oat pancakes could be this good, i literally have them for breakfast everyday, i make them on sunday and freeze them!! amazing actually, pair it with tons of fruit and peanut butter, HEAVENN! i found a tip myself, if you are into calorie counting and want to have an exact portion of 3 pancakes, put the pancake batter in a 1/3 cup measurement and fill it a little bit less, scrape A lot in your blender and tara! 9 perfect delicious pancakes, again thank you so much for this recipe
Amazing! So happy you love these!
I’ve tried a lot of “healthy” banana pancake recipes, but this one was by far the best. Super easy because you basically dump everything in the blender and then fry. I halved the recipe because it was only me – and it halved perfectly … and I ate all of them! A keeper for sure.
Isn’t it easy? Perfect breakfast! Glad you loved these.
I’m so happy a friend told me about these pancakes. They are just as you said light, fluffy and delicious 😋. Today I doubled the recipe because I had 4 brown bananas. So, rather than throw the bananas away I made pancakes!!! They turned out perfect❤. Will highly recommend to friends and family.
Perfect! So glad you loved them!
These were absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Followed recipe as is and turned out great!
So happy to hear that!
Great recipe. Pancakes came out fluffy with a great texture! Will make again!
Perfect! So happy to hear that.
So far, these are my favourite oatmeal pancakes! The texture and even the fact that they don’t absorb too much liquid before cooking are high points for me. (Oh, and no added sugar and fat!) Thank you so the easy and fool-proof recipe 😀
So happy to hear that! Such a great breakfast 🙂
I make as often as possible, pretty much only buy bananas for this recipe and add a little bit of nutella (like 1/2 tbsp) it’s delicious! I was wondering, if I wanted some extra protein, could I add a scoop of protein powder in the batter?
So happy to hear that! And sure I think that’d work out just fine!
Was looking for a healthier alternative for pancakes because I LOVE pancakes for breakfast and I found your site and I have to say I LOVED these pancakes! I made my pancakes slightly larger so I didn’t get as many pancakes and towards the end of the batter I added a bit more almond milk. I am going to pass this recipe on to all my daughters! Thank you!
So happy you found this one! Such a great breakfast 🙂 hope your daughters love them, too!
I’ve tried doznes of healthy banana pancake recipes; This one is BY FAR my favorite! 🙌🏽 Light. Fluffy. Full of flavor. Absolutely delicious. Everything you look for in a pancake. I chose not to blend (just left the oats whole) and they turned out great. Would highly recommend! Wish 5 starts wasn’t the max. I’d rate higher if I could!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
Lovely recipe !!!!!!! Thank you for sharing it ! Can the batter be left overnight in the fridge ?
Thank you
I haven’t tried it, but let me know if you do!
These pancakes taste amazing! So quick and easy to make! And the BEST healthy pancakes I have tried. I love making these pancakes whilst dieting! 5 stars!
Favorite breakfast! Glad you loved them!
These pancakes were super delicious and easy to make. We added toppings of chopped macadamia nuts, flax seeds sprinkled into the batter with cacao nibs. Topped off with homemade applesauce and maple syrup.
So glad you loved them! Those toppings sound incredible 🙂
The best recipe till date! My older kid doesn’t like bananas but both my kids love pancakes. These easy, healthy and delicious pancakes won their hearts and my older kid went for 3 servings! You are amazing!
I love that! So happy they were a hit 🙂 such a great breakfast!
This was great! We never enjoy “healthy” pancakes, they’re always so bland but this had a nice flavor and was so simple and filling. New go to, thank you!
So glad you found these ones!
Hi! This looks really good and I’m just wondering, would oat flour work with this recipe? I just finished up my oats but i still have plenty of oat flour left!
That would be fine I think, you maybe need to reduce the amount a bit!
Delicious! I used regular milk instead of almond milk and also fried them in some butter
Perfect! That sounds delicious!
Okay, so this site is probably my new fave site for recipes, and I’ve been pretty true blue to another site for ages. Loved these pancakes. Mine didn’t look as fabulous as the ones pictured, but they tasted great. The best part? They’re healthy!
Amazing! So happy to hear that, Laura 🙂
This was THE best easy, healthy pancake recipe I have Ever stumbled on! Cut it half for one overripe banana, and it was totally dreamy. Health aside, something about using oats, which I always have/eat, over flour, which I find a pain to drag out, made this loads more approachable for me. And the blender ups the lazy factor which I adore! Came together from shelf to plate in minutes, sprinkled with my premade hippie mixture (chia, flax, hemp and pumpkin seeds), chopped walnuts, pineapple, kiwi and a lil shredded coconut. With as little maple syrup as I could muster, this was healthy And completely delish. This, is now the bar. Thanks for posting my new go-to!!!
Perfect! So happy you loved these! It’s great for customizing 🙂

OMG. These pancakes are so good! Fluffy, flavorful and delicious. My kids and I had such a sweet morning making them together (even if it was at 6am).
I really enjoyed these pancakes! Delicious with some fresh fruit and maple syrup! I really liked that when I ate them, they didn’t just taste like mashed up banana and oats. They tasted like legit pancakes with plenty of natural sweetness from the banana.
These did not turn out well, even though I followed the recipe to a T. The batter was super runny and the pancakes were so difficult to flip, batter would just go everywhere in the pan because of the consistency. They didn’t taste terrible, but not amazing. Definitely not worth it, ‘ll stick to my usual recipe 🙂
Easiest pancake recipe ever. Even easier than a box mix. So fast, so delicious. Always have these ingredients on hand. 10/10
Absolutely! Glad you love these 🙂
Super easy to make, delicious healthy pancakes, yummy!!!!
Glad you loved them!
Terrible recipe! They won’t flip it’s a disaster! Had to make it into a scramble. Don’t waste your time!
Sorry to hear that you had trouble, Rachel! I wish I could help troubleshoot as this recipe has over 100 5-star reviews. I might suggest making sure your skillet is on medium-low so that they cook through the middle better.
