Description

These Banana Oat Pancakes are a wholesome, naturally sweet, and satisfying breakfast option that’s both gluten-free and dairy-free. Made with ripe bananas, rolled oats, and eggs, they come together in minutes using a blender — no refined sugar or flour needed! Soft on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and full of banana flavor, they’re perfect for busy mornings or post-workout meals.

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas

• 2 large eggs

• 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

• 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• Pinch of salt

• Butter or oil for cooking

  

  No Knead Italian Panini Bread

Optional Add-ins:

• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup for sweetness

• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts

Instructions

1. Blend the Batter:
   In a blender, combine bananas, eggs, oats, milk, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

2. Preheat the Pan:
   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

3. Cook the Pancakes:
   Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

4. Serve Warm:
   Stack the pancakes and serve with sliced bananas, honey, peanut butter, or Greek yogurt.

Notes

• Overripe bananas work best — they add natural sweetness and moisture.

• You can make the batter ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

• Make them mini for kids or snacks — they freeze well too!

Tips

• If the batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until pourable.
