Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes {5 Ingredients!}

6/23/22

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

These Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes are a great way to start your day and the perfect meal prep breakfast – all you need are five ingredients!

Banana Oat Pancakes

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Bananas – use one cup of unsweetened apple sauce instead.
  • Rolled oats – this recipe works well with rolled oats, large flake oats and quick oats. If you prefer to use purchased oat flour that’s fine too.
  • Eggs – I haven't tried a vegan alternative yet, but you can use flax or chia seed eggs and see how it works!
  • Baking powder – the baking powder is important for texture. If you don't have baking powder on hand, you can skip this but your pancakes won't be as fluffy.
  • Almond milk – swap out for any non-dairy milk like oat milk, macadamia milk, coconut milk, etc.

Banana Oat Pancakes

How to make banana oat pancakes

  1. Mash the bananas.
  2. Mix in the eggs.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture.
  5. Cook the pancakes.
  6. Serve with your favourite toppings!

Banana Oat Pancakes

The best add-ins and toppings

You can also add on tons of delicious toppings. Topping your pancakes with fresh fruit is always a delicious option and maple syrup is a classic go-to but here is a list of even more topping ideas:

  • Peanut butter
  • Nutella
  • Greek yogurt, any flavour
  • Honey
  • Cacao nibs
  • Walnuts, sliced almonds or other nuts
  • Seeds of your choice

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in banana oat pancakes?

This recipe has just 82 calories per serving/pancake without any toppings. They’re a delicious and low-calorie breakfast option!

Can you make them without eggs?

I personally haven’t tried making this recipe without eggs, but if you have an egg allergy or are a vegan, you can definitely try swapping out the eggs for a chia or flax seed egg. To make one flax seed egg, combine one tablespoon of flax seed with three tablespoons of water and let it sit in the fridge for about 15 minutes. Since this recipe requires two eggs, you’ll need two flax seed eggs.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! These banana oat pancakes are gluten-free since they don’t use flour. Just make sure that whatever rolled oats you’re buying don’t have any gluten in them.

Banana Oat Pancakes

Storing and reheating

The best part about these pancakes is that they are perfect for meal prep! Place your extra pancakes in meal prep containers or a large freezer bag with a sheet of parchment paper in between each layer of pancakes. Then place the pancakes in the fridge for up to 5 days – that's a whole week of breakfast ready for you!

When you're ready to eat your pancakes just place them in the toaster, serve them with your favourite toppings and enjoy.

Freezing this recipe

The real game-changer when it comes to these pancakes is that they can be frozen for 3 months. Following the same instructions above, you'll want to place your pancakes in a large freezer bag with a sheet of parchment paper separating each layer and stick them in the freezer. When you're ready to reheat them, all you have to do is pop them in a toaster from frozen.