Just got a mini blender which suddenly makes new recipes possible. These are pure genius. No sugar aside from fructose in the banana. No refined flour. But what comes out of the pan is fluffy and almost decadent. Such a treat for breakfast with fresh fruit (We had a juicy pear). 100% making these again. No changes necessary. Perfect as they are.
Love it! Best breakfast.
These are RIDICULOUSLY easy and INCREDIBLY delicious!!!!!! The only problem I’ve found is…I can eat the whole batch in one day 🙂
So happy you love them!!
Can the eggs be replaced with egg whites (to reduce fat content)? Also, any idea how many grams or ounces of ripe banana is needed?
We haven’t used egg whites, but I’m sure it would work just fine. I suggest 3 egg whites. For the banana, you’ll need approx 240g give or take.
These pancakes are amazing! And so easy to make! I usually top them with a little maple syrup and some fresh blueberries but they really don’t need much. My husband takes them to go and eats them plain and he says they’re perfect! Thanks for the recipe Monique!
So happy you both love them! Perfect breakfast 🙂
love making these recipes! recipes are easy to prepare and well laid out for beginner cooks.
So happy to hear that!
I absolutely love thesse pancakes and so does my family including my 2 year old, thank you so much!! I substituted the egg with flax egg (flax meal) and used almond butter with water in place of the the almond milk. Have made them both ways and prefer the pancakes with the changes I made as this suits our way of eating. Thank you for this recipe, we feel fantastic when we start the day with these pancakes
I’m glad those swaps work out well! Such a great, nutritious breakfast 🙂
This recipe was the easiest dish to prepare and only the blender to clean up!!! I used the batter in my waffle iron and the waffles came out so fluffy and moist. I had a test waffle with maple syrup and the next day I toasted a couple up and made an ice cream sandwich with butter pecan oat milk ice cream. I LOVE this recipe!! It will be my breakfast go to. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
So glad it works in the waffle iron, too! And that ice cream sandwich sounds AMAZING!
Can you use frozen bananas??
Yes! I’d suggest letting them thaw and draining off the extra liquid first.
Made it exactly as recipe called for and the pancakes were delish! Kid approved, 2&4 yo ate them right up as they came off the pan (added some chocolate chips in some of them!) I will make again! Thank you! Made the house smell good too
I loved these! Totally satisfied my cravings for pancakes!
I’m so glad!
This is an amazing recipe!!! My kids did not notice anything different and licked their plates clean 😍
Hello! I’m looking to use up my container of egg whites. Will this affect the recipe if I substitute the egg whites for the whole eggs?
Thanks!
I made these for my 2 year old grandson and he loves them and always asks for more. A fantastic alternative to some breakfast cereals with hidden nasties.
So happy to hear that!
The best banana oatmeal pancakes I’ve ever had! When I have ripe bananas I peel them and put them in a ziplock bag in the freezer so I always have some on hand for when I am in the mood for pancakes.
Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Amazing! Glad you love these!
So good! Our whole family loved them. I added 1 cup of spinach and dinosaur shapes to make it extra fun for the kids☺️
Love that! So cute 🙂
Awesome pancakes, easy, love they are made in the blender!
Best breakfast! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I only have quick oats – will that work?
So easy and quick and so delicious! 10/10.
Every time I make these I tell my kids “these are so healthy. There is literally nothing bad in them!” I’m sure they are tired of hearing it, but honestly, they are so delicious it’s hard to believe they are this healthy!!we substitute buttermilk for the almond milk sometimes and they are equally delicious!!
I’m a little disappointed and I’m sure it’s probably something I’m doing wrong. There’s another pancake recipe I normally use but I decided to change it up. After reading comments I got excited and doubled the recipe, but I’ve been standing in front of my stove for almost an hour. They take soooo long to cook and are so hard to flip and then the edges burn and it’s not cooked through. So I just wasted so many ingredients and a clean pan lol they definitely taste good but I can’t get them to stick together.
I’m not sure what could have gone wrong here. It’s never taken me more than 20 minutes to make these from start to finish. Sounds like maybe a user error? I suggest double checking your ingredients, following the recipe as written and make sure you are not using frozen bananas or thawed bananas. Also please see my tips and tricks for making pancakes!
OMG….. are you kidding?? These pancakes really are the BEST pancakes ever!! I cannot believe it. My kids had no idea what was in them and they were devoured! I will never make regular pancakes ever again. Thank you Monique for your creative mind!! Wow…
So happy you & the kiddos loved them! Seriously my go-to 🙂
I was surprised at how easy these pancakes were to make and even more surprised at how delicious they are! And….they are healthy!! So crazy good!!! I’ll be making these again!
Fabulous!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Just made these: AMAZING!
Question: Do you have to have a high power blender or will any old blender work? if subbing oat flour, how much out flour will work? Any other subs for oats/oat flour? THANKS!
Oats are natually gluten free. 😉
I look forword to giving thes a try. Angel.
These pancakes were good. The recipe made 9 pancakes just as stated. Although they were tasty, they were not light and fluffy. I cooked them a very long time and found, like some other reviews, that the center never really completely cooked and remained ‘sticky’. I followed the recipe exactly except for using flax eggs rather than dairy eggs. I loved the simplicity of this recipe.
The flax eggs likely altered the texture in these, but I’m glad the taste turned out delicious!
Could I make the batter the day before and cook the pancakes the next morning?
I haven’t tried it, but I’m guessing that the batter would likely overthicken due to the oats, so I would not recommend!
I’ve made these so many times! My favorite pancake recipe. Absolutely delicious and they turn out perfect every time. I love how fluffy they get, how easy they are to make, and the clean ingredients! Perfect for the whole family and they freeze well for my 10 month old. Thanks AK!
Love that! Such a great breakfast for the whole fam 🙂
These are awesome! My husband wanted seconds! Thank you so much for this recipe.
