Not a week goes by where I’m not baking up a batch of our favorite banana muffins or a loaf of this ultimate banana bread. Truly. But those are more like having dessert for breakfast (which I fully endorse. HA.) These Banana Oatmeal Pancakes, on the other hand, are incredibly healthy and yet still soft and tender, and taste fantastic!

Healthy Banana Pancakes That Taste Terrific

Banana Pancake Recipe

You only need a few simple, pantry ingredients to make these banana oat pancakes.
(Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.)

• Bananas: Our star. The key to these pancakes is using overly ripe bananas. The outside should have a ton of brown specs – even solid black is great! – and the fruit should naturally break apart when you peel it. This is what will provide that rich, sweet, banana flavor and eliminate the need for additional sweeteners.
• Unsweetened almond milk: Mashed banana and unsweetened almond milk replace the butter and cow’s milk used in traditional pancake recipes. They both provide sweetness and moisture, and the almond milk lends a wonderful nutty flavor.
• Oats: Old fashioned rolled oats is used in place of flour. When blended, it basically becomes oat flour and serves the same purpose, but is also rich in fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
• Eggs: These are the binding agent that provide structure and holds the pancakes together.
• Baking powder: The leavening agent that gives the pancakes lift.
• Vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt: For added flavor so the pancakes don’t taste flat.

How to Make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Ditch the bowls and whisks – you won’t need them for this banana pancake recipe, because they’re made right in your blender. Well, the batter anyway – you still need a griddle or pan.

You simply add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, then let the batter rest while you heat up your griddle. You can conveniently pour the batter directly from the blender onto the griddle, or transfer the batter to a measuring cup first. To make this banana pancake recipe, follow the steps below included in the detailed printable recipe card.

Freezing and Storing Leftover Pancakes

If you have any leftover pancakes or want to make them ahead of time so you have them ready to go, they store really well.

• To store leftovers: Let the pancakes cool completely, then store in the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag or tightly sealed container. They will keep up to 3 days.
• To freeze: Let the pancakes cool completely, then place them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Transfer to the freezer until just solid, then put them in a freezer-safe plastic bag. They will keep for up to 2 months.
• To reheat: These can either be heated in a toaster oven, warm oven, or microwave. No need to thaw first.
• To keep warm: If you’re making a big batch and need to keep the pancakes warm before serving, place them on an oven-safe platter or tray and keep them in a 200 degree F oven until ready to eat.

What to Serve with Banana Oat Pancakes

These oatmeal and banana pancakes are great all on their own with a little drizzle of maple syrup. For a more complete breakfast, you can’t go wrong with hash browns, scrambled eggs, and a fresh fruit salad. Or if you really love bananas, serve them with a banana smoothie!
