Banana oatmeal pancakes are a healthy, satisfying, family-friendly breakfast.  These fluffy pancakes are gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free and absolutely delicious.  An easy-to-make pancake recipe made with real, simple ingredients!

This banana oatmeal pancake recipe is as easy as it gets.  Simply blend all of the ingredients in your blender until you have a nice, thick pancake batter and cook away.  Easy peasy!

There’s no flour, no butter, and no added sugar, so these pancakes are perfect for just about everyone.  Even my kids LOVE them.

Are Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Healthy?

Health means different things to different people.  For me, healthy food is about eating real, whole foods, most of the time.  So Yes! These Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are about as healthy as a pancake gets.

I like to think of these pancakes as a bowl of oatmeal in pancake form.  It’s one of the most delicious ways to your oatmeal; blended with bananas and egg whites.  And if you really want to elevate this breakfast, top your pancakes with a fat schmear of homemade almond butter (store bought works as well!).

Oooh! And if you like peanut butter with your banana, be sure to check out my peanut butter and banana power pancakes as well.

How To Make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

  • Place bananas, oatmeal, egg whites, cinnamon, and baking soda into a blender.
  • Blend until you have a nice thick pancake batter.
  • Stir in your favorite pancake add-ins.  I went with walnuts but chocolate chips or blueberries would be delish.
  • Cook for two minutes on each side or until golden brown and set through.
  • Serve with your favorite pancake toppings.
  • Eat and enjoy!

How To Freeze Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

I love making these pancakes on the weekend when I am doing my meal prep.  I often make a double or triple batch so I can freeze the pancakes for the next few weeks.

Once you’ve cooked your pancakes, let them cool to room temperature.  You want all of the steam to be gone, so you are not left with wet pancakes.

Place pancakes on a rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper and pop in the freezer for one hour.  Transfer to a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to one month.

When you are ready to eat your pancakes, you can either pop them in the microwave for a minute or two *times vary depending on the microwave) or place the in your toaster oven until heated through.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (about 10 ounces)
  • 1 cup egg whites or 2 eggs
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of kosher salt

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Combine banana, egg whites, oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in the blender and blend until you have a nice thick batter.
  • Stir in walnuts or any other add-ins you like. Blueberries, pecans, and chocolate chips are some of my other favorites.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over a medium heat and lightly coat with coconut oil.

  • Serve with your favorite pancake toppings and enjoy!

Notes

**I love adding walnuts to this recipe, but pecans, blueberries, apples, chocolate chips and/or chopped peaches would also be delicious.

    Quick question, in the video you said to replace the egg whites with 2 eggs and in the recipe it says 4. I’m super excited about trying this recipe! Which one should I do?
    Thanks!

      Hi Monica! My apologies, it should be 2 eggs. I’ve adjusted the written recipe.

        I wondered too, but went with my instinct & made a half batch with 2 eggs in case I was wrong. Seriously, the easiest scratch pancake recipe I’ve ever made! They turned out perfectly & we didn’t even use syrup on them, just the tinyest pat of butter. Absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to do it again – full batch next time with maybe 2 whole eggs & a half cup of whites.

    I was just wondering. I input nutrition info into Weight Watchers apps to figure out point. I see that the Fat is 13g and the Saturated Fat is 5g. Is this because of the walnuts (which in your video you say is optional). In your video you say that you can use other add-ins like blueberries. I was wondering if you have fat content without the walnuts, Otherwise three pancakes come to 10 points in WW. I would love to try this recipe otherwise. Thanks.

      Hi Jim! Without the nuts and the coconut oil to grease the pan, these pancakes have 313 calories, 3 grams of fat, 58g carbs, 7g fiber + 18g protein. Hope that hekps a bit.

    Hi Dani,
    I love watching your videos, and appreciate how you keep everything authentic 🙂 With that said, I tried this recipe with the 4 chia eggs and they did not cook well at all – batter seemed too gelatonious, and they would not cook on the inside. Not sure what happened, but perhaps it does not work well with the chia egg substitute?
    In kindness,
    Emily

      Hi Emily! I’m so sorry that the 4 chia eggs did not work out so well. I might experiment with cutting it down to 2 chia eggs + then using a bit of almond milk to thin the batter. I plan to experiment with this a bit more myself, so I will keep you posted as I play.

    Finally! Good, whole ingredients; no special ingredients; not egg tasting, feels like actual pancakes and not rubber. And DELICIOUS!! Even my non banana lovers were eating these things up. I made a triple batch for my crew of six (which includes 4 adults) and we have several leftover for the fridge. Thanks Dani!

    Is it possible to do this with steel cut oats? Or does old fashioned work a lot better? Thanks!

      Steel cut oats may not get soft enough. I recommend sticking to the rolled oats if you can 🙂

        I can’t find rolled oats in Portugal 🙁
        Should I use more of steel cut oats?

          Steel cut oats would not work for these pancakes. They would be too hard.

    I made these pancakes I should’ve waited for the bananas to get a little more brown for them to come out perfect, but they were so delicious! My husband loved them & they were SO easy to make!! They came out round & fluffy & my pancakes NEVER come out that great! In love with this recipe so glad I found it!
