Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk any kind: dairy or plant based
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional but tasty
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Cooking oil or butter for the pan

How to Make Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Step 1: Prepare the Oat Flour

Place the oats in a blender or food processor and blend them until they turn into a fine, flour-like texture. This step is important because it helps make the pancakes soft and smooth instead of grainy.

Step 2: Make the Batter

Add the ripe bananas, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the blender with the oat flour. Blend everything together until you get a smooth and creamy batter with no lumps, then let it rest for about 5 minutes so it thickens slightly.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes First Side

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour small amounts of batter into the pan to form pancakes, and cook them for about 2–3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 4: Flip and Finish Cooking

Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter, then serve warm with your favorite toppings like fruits, yogurt, or honey.
