Banana Oat Pancakes

(vegetarian, gluten free, nut free)

This banana oat pancake recipe is one of my favourite pancake recipes (I make it every week or so)! With only 5 staple ingredients, you can whip these up in 10 minutes in the morning with minimal effort and clean up.

I highly recommend also adding some fun mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips) and toppings (maple syrup, homemade nut butter, fresh fruit) to these pancakes. You may also mix in a spoonful of chia, hemp, or ground flaxseed if you’d like.

A super simple, go-to banana pancake recipe that takes only a few minutes to whip up! 


Ingredients

Scale

For the pancakes:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 egg (or 3 tbsp egg whites)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup oat flour* (+ 1 tbsp if mixture is too wet/banana is large)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • dash of cinnamon (optional)

Mix in suggestions:

  • chocolate chips 
  • blueberries
  • 1 tbsp ground flax, chia, or hemp seeds

Topping suggestions:

  • maple syrup
  • nut butter
  • fresh fruit

Instructions

  1. Mash banana in a bowl, then mix in egg.
  2. Mix in vanilla, flour, and baking powder.
  3. Bring a pan to medium heat. Once heated, place pancake batter on pan and let cook until bubbles pop and golden brown on the bottom. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Notes

*Make your own oat flour by blending oats into a fine flour.

For Vegan: Replace the egg with 3 tbsp aquafaba. The texture of the pancake won’t be as fluffy, but it will still work!

For Gluten FreeUse gluten free oats.
