Make these easy, naturally sweet banana oatmeal pancakes using just three ingredients. This quick blender recipe yields fluffy results, perfect for a healthy breakfast or wholesome brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluff)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the ripe bananas, rolled oats, and eggs into a blender. Add baking powder now if you are using it.
  2. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. This may take 30 to 60 seconds, depending on your blender. The batter should resemble thick pancake batter.
  3. Let the batter rest on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes. This step allows the oats to absorb moisture, which helps create a fluffier pancake.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface, and the edges will look set when it is time to flip.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  8. Serve your banana oatmeal pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, like fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • For gluten free pancakes, make sure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas; they provide the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add a splash of milk (dairy or non-dairy) until you reach your desired consistency.
  • These are excellent for using up overripe banana recipes.