So happy to hear that!
Made these the other day- so yummy! Can you use frozen bananas by any chance?
So happy to hear that! Yes – I would just recommend letting them thaw completely and draining off any excess liquid.
I’ve never reviewed a recipe on someone’s blog before but I just had to for these! SO perfect and fluffy and tasty, even without flour + sugar. Thanks so much for sharing xx
Thanks so much for your comment, Madie! Glad you loved these 🙂
Delicious and super easy to make!!! I made half of the portion and it still turned out amazing!
So glad you enjoyed!
I’m not much of a cook, but we had some extra ripe bananas and plenty of them already in the freezer, so I decided to try this recipe. OMG they turned out delicious! I cut the recipe in half and ate them all.
Perfect! So happy to hear that 🙂
This recipe is my absolute favorite! It is easy and I also love the fact that you just bled and pour into the pan and eat right away! We also freeze them!
Thank you so much for a wonderful recipe!
So easy and delicious! Glad you love them!
Reaaly delicious! Even better with toasted pecans, just spread them on the baking sheet and toast them in the oven for a few mins at 335°F/ 170°C. Loved it, thank you very much for the recipe!
That sounds amazing! Love it 🙂
Delicious pancakes! I always feel bad eating pancakes but these are very healthy and are super yummy!
The perfect breakfast! Glad you found these ones!
I am honestly obsessed with your website. Everything I’ve tried has been AMAZING. These pancakes are so delicious. I love the hint of cinnamon. Thank you for sharing !!
So happy to hear that, Stephanie! I hope you keep finding recipes you love 🙂
These banana pancakes are absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing your recipe, for a great Sunday morning breaky.
Absolutely! Perfect weekend brunch.
These turn out perfectly! I add d a couple of tspns of erythritol because I wanted to use less syrup on top. Served with maple syrup and toasted pecans and walnuts. Thanks for the fantastic recipe!
I’m glad that worked out well! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These were delicious and they cooked up so well! Fluffy on the inside and a bit crispy on the outside. I used coconut milk instead of almond milk and doubled the recipe. Since I only had two bananas, I subbed applesauce for the other two bananas. Cooked on a cast iron griddle using coconut oil. Had to turn the heat down to medium low. My many failed attempts at making healthier pancake recipes are kind of a running joke in my family, but everyone gobbled these up, so this one’s bookmarked and will be on heavy rotation.
So happy you found these ones! Coconut milk sounds, delicious, too. Glad they were a hit!
These are a hit every single time with my kiddos! Love that they do not have any added sugars. My one and five year old always ask for these! Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Perfect, easy breakfast 🙂
These banana oatmeal pancakes are the best I have ever tasted and they do not upset my stomach!
So happy to hear that!
We had it for breakfast today and simply loved it. I don’t like oats very much and made this for my husband but I did enjoyed it this way and can’t wait to try different pancake recipes of your with oats.
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
These were a big hit with everyone. So good. I’ll be making these on a regular basis for sure.
These pancakes are delicious and putting all the ingredients in the blender makes the recipe so easy to make! I used 1% regular milk bc that’s all I had – tasted great!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
This is my go to pancake recipe whenever I have bananas that need to be used. They could not be easier to make. Love that they are naturally sweetened and they are so light and fluffy!
So happy to hear that!
I made with buttermilk and doubled the amount. (Because I was out of almond milk) It was fantastic.
Perfect! Love it 🙂
The banana pancakes are the BEST pancakes we’ve tried! They are really delicious!!! Thank you!!!!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Ok, so I just made these and they were great. I don’t have a vegan or strictly gluten-free diet. I was just looking for a recipe that primarily used oatmeal and no flour since that’s all I had in the house. And since I had almond milk I wanted to use up, this fit the bill perfectly. Bonus was that I had 2 very ripe frozen bananas (for smoothies) which made these pancakes extra sweet and moist. The one modification I made (for s&g’s) was that instead of using the full 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal, I used 1 cup oatmeal and 1/2 cup Trader Joe’s pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix that I happened to have, which does have flour in it. (Wasn’t in the mood for chips, so I picked them out). It all blended up to make a smooth batter that poured out nicely from my blender to make smooth round even pancakes. The only catch was that they were so moist and liquid-ey (but not thin or runny) that they were hard to flip and took nearly 10 minutes to cook at medium low heat which I used so they wouldn’t turn black while cooking on the inside. The result was a sweet, flavorful, surprisingly light (for all that oatmeal) and extremely moist (!) pancake!
So glad you enjoyed! The different dry ingredients likely changed the texture a bit, but I’m glad they worked out well 🙂
My new favourite pancake recipe. Subbed coconut milk for almond milk and it worked very well :)!
Perfect! Such a great breakfast 🙂
OMG these were amazing! So fluffy, so delicious, with a hint of banana. I’m so happy I found this recipe! Thank you!
I’m so glad you did, too! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These were delicious and easy to make. I had a little trouble getting them to flip and stay together but that didn’t stop us from enjoying them.
Glad you enjoyed! I’d suggest cooking them on medium-low heat the help them cook evenly and be easy to flip 🙂
These are the easiest pancakes to make & healthy & delicious . I’ve made them so many times & a great hit with all the family even my 9month grandchild
Amazing! Glad they’re a hit!
Thank you very much for the recipe! I just made those pancakes, they were easy to make and super delicious!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
Ahhh these are amazing! Thank you SO much for this healthy, delicious, EASY pancake recipe!
You bet!!
I wanted to say that I love this recipe! I’ve been making this twice a month for a year now, I often add a little more oats to make the batter a bit thicker. I love having these lighter delicious pancakes, and so does my partner. Thank you!
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
Amazing!’
Glad you liked them!
