Easy Banana Oat Pancakes
Whether you need to be gluten free or not, Banana Oat Pancakes make an easy, healthy, gluten free breakfast.
These pancakes are light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. They come together in the blender and are easy enough for weekday breakfasts.
These Healthy Banana Pancakes are delicious topped with a bit of pure maple syrup or simply fresh sliced fruit. I enjoyed them the last time I made them with blackberries and sliced bananas–heavenly!
Banana Oatmeal Pancake Ingredients
Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are made with pantry staples.
YES!!! Gluten-free pancakes that don’t require crazy flours or stabilizers is possible!
- Eggs
- Gluten Free Oats–quick cooking or regular old fashioned oats both work
- Milk–dairy or non-dairy
- Vanilla Extract
- Cinnamon
- Baking Powder
- Maple Syrup
- Bananas–The riper the bananas, the sweeter these oat pancakes will be naturally.
How to Make Banana Oat Pancakes
Step One: Blend Pancake Batter
- In a blender, add eggs, milk, and vanilla. I like to add in the liquid ingredients first, as this makes it easier for the blender to fully blend the pancake batter.
- Next add cinnamon, baking powder and oats to the blender.
- Finally, add 2 ripe bananas, cut into chunks, into the blender.
- Blend on full speed until the batter is fully incorporated and and smooth.
**Banana Oat Pancake Batter should be thinner than traditional pancakes, but should not be runny. If you find the batter too thick, add in 1 teaspoon of milk at a time and blend; repeat until desired consistency is reached. If you find the batter too thin, add in 1 tablespoon oats and blend well; repeat until desired consistency is reached.
Step Two: Cook Pancakes
- Preheat a griddle or frying pan to medium heat.
- Grease the griddle with coconut oil, butter, or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour pancake batter onto the heated pan.
- Cook until small bubbles form, about 4 minutes.
- Flip pancakes, and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes per side.
Step Three: Serve Pancakes
These banana pancakes are perfectly sweet served alone, but also delicious with maple syrup or a smear of nut butter.

My 1 year old and I LOVE these, so easy and delicious. I also add about 1/2 cup frozen spinach to the blender, but some grated carrot would probably be really good too. Great recipe!
I really love that you added spinach Ali! What a great way to boost the nutrients. So glad you enjoyed this recipe too!
I love these but my batter is turning out too thin. I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not using cows milk & using oat?
It could be a factor Neha. I would add in 1 tablespoon additional oats at a time until the thickness you desire is reached.
I cant wait to try this recipe. Only question i have is the calorie count. Is that 134 each pancake?
Tanisha, I hope you enjoy these pancakes! As far as nutrition, it is for 1/4 of total recipe–and this recipe makes between 8-12 pancakes depending on how large you make them 🙂 I typically get 10.
I made these this morning and loved them (as well as my son and husband). Easy, healthy and delicious. I was confused at first though, because it doesn’t say to add the bananas in the instructions – has anyone else noticed this?
Hi Kylie! First of all, I am so glad you and your family loved these pancakes. Secondly, I am sorry the step for adding bananas was not clear. My original recipe stated “add all ingredients to the blender and blend.” I updated it yesterday to give clearer instructions on the order to add the ingredients (liquids first for easier blending) but clearly left out bananas🤦♀️ So glad you caught this right away so others were not confused. All is fixed now 🙂
Is there a possible substitute for eggs? Really looking forward to making these.
Hi! I have not made this recipe before without eggs. However, I would suggest using 2 flax eggs and then if the batter needs thinned out more, add in up to 1/4 cup applesauce. And let me know how it goes–such a great thing for others to know too 🙂
Hi, back with an Update: I didn’t happen to have applesauce or flax seeds on hand so I used Silk plain yogurt as a substitute and they turned out just as good. Definitely using this recipe again! 🙂
That is a great alternative as well! Thank you for taking the time to update!
I liked them a lot but my 8 year old didn’t like the texture. Easy to make and healthy.
