Did you know you can make homemade pancakes without flour, oil, or sugar?! These easy andbanana pancakestaste absolutely incredible with nutty notes from the oats, and sweet, fruity flavor from the ripe bananas used in the batter. They’re soft and tender and the PERFECT pancake, in my opinion. By blending up the ingredients, the oats take on the role of “flour” to act as the binding agent, but have way more nutrients and filling fiber. Meanwhile, the banana acts as sweetener, moistener, and extra-fun flavoring agent!

Ingredients:

  • Oats:You can use old-fashioned or quick oats. Both work and, when blended with the other ingredients, act as the flour or binding ingredient to keep the pancakes together!
  • Baking powder:Some baking powder helps the pancakes to rise and get fluffy.
  • Ground cinnamon:Cinnamon adds a warm spice flavor.
  • Salt:Salt helps to balance out the other ingredients.
  • Bananas:The bananas get blended into the batter, too, adding a sweet and fruity flavor and added moisture!
  • Eggs:Eggs bind the batter together as it cooks and help the batter to rise.
  • Milk:Feel free to use dairy or nut milk. It simply acts as the liquid in the batter and lends a creamier texture and taste.
  • Vanilla:Vanilla adds some warmth to complement the sweet from banana and spice from cinnamon.

Tips for Making the Best Homemade Banana Pancakes:

  • Blend the batter:This really incorporates everything together well, while breaking down the oats and banana so that the batter is smooth and creamy.
  • Use extra-ripe bananas:Try to pick bananas that have brown spots and are slightly mushy to get the most moist and sweet pancakes.
  • Use more milk for thinner batter:If you want crepe-like pancakes, add up to 1/4 cup more milk to thin out the batter.
