    Healthy banana oat pancakes. Delicious and extremely easy to make. Put the ingredients into a blender or food processor and then cook them in just 20 minutes!

    Two plates of banana oat pancakes topped with honey and sliced bananas. A jar of honey with a spoon in between.

    So where did this quick and easy healthy banana oat pancakes recipe idea come from?

    Well you folks know I love to re-create excellent foods that I’ve had the privilege to eat.

    And no more so than these delicious banana oat pancakes!

    These were what my other half had for her breakfast when we were in Uganda, and she just couldn’t stop enthusing about them!

    Close up of a plate of banana oat pancakes topped with slices of banana and drizzled with honey. A fork to the right hand side and a glass of orange juice and jar of honey at the back.

    A hearty breakfast was called for prior to our Gorilla trek.

    My other half choose the banana oat pancakes option from the menu. Whilst I had a veggie omelette.

    My veggie omelette was delicious. But her choice, banana pancakes with oats was by far the better one - I had food envy!

    I only got to try a little bite, but those oatmeal pancakes were excellent. 

    With a great texture from the oats, packed with goodness they're also light and fluffy and topped with lots of honey.

    I couldn’t stop thinking about them! And how I was going to recreate them as soon as we got back!

    So these healthy panckes with oats are my take on those amazing holiday pancakes (albeit healthier)!

    There are of course many different kinds of pancake recipes out there. You can use butter, you can use flour etc. etc.

    But, I prefer to keep our banana oat pancakes healthier by not using butter.

    And using healthy oats and ground almonds, instead of flour for an added protein boost.

    Tips For How To Make Banana Oat Pancakes

    • If you have time make the batter and then let it rest in your refrigerator for a few minutes, or better still overnight. This makes the pancakes more fluffy.
    • Prior to pre-heating your non-stick pan/griddle/skillet lightly coat it with a little vegetable oil or cooking spray.
    • Test a little of the batter first to see how it cooks. If your pancake is burnt on the outside and raw on the inside, reduce the cooking heat.
    • If cooking several pancakes in the pan at the same time, make sure you leave enough room for flipping.
    • When cooking, only press down lightly on the pancake or it will lose its “fluffiness.”
    • Once cooked, remove each pancake to a flat baking tray and keep warm, but not covered in your oven. If you cover, or stack them, the steam will make them soggy.

    Questions About These Healthy Banana Oat Panckes

    • Are banana oat pancakes gluten free? Yes. But make sure the oats you use are 100% gluten free. Regular oats are processed in factory environments which might also be processing wheat, barley and rye. Therefore there's a risk of cross-contamination.
    • How long can I store the cooked pancakes for? They will keep for up to 2 days covered in the fridge.
    • Can I freeze these pancakes after cooking? Yes. Allow each pancake to cool first. Then stack them, each separated by greaseproof paper in cling film. Thaw them completely before re-heating.
    • How best to re-heat my banana oatmeal pancakes? Re-heat them gently by warming a pan with them in. They're not great microwaved.

      We often make our pancakes with oats too, as I much prefer the texture of oat flour to regular flour. You have given me a huge pancake craving now, so it might be pancake time tomorrow morning!

        We're the same Dannii. I actually can't remember last time I made pancakes with flour....

        Plus when I'm making them this way, with oats, it makes me thing that I'm getting my oats for breakfast. It wouldn't be that way with flour.

        Hope you enjoy your pancakes tomorrow! 🙂

        Ha! That's brilliant! 🙂

        So glad that I'm inspiring everyone to want pancakes now.

        But made with oats, they really are better don't you think Hollie? And a much better, healthier fuel for running.

      Interesting to let them kind of proof overnight, I wouldn't have thought of that!
      Annnnnnd now I want pancakes.

        Yay! Let's all make pancakes!

        I have to say I was skeptical Suz when I first read that tip, to let them proof overnight. But it worked for me. The proteins in the oats relaxed and they were much easier cooked.