Hi Meridith! I am glad you enjoyed. If your child is used to fluffy pancakes, these are definitely thinner. Maybe after a few more times, he/she will adjust to the texture. My son has major texture issues and sometimes he adjusts to things, sometimes he just can’t do it. 😉
What you say oatmeal in the ingredients list, do you mean cooked oats or dry oats, or ground up oats? I haven’t made banana pancakes before but I’m excited to try these. (I’m sure my toddler will love them!)
Hi Rebecca, quick oats or old fashioned dry oats work for this recipe–the blender will blend them up for you! 🙂 I hope you and your toddler enjoy!
Really good even though I forgot the peanut butter!
I am so glad you enjoyed. I love these with and without peanut butter.
Made them this morning, added chocolate chips, my twins loved them, literally saw them lick their plates. Thank you
Oh that makes me so happy Natasha, thank you for sharing.
Do you know how you could convert this into a waffle recipe? The pancakes are amazing though! Thank you!
Hi Emily! I need to play around with making these into waffles. You would need a bit more oats and possibly some extra oil.
This is one of the easiest pancake recipe + healthy + kid-approved! How much more better can it get? Topped it with some bread berries and honey, were good to go on any day! And my kids say their days are a lot better when it’s started with a pancake breakfast! 😍
YAY!!! I am so glad your kids were able to start their day with these easy pancakes!!!
My family is due for a big batch of pancakes and these will make everyone happy! So simple when you use a blender and I’m with you…yes, to the peanut butter!
YES YES to the peanut butter for sure Sandra 🙂 I hope you and your family enjoy
We’re not GF but like you I love to have GF recipes in my arsenal and these look fantastic! Such a great pancake recipe!
Thanks Jenn! It is always helpful to have Gfree recipes when needed or to change it up a bit. Enjoy
Love a quick and easy breakfast recipe! These look delicious!
Thanks Natalie 🙂
These look SO good! And easy! Can’t wait to try them!
Thank you Lane and Holly! They are easy and good! I hope you give them a try!
So loving these! I don’t need to cut my gluten either – but I do love oat pancakes – and adding bananas into the mix sounds wonderful!
Shashi–I know you will LOVE these!
What a quick and easy recipe! Perfect for these busy school mornings.. 🙂
Thanks Krystal–I make them almost at least once a week for school!
I’m such a breakfast person and pancakes are my absolute favorite. And I love me some blender pancakes! I usually add peanut butter to mine 🙂
Peanut Butter makes everything better! I am actually getting ready to share my blender chocolate peanut butter cup pancake recipe soon!
These look so fluffy and delicious. Why have I never made pancake batter in the blender? It’s so easy!
So much easier Joanie. Hope you give these a try!
YUM! These sound delicious! I’m always looking for quick and easy pancake recipes – not to mention healthy ones! I love that these are made with oats and bananas.
Thanks Jenna–these fit the bill for sure!
Blender pancakes, what a lovely idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Florian!
Ahh yes! Blender pancakes are my absolute FAVORITE weekend breakfast (well really anytime breakfast). I love how simple they are and yet they’re super moist, fluffy and the banana flavor is amazing! loving your photos too 🙂
This is a go-to method of mine. Sometimes I use coconut instead of oats! I try to explain to my mother-in-law that her having Celiac doesn’t mean she is doomed to eat awful food for the rest of her life!
I hope your mother in law knows how blessed she is to have you! You don’t have to eat awful food or expensive food and can still manage wheat allergies/celiac disease!!
You really couldn’t get any easier than this recipe. Although I don’t need to eat gluten-free, this is a great option when I have house guests who do.
So easy! Great for busy mornings and/or gluten free guests. We are not gluten free either, but these are so delicious and easy, I will take them any morning.
Wow !! I should try this ! Sounds delicious. Thank you for linking at Bloggers Brags . I have pinned to Bloggers Brags Pinterest board. We would love to see you today at the party.
Thanks Sahana! The pancakes are so easy it is unbelievable!
Yum! I’m Going To Make These Tomorrow!
