Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes (Quick & Easy!)

Directions :

Preheat a skillet on low heat.
Mix the bananas, eggs, and oats together in a blender on low speed.
Grease your skillet with cooking spray, oil, or butter. Pour the batter onto your prepared skillet (about 1/6 of the batter for each pancake). The smaller the pancake, the better, as these pancakes don’t hold together quite as well as regular pancakes.
Allow the pancakes to cook through on one side before flipping. If you are using any mix-ins like walnuts or blueberries, you can push them into the uncooked side of the pancakes before flipping. I don’t recommend mixing them with the batter since they are more likely to fall apart.
Flip and cook the other side until done; repeat for the rest of the batter.
Serve with syrup, butter, peanut butter, or your favorite pancake toppings.

how to serve Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

These pancakes are best served warm. You can stack them up and drizzle your favorite syrup, add a dollop of peanut butter, or sprinkle some fresh fruit on top. They are also great with a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. Enjoy them fresh from the skillet for a delightful breakfast!

how to store Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

If you have leftover pancakes, allow them to cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze them by placing parchment paper between layers and storing them in a freezer-safe bag. They will last up to three months in the freezer. Just reheat them in the toaster or microwave when you’re ready to enjoy.

tips to make Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
If you find the batter too thick, add a splash of milk or water to get the desired consistency.
Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips or shredded coconut for variety.

variation

You can easily switch up the flavors by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter. For a protein boost, consider mixing in a scoop of your favorite protein powder. You can also make them gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats.

FAQs

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but the texture may be slightly different. Instant oats will create a thinner batter.
Are these pancakes suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, you can make them vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs or applesauce.
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Just give it a quick stir before cooking.
