Print Recipe

These fluffy banana oat pancakes are made with just five simple ingredients, no flour needed. They are quick, healthy, naturally gluten-free, and perfect for a wholesome breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, ground into oat flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Grind 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine and flour-like, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash 2 medium ripe bananas with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
  3. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking powder over the wet mixture, then add the oat flour. Add optional cinnamon and nuts if desired. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the oats.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; they should evaporate quickly.
  7. Lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray or butter. Pour ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet.
  8. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash of milk (dairy or plant-based) to loosen. If too thin, add a tablespoon more oat flour. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Do not overmix to keep pancakes tender. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Flip carefully with a thin, wide spatula.
