How We Created the Recipe

We have been making these pancakes multiple times a week for several weeks (eating a lot of pancakes 🤪), working to perfect this recipe and make them the right consistency. We found when we were experimenting with other recipes that had fewer ingredients, the consistency and flavor just weren’t there.

Now, we finally have now cracked the code and are sharing, what we feel are the best healthy oatmeal pancakes on the internet.

These pancakes are thick and filling and full of flavor!! What is even better about them, are the ingredients that are packed into each one! Don’t get us wrong, we love pancakes in almost any shape or form – box, homemade, frozen. BUT with this recipe, we wanting to make the best healthy banana oatmeal pancakes that had flavor and would fill our stomachs until lunch time. This recipe does just that and it is because of the whole ingredients we included in our recipe!!

What’s In the Oatmeal Banana Pancakes?

Bananas: These add the sweet banana flavor to the pancakes. It’s better if your bananas are more ripe and have some brown spots on them before making the pancakes. This will give the pancakes a better flavor.

Gluten-free Rolled Oats: We use gluten-free oats in most of our recipes. Once the rolled oats are blended, it creates an oat flour base for the pancakes, which is rich and delicious in flavor.

Almond Milk: We only drink and use alternative milk on a daily basis. Almond milk works just as well, but if you prefer to use another type of alternative milk, you totally can!

Ground Flax Seed: Flax seed helps with your digestion, which makes it great to eat these pancakes in the morning for better digestion throughout the day. The ground flax seed also thickens the consistency of the pancakes and makes them nice and fluffy!

Blend All the Ingredients Together

What makes this recipe super simple and easy is the fact that all you have to do is blend the ingredients together.

Add all the ingredients to a high powered blender (we use this Nutribullet) and you’re ready to pour the batter on the skillet. We love making these when we don’t have a lot of time in the morning, because they only take 15 minutes to make. It’s a super simple breakfast and will keep you full until lunch time!

We have been loving to pair these pancakes with an iced coconut coffee recipe. The coconut coffee complements the banana flavor in the pancakes perfectly. Honestly, they’re both such a treat!
