These banana oat pancakes have quickly become a staple in my breakfast ritual. What sets them apart is not just their delicious taste but also their nutritional profile. By incorporating rolled oats, we elevate these pancakes to a whole new level of healthiness. Rolled oats are a wonderful flour alternative that is naturally gluten-free and offers myriad benefits in each bite.

Explore the Benefits of Rolled Oats

Rolled oats aren’t just your average pantry staple; they are packed with rich sources of nutrients —fiber, vitamins, and minerals. A mere half cup of rolled oats contains an impressive 5 grams of fiber —a crucial component of a balanced diet. Fiber not only aids digestion but also helps keep you feeling fuller longer, making it easier to resist unhealthy snacking throughout the day.

Furthermore, the soluble fiber found in oats is known to help lower cholesterol levels and regulate blood sugar levels, making them a heart-healthy choice. For those aiming to shed a few pounds, the fiber content in oats can contribute to weight loss efforts by promoting satiety and curbing hunger pangs.

These pancakes are easy to make. You can add different mix-ins and toppings; everyone can create their own ideal stack. Enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or even lunch. Mmmm! Watch me as I make breakfast by clicking here.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

You’ll need a few simple ingredients:

• Ripe bananas, mashed to perfection for a naturally sweet touch
• Room temperature eggs, binding our ingredients together
• Old-fashioned oats provide texture and a nutritional boost
• A dash of cinnamon, infusing warmth and flavor into every bite
• Baking powder, ensuring our pancakes rise to fluffy perfection
• Nourishing almond milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk alternative)
• A splash of vanilla extract, adding depth and aroma to the batter
• Optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for those seeking a little hint of sweetness

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BANANA OAT PANCAKES:

Step 1: Begin by combining all ingredients (except the optional mix-ins) in a blender. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2: If you’ve opted for chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter with a spoon or spatula.

Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4: Once the skillet is hot, pour a 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the surface.

Step 5: Allow the batter to cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 6: Repeat the process until you’ve used all the batter, stacking your pancakes high with anticipation.

Step 7: Optional to add your favorite toppings at this point. Enjoy!

These pancakes are so simple because the batter is made in your blender! I love using my Magic Bullet—it’s super easy!

As much as I adore the simplicity of these pancakes, I’m always open to experimentation. Whether it’s adding a handful of chocolate chips or layering on slices of fresh strawberries, feel free to customize your stack to suit your taste buds.

When it comes to serving, the possibilities are endless. Drizzle your pancakes with pure maple syrup for sweetness, or indulge in a dollop of Nutella as a bonus treat. Pair your pancakes with a steaming cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice for the ultimate breakfast experience.