The very best banana pancake recipe I have ever tried. They come out perfect every. damn. time. I opted to use up some leftover oat flour and just mixed with mashed banana in a bowl, because a dirty blender sounded like too much this morning. Still perfect. Thank you for this delightful recipe Monique <3
So happy to hear that!
These pancakes have become a weekend tradition for my family, and I feel good about serving them to my 11 month old son because they have no added sugar. I always make mini versions (about 2in diameter), and we have enough for breakfast the next day. Thank you for the amazing recipe!!
Love it! So glad these are a hit 🙂
About how many grams is one pancake? I am trying to count my macros.
I don’t typically weigh my ingredients or recipes – sorry!
SO good!! Highly recommend.
Glad you love them!
These were very delicious! I added a few chocolate chips to mine and yuuum. So good!
Love that! Perfect breakfast 🙂
I made these this morning and they were enjoyed by all, I stuck nearly exactly except I out in a bit extra cinnamon (1/4 tspn extra) and will definitely make again, So light and fluffy
Perfect breakfast! Glad they were a hit 🙂
Perfect mix of ingredients, compared to similar recipes. We like our pancake batter as smooth as possible, so we blend the oats first into almost a flour texture. Then add wet ingredients, with bananas last, if they are frozen and thawed. Delicious. Thank you.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
These pancakes are so freaking good,
So glad you love them!
Best banana oat pancakes I have tried!!! In my opinion, they look and taste like regular pancakes minus the guilt. 😉
So happy to hear that!
These are THE BEST!!! I make healthy pancakes for my fam most weekends and I’m always trying out different recipes. This might be my favorite. They are fluffy, hearty and perfectly sweet even without maple syrup.
We made some with blueberries and those were delightful. Definitely make this recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Pleasantly surprised. Very Good recipe! Will make more for sure. Even satisfied my picky eater!
Thanks for the recipe!
Amazing! Happy to hear that 🙂
Amazing Sunday morning treat!
The best!
This is a winner I’ve tried 6 different banana pancake recipes and have been disappointed. These delivered !! Dump it all in the blender (I used a Ninja) and boom perfect batter, fluffy pancakes. I used the recipe exactly as written.
So easy and delicious! Glad you love them!
The recipe is so good! Tastes like a banana muffin and are really fluffy! The downside of them is they don’t seem to bubble when you cook them, so it’s hard to know when to flip. But otherwise they are delicious!
So glad you love them! Feel free to give them a quick peek with a spatula 🙂
So delicious! I love the original version of this recipe but I also love the taste when you substitute the eggs for a 1/4 cup of applesauce. So so good! Both ways are amazing, thank you for sharing!
I’m glad that works out well! Perfect breakfast!
My husband and I made these pancakes yesterday and we gobbled them up. I have blood sugar issues and standard pancake recipes send my numbers up. This recipe is delicious, easy and no high numbers.
This is going to be in my favorite folder.
I want to thank you for creating this beautiful pancake recipe
Amazing! So happy to hear that!
Doing a modified version Whole30 this month (that includes oats/whole grains) and these were perfect!! Will definitely be making them again 🙂
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
Can you freeze these once they’re cooked? Any thoughts on how to defrost them? I have bananas ready to be used
These freezed super well for me! I cooked them from frozen and it kind of dried them out, so next time I will let them thaw in the fridge over night and then reheat them in the microwave instead of on the stovetop
Yes! Check out the full blog post for all of my tips 🙂
I was wondering if anyone has used oat flour instead of oats? I would like to use baby cereal to add extra nutrients for my son, but I don’t want to mess with the recipe.
We tried blending blueberries in, and it ended up completely ruining them, but they were perfect when we just added the blueberries whole.
Great question, I would suggest 1 cup oats and then 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup baby oatmeal cereal to start and see how they end up!
Just made these for lunch and they were great!
Love it!!
AMAZINNNNNNG!!!! My new favorite pancakes ever!! My whole family loves them. For some protein, I substitute the vanilla for vanilla protein powder 🙂
Love it! So happy to hear that 🙂
These are delicious and fluffy! I added mini semi sweet chocolate chips, and they’re a dream! I started on medium low, but using a cast-iron, so I recommend keeping your pan temperature low, as these cook really quickly!
Perfect! And yes, great tip. Glad you loved them!
I loved it. Only the batter became a little thick I guess. Because of the kind of oats that I used in
Glad you still loved them!
Tried another recipe for healthy pancakes and it was terrible and then come across this one, they turned out so good! They was so fluffy, and tasted like regular pancakes. Definitely recommend making these. I added some dark chocolate chips to some and some blueberries to others. Felt indulgent but without all the calories and sugar!
So glad you found these ones! Perfect breakfast 🙂
This recipe really hit the spot this morning. These banana pancakes are out of this world delicious, and I appreciate that they have no added sugar. The ripe banana makes them plenty sweet! I like to drizzle almond butter on these babies along with maple syrup of course. Try these out – you won’t be sorry!
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed!
I make these so often bc they are sooooo goood. I add pecans when they’re cooking and sometimes add collagen in the blender. Making them now actually ahhaha.
Perfect! Love it 🙂
I absolutely loved these! My new favorite pancake recipe. Thanks for another great healthy breakfast option!
So happy to hear that!
Love the recipe but stop with the YASSS. That’s highly annoying. The texture and flavor is amazing!!
Glad you loved the recipe!
These were absolutely fantastic!!! I always try to do healthier pancakes and I thought these were better than the recipes I’ve tried with whole wheat flour. Didn’t even need to use too much maple syrup because they were already sweet from the banana. I added some blueberries while I was cooking them – delicious!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Absolutely loved these! Don’t think I’ll go back to making normal pancakes again.
I blended the oats first (used instant quaker oats) into an almost flour consistency before adding the rest to blend. I also separated the egg whites and electric whisked them before mixing them all together with a spoon to get that extra fluff!
The pancakes came out delicious!!! it was filling but also so healthy.
Goes great with berries, natural peanut butter, maple syrup!
I dont think the recipe serves 3 though, I think it’s perfect for TWO!
Thanks, ambitious kitchen, for never failing to impress!
Perfect! So glad you loved them!
WOW! I have tried dozens of banana oat pancake recipes, and every single one of them has failed. Yours hit it out of the park! They were unbelievably good, and tasted just like banana bread. The texture was perfect for my liking. I cut the recipe to make one serving, and I wish I would have made the whole batch, because I could have eaten so many more! Thank you!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Delicious!
Glad you enjoyed!
YUMMMMMM!!
Just made these and they were the best! Your site kept popping up on my feed and the recipes are eyecatching- this one made me happy bc no sugar or flour. I added a sprinkle of walnuts and chocolate chips to half for a chunky monkey version – deeelish!! Will definitely be making again 🙂 ty
Amazing! I’m so glad 🙂 Perfect breakfast!
These pancakes are the best!!! I have tried many banana oat pancake recipes, and this one is by far the best. I have the recipe for a single serving. They don’t have that barky/earthy taste that a lot of healthy pancakes have, which I appreciate. I find that the pancakes flip the best when I use butter on the stove. Also, I like to make the blueberry compote featured in the Ambitious Kitchen coconut flour pancake recipe to put on top. Highly recommend!
Amazing! So glad you loved them!
Sooooo good. I’m gonna add some sugar next time but these were amazing.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
One of my favorite breakfasts! Have been making this almost every weekend with some chocolate chips & it’s perfect! Being gluten free I missed pancakes but this is a great recipe that doesn’t leave me feeling bad after for eating it
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
These pancakes are terrible. Way too much baking powder, I don’t understand how it reached 5 stars.
Sorry to hear that you didn’t like them! I’ve tested them multiple times with success, as have tons of readers, and haven’t found that they have too much baking powder.
One of the most delicious and healthy pancakes I have ever tried. Love how the oats give it a slight crunchy texture. I added a tablespoon of peanut butter which gave it a really nice nutty taste and served it with homemade strawberry jam. Everyone absolutely loved it. Great recipe.
Love it! Glad you enjoyed!
These pancakes are delicious and very satisfying, and also gluten free. I change out the bananas for blueberries (added after it’s mixed) and vanilla for the cinnamon.
So glad you liked them! Love blueberries 🙂
Thank you for this amazing healthy recipe. I followed it to the T, except adding a little more of the almond milk. The pancakes were fluffy and yummy 👍
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
These are so easy to make and super yummy! I made them for my baby, but my husband and I love them too!!
Love it! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These are simple and delicious I feel good about feeding these to my 10 month old she loves them with a little peanut butter! Thank you
Absolutely! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These are so easy to make and perfect for my 10 month old to eat for breakfast as well as they are naturally sweetened. Family favorite!!
Absolutely! Such a great breakfast.
Delicious! Quick and easy. I used one banana and 1/4 c apple sauce. YUM! Thank you.
I’m glad that worked out well! Perfect breakfast.
These are amazingly delicious pancakes and are very easy to make! I have made them about ten times and everyone, husband, family and friends, has really enjoyed them. I was looking for a wheat-free recipe and really liked the ingredients (and fiber) in this one. Now I need to see if I can make it vegan for the rest of my family when they visit.
Love it! So happy to hear that 🙂
The pancakes turned out great! Nice and fluffy just the way I like them. I halved the recipe since I was only making them for myself and that turned out perfect too 🙂
Perfect! So happy to hear that 🙂
Rave reviews this morning — “best banana pancakes” from our first bites. Easy to make, flavorful and lighter than flour-based recipes. Great recipe!
Amazing! So happy to hear that 🙂
Super yum recipe would totally recommend.
Glad you enjoyed!
I loved these pancakes! Easy to make and so light and delicious! How would you modify the recipe to make waffles instead?
So glad you loved them! I haven’t made these as waffles so I can’t be certain. Perhaps I’d let the batter sit for 10 minutes before using in the waffle iron!
The kids gobbled them up! It’s snowing today so sprinkled with powdered sugar for “snow” pancakes and didn’t even need syrup! Thanks!
Aw love that idea! Perfect winter breakfast 🙂
This recipe was tasted great, the only problem was that the pancakes would fall apart as I was flipping them. Thus, I added 2 tablespoons of flour to thicken the mixture. I also used a waffle maker instead of a pan and it worked great. I recommend this recipe but I would suggest making it thicker and using a waffle griddle.
I’m glad that worked out well! Next time it also might help to let the batter sit and thicken up a bit more, too 🙂
These are the absolute best! Easy to make and so so delicious! Do they freeze well Monique? Is it better to freeze the batter or the pancakes?
So glad you love them! And yes, check the full blog post for instructions on freezing the pancakes themselves 🙂
Love love love making these pancakes on Saturday morning! I make a half batch in my mini blender and it makes like ~6-8 small/medium pancakes that are soo yummy even warmed up the next day.
Love that! Such a great brunch 🙂
I love to make big batch of these on a Sunday and enjoy them for breakfast through the week with a bit of almond butter on them. Loaded with lots of blueberries!
Great idea! And love the almond butter + blueberries.
We love these! Have been making them for a few year- always our go to pancake! Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Such a great breakfast 🙂
Made these this morning for our six month old (left out the salt) but I don’t know who liked them more him or us. They were so easy to make and we all enjoyed them even more than “regular” pancakes. They were good reheated for baby’s dinner that night too. Definitely will make again. Thank you!
Perfect! Such a great breakfast (or dinner!)
These are so fast and easy- as well as delicious! A great treat- thank you!!
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
Wow!!! So delicious!!this is now my favorite pancake recipe.
I’m so glad!!
I followed the recipe and these were awful! They stuck to even the wolf range griddle and I had to switch to nonstick pan. They would not cook through and were impossible to flip even after cooking longer than normal on one side. So it took forever to cook these. I used TJoes rolled oats. I had to finish baking them in the oven to make sure the middle would not be gooey. I used whole milk which recipe had as option. I experiment with pancakes, healthy versions constantly; luckily I have never experienced this before. Typically I grind my whole oats first before replacing flour in recipes but did not do so since this recipe didn’t mention it.
Look delicious but wanting to sub oat flour for the oats! What ratio do you recommend?
I’d suggest 1 heaping cup of oat flour. You may need to add a few tablespoons extra.
Would that be pure vanilla extract? I plan to make them for pancake day.
Yes!
So I’ve made them twice and they are delicious and our whole family loves them…but do the bananas give them a slightly “wet” texture? I’m practically burning them and they’re still very moist and it’s hard to tell if they’re cooked. Even after putting them in the microwave they’re still a little wet but not runny. I inserted a toothpick and it came out clean but still wet.
I’m not sure what could be happening. I’m guessing that either your bananas are too large or too wet. If you keep have this happening, you can add a few extra tablespoons of oats, or simply allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes before making the pancakes, that way the oats will absorb most of the liquid.
I absolutely love this recipe! I like that they’re healthier pancakes made from whole oats, no added sugar or oil to the batter. Very good!!
absolutely! Perfect breakfast 🙂
Amazing recipe! So simple and my daughter loves them!
I’m so glad!!
This is one of boyfriend and I’s go to recipe! We love it. Thanks Monique!
So happy to hear that! Perfect breakfast 🙂
Our family go to pancake recipe. Even one of my children who does not like bananas loves these pancakes! We sometimes add chocolate chips. So yummy
Love adding chocolate chips 🙂 glad these are a hit!
I’ll try anything Monique tells me to try, because every single one of her recipes consistently hits it out of the park. These pancakes are no exception. They’re so easy to throw together and super customizable to how sweet you like them, whatever add-ins you like. Blueberries are a great mix in. I love that I can make pancakes without having to mix up the batter and measuring out flour — no messy cleanup! These pancakes are seriously good, I’ve made them dozens of times.
Amazing! So glad you’re finding recipes here that you love!
Always a hit! Yummy and so simple to make
Glad you love them!
If you’re anything like me you usually have a few bananas on your counter that have gotten over ripe and you’re trying to figure out what to do with them because you hate throwing food away. Well look no more, you NEED to make these pancakes. I usually top them with some chopped walnuts and maple syrup. Soooooo good. Perfect for a weekend breakfast! Also super easy to make as you just toss everything in a blender!
Absolutely! Best way to use up ripe bananas 🙂
I love how easy these are whip up in the morning. My one year old & I love having these for breakfast. I don’t think I’ll buy boxed mix again!
Love that! Perfect way to wake up 🙂
This is hands down the best healthy simple pancake recipe you’ll find out there. Made right in the blender with simple ingredients you’ll more than likely already have in your pantry. I am seriously in love with these insanely fluffy pancakes (as is my husband) and it’s tradition now for us to make and eat these every weekend. 100% recommended!
So happy to hear that! The best weekend brunch.
These are so good! I make them at least once a week. Not too thin and really filling.
So glad you love them!
These are my go-to pancakes! They are made with ingredients I always have on hand and always turn out great!
Amazing! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These are a Sunday morning tradition here! We love these pancakes, they’re so simple to whip up and so so fluffy and tasty. I’ve had trouble with dairy free pancakes in the past being fluffy enough but these are perfect!
Best recipe ever – my husband and I swear by this and have started a Saturday morning pancake tradition. So so easy to make that even the hubby feels like professional chef using the recipe. Comes out fluffy and delicious every time, and we change up the mix ins each week (choco chips, blueberries, coconut flakes, strawberries, etc). Would say serving size is more for two people!
5 stars (it won’t let me leave 5?!)! Easy, quick, delicious
My favorite healthy breakfast for when I am craving pancakes! I cut the recipe in half and it is perfect for just me.
My favorite!!!!
This is my favorite pancake recipe ever. I love that it is healthy and so easy to make! I feed it to myself and to my one-year-old son for breakfast at least once a week and I consider it a parenting win to have him eat some thing so delicious and healthy. We both are obsessed.
These are so good!!! can’t believe they don’t have refined flour and sugar! Made these for my picky older kids and my 7 month old and they all gobbled them up! Starting my baby on solids and these were great because they’re soft, easy to hold and of course nutritious. Older kids liked chocolate chips mixed in and added frozen blueberries to my baby’s pancakes. I make these and AK’s fluffy yogurt pancakes a couple times a week!
These pancakes were absolutely delicious! I halved the recipe to make some just for myself and it turned out delicious! I used coconut oil in the pan to cook them and came out with 4 pancakes. I gave mum a taste and she thought they were amazing too. Left the whole house smelling amazing as well. 100% recommend doing this!
These pancakes are amazing! Texture is perfect, so flavorful and fluffy! Easy to whip up on a lazy morning 🙂 thank you Monique!
So delicious, so easy! We had some coconut milk we made stored in the freezer and so we used that instead of the almond milk. They were so good we didn’t even need syrup. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
Love love love this recipe! I tried to follow a different one yesterday and failed miserably, and ended up with saggy oat bananas creation lol
But this one is perfect, i freezer a good batch for later too.
These are THE BEST PANCAKES I’VE EVER MADE, and the EASIEST?!? I’m sort of stunned right now – the texture was perfect, they came together in minutes, and the taste was divine. I did add a small handful of chocolate chips. A perfect Valentine’s Day breakfast. My husband loved them as well!
Let me preface this with your website has been an amazing help to making me and my boyfriend lots of healthy and guilt free meals and treats. I also love all the helpful tips you write, I read them all and find them relevant and enjoyable reads. However I did struggle with this recipe. My blender wouldn’t blend the ingredients (I don’t have a vitamix) then the pancakes burnt on the outside and didn’t cook in the middle. Help! Is there something I could do differently? The burner was on low- medium.. it took me 30 minutes to cook all 9 pancakes, yet they still burnt and wouldn’t cook all the way through.. I will also mention that all your recipes take me 2-3 times longer to make than the predicted time. A 20 minutes recipe takes me 40-60 minutes to make… any advice on this? Will this get better with time? I’m not a total newbie with cooking, been cooking for a decade but I have lots of room to improve. Appreciate you and this beautiful service you do to helping us all eat a little better. Sarah
So glad you’re loving the recipes here! For this one you definitely need to make sure that the batter is well blended before making these, so just be sure to blend on high for at least 1 min! It also sounds like you might have had the pancakes over too high of heat even though you mentioned medium-low heat.
Easy, Fluffy and Yummy! Loved these. Such an easy way to sneak in fruit for my toddler too! Will make again for sure!
Absolutely! Perfect breakfast 🙂
really delicious. very healthy and keeps me full for so much longer. and i feel happier when i’m eating something healthy and nutritious.
definitely will make at least twice a week. Such a yummy and healthy alternative!!!!
Absolutely! Perfect breakfast 🙂
I loved these when I first made them and I’m definitely going to make them again! I used coconut oil to them in though and they seemed to burn quickly in that so I might try something different next time.
But I’m wondering, would an egg substitute like the vegan plant based JUST egg work the same?
So glad you enjoyed! I haven’t tested these with an egg substitute so I’m not 100% sure. Let me know if you give it a try!
This is the best oatmeal pancake recipe I tried so far! My husband couldn’t even tell it was made without flour. Tasty, healthy, and very easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe!
So happy to hear that!!
Great, easy and fluffy pancakes. Kids loved them.
So happy to hear that!
Really delicious and so easy to make. Perfect with a spoonful of yoghurt and fresh blueberries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Thank you for the great recipe.
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed 🙂
I am 10 days postpartum and made these for my husband and I as another way to get more oats in for my milk supply and HOT DAMN they are delicious! And easy. As in, again, I am 10 days postpartum and made them with a baby in one hand. We sprinkled butterscotch chips on ours for a little added sweetness and they were so delicious. We will
Absolutely be making them again!
Amazing! So glad you both enjoyed 🙂
My toddler loves these! I fix a batch every weekend and we freeze them and use during the week for a quick breakfast, snack or even dinner sometimes.
So happy to hear that!
I’m allergic to bananas, what could I subsitute them with?
Try my apple pancakes, pumpkin pancakes or carrot cake pancakes instead 🙂
These are delicious and perfect to freeze and reheat in the toaster oven for a quick breakfast
Absolutely! Glad you liked them!
These couldn’t be any easier! I had two super ripe bananas but wasn’t in the mood for banana bread so I landed on this recipe. I made two changes; I used 2% milk instead of almond because that’s what we had and I added some chopped walnuts to the batter after blending for a little crunch. I ended up getting 12 because I used an ice cream scooper to portion out the batter. Yum! Thanks Monique!
Perfect! Glad you loved them!
These are the most delicious pancakes! I never make regular ones anymore, and I leftover bananas don’t go to waste. My preschool ages kids love it too!
Love it! Perfect breakfast 🙂
Great recipe! Myself and my kids loved it and they are the “typical pancake” loving kids. No changes made by me… perfect recipe as written.
So happy to hear that! Such a great breakfast for kiddos.
I have been seeing banana pancake recipes for so long….never saved them. So today, I searched on google and found this one! More ingredients than a lot of the others I saw, but it looked simple enough and I had everything the recipe called for!! My diabetic husband wanted pancakes, so I delivered! These were FANTASTIC!! The only thing is that I probably should have mixed it longer, you could chew some of the oatmeal flakes while eating the pancakes. I wonder if it would be ok to make the oatmeal a flour type substance before making the recipes and adding it that way? I will look for more comments to see if anyone tried that, but, we love these!!!
So glad you enjoyed! Yes, I think oat flour will work but you may just have to reduce the amount a bit.
So delicious! Super easy to make and love how fluffy they turned out. This will definitely be my new go-to pancake recipe to make.
Absolutely! Glad you loved them!
Good recipe as written, no modifications needed and very easy cleanup by throwing everything in the blender. Also, I didn’t measure, which contributed to the easy cleanup lol.
Absolutely! Glad they worked out well 🙂
My husband has literally been talking about these for 4 days after I made them for a very easy dinner. Will try with applesauce next!
Amazing! Love breakfast for dinner 🙂
These pancakes are so easy to make, delicious, and full of nutritious ingredients. These are on a weekly rotation in my house and my kids eat them all up! Another great recipe from Ambitious Kitchen!
The perfect breakfast! So glad they’re a hit 🙂
These are so easy to make and taste awesome. I love making them for my toddler.
So happy to hear that!
I really love this recipe. They are fluffy and my kiddo loved them. I subbed nonfat plain greek yogurt with a little water in place of the almond milk. I also added a few TB of flaxseed meal for extra protein. I used a little extra baking powder because we love our pancakes very fluffy. My son eats these with just a little butter and I used real maple syrup, but they actually are yummy plain. SO QUICK! YAY!!!
Perfect! Glad everyone enjoyed!
Made this today for National Pancake Day….SOOOOO GOOD!!!!
Love it! Best pancakes!!
Great recipe! Easy to make and impressed even my little sister only only likes box pancakes, added chocolate chips and walnuts
Love it! Perfect breakfast.
This is The best healthy pancake recipe I have ever made! I’ve tried others but this is by far the best! They really do have a pancake consistency, they are even fluffy! I have been making these for my now toddler for a year and a half now and always recommend this recipe to other mamas! I like to add spinach to have a little hidden veggies in there, they turn out green but still come out fluffy and you can’t taste the spinach! This recipe is a must and super easy to make! I’ve also added dark chocolate chips and other times blueberries, love! Anything goes! Thanks for the amazing recipes Monique! I love your page and content!!
Amazing! Great idea with the sneaky veggies 🙂 so glad you loved these!
Really easy and so delicious!!
So glad you liked them!
This recipe is my favourite pancake recipe of all time. So sweet I don’t even need maple syrup. Of course I still put it on, what do I look like, a monster? My only concern is I think the 10 minute cook time is not very accurate. I followed this recipe to a t except I used oat milk instead of almond and inuses coconut oil instead of olive. Maybe that had to do with it. Anyways they are so dense, it takes AGES for them to cook thoroughly. I texted my roommate offering to make her pancakes and then I was like “whoops, batter is on the counter, help yourself I’m laaate!” And she also ran late making hers haha. Other than that *chefs kiss*
So glad you love them! And so strange – did you by chance have them on a super low heat?
My 12 year old is obsessed with Ambitiou Kitchn and loves all the recipes. I made these pancakes yesterday for her snack after school, before swim practice and they were awesome! So easy to whip up, and they are the perfect healthy snack for the afternoon, although we could easily eat them for breakfast too.
Amazing! I’m so glad!
These were very good but I found them a little difficult to flip. They are a lot softer than a traditional pancake. Definitely will make again.
They are a bit more fragile because they’re just made with oats, but I’m glad you enjoyed!
Unbelievable! Absolutely loved this recipe — my loved it even more 🙂 I don’t have a blender so I used the large cup on my Ninja, followed the instructions and whipped up these amazing healthy pancakes. This will be my go-to recipe and can’t wait to share it with my grandchildren.
I’m so glad! Perfect breakfast to share 🙂
My husband hates banana and he couldn’t stand the smell of these. I absolutely loved them and so did my kids, but I was wondering what you would recommend as a banana supplement or maybe a different type of fruit?
I’m sorry I know the whole point of these is the banana but I want my husband to also eat healthy with us and I haven’t been able to think of anything. All and all, these were my FAVORITE
Glad they were a hit with you and the kiddos! Try my carrot cake pancakes or my apple pancakes for him 🙂
Great recipe and easy! Really like using the blender for pancakes. I did a batch with blueberries and one with chocolate chips. Delicious.
Easy and delicious! Glad you loved them!
Love, love, love these pancakes that do NOT taste healthy! They are absolutely scrumptious!!! Tried the recipe this morning for our family brunch and was totally surprised at the taste. My 2 grandkids (4 & 8) gobbled them up with me. LOL!
Aren’t they amazing?? So glad they were a hit!
Great recipe! I didn’t have baking powder so substituted that with 2 teaspoons baking soda and 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar. Turned out amazing, The pancakes were so fluffy and light. Added some maple syrup and sliced fruit, healthy and delicious. This is our go to pancake recipe!
Perfect! So glad that worked out!
The whole family is a fan of this recipe! We easily make these 2/week! We add Lilys chocolate to make them banana chocolate chip too!
So happy to hear that! Love the addition of chocolate chips 🙂
I make these pancakes at least once a week! These are a big hit in my family especially with my toddler. So yummy and I love how they are made with healthy ingredients!
So happy to hear that! One of our fav breakfasts, too.
I made the banana oatmeal pancakes more than once in the last two weeks. I love pancakes and never thought I’d find a healthy recipe that tastes so delicious. I’m glad I fell upon this site. Thank you for creating these healthy pancakes!
Amazing! So glad you loved them 🙂
Great recipe, we make enough for 3-4 days and reheat on the frying pan or in the toaster! We are planning to use this recipe when we start baby led weaning!
Love it! Perfect breakfast 🙂
These are my family’s all time favorite pancake! They’re so packed with flavor and I love the hearty consistency. They’re like muffin pancakes. 🙂 I make them ALL the time. ♥️
I’m so glad!!
I don’t typically review recipes. I am taking the time because I make these all the time and love them.
I use my Vitamix, When needed I top off almond milk once blended so that I have 3 cups of batter in blender. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop batter onto griddle and make 12 pancakes. I freeze extras on a cookie tray then put in a ziplock bag for a quick breakfast during the week. A minute or more in the microwave and they are ready eat.
Amazing! So glad you love them!
I love these as a healthy weekday breakfast! They also keep and freeze well and all kinds of milk work.
The best! Glad you love them!
I halved the recipe for one person and just did 1/2 cup of oats and added a tbsp of chia seeds. They were amazing and much better than any other healthy pancake I have tried. They did take longer to cook then I anticipated and you should make sure to cook them for longer than you think.
(I used homemade cashew milk)
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed! And yes, great tip to watch the cooking time.
So yummy! Texture was perfect – I did blend the oats separately to ensure they were fine, but then combined together. I also halved and it was perfect! Can’t wait to make this again and again! ❤️
Could I use oat milk instead of almond milk?
Yep!
Hello – will oat milk instead of almond milk work?
Yes!
I made this recipe exactly as is except I only had organic skim milk so I used that and it was superb. The pancakes came out golden brown and were moist and delicious. I couldn’t believe how easy it was just putting everything in the blender! Hardly any cleanup which is always a bonus.
This recipe is spot on and you without a doubt have accomplished your mission of becoming “Queen of Healthy Pancakes”!
Perfect! So glad you loved them (and thank you!!)
These are the perfect pancakes! Sweet without sugar, caramelly, nutritionally dense, light, fluffy and totally delicious. I’m breastfeeding two kids and I need healthy carb meals like this to keep me going, but my toddler also loved them and my husband also loved them. An all rounder for our family!
Absolutely! So glad you found this one!
These are so so good! I top them with walnuts and maple syrup and they are by far my favorite pancake recipe to make!
Love it! Perfect breakfast 🙂
Hello! these pancakes are delicious. 10\10 the recipe is simple and easy to follow. i could not find cinnamon so i used less of cinnamon sugar
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed!
