Wake Up With Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Banana Oatmeal Pancake Recipe

Today is #NationalPancakeDay, but you don't need any kind of holiday in order to appreciate a nourishing, healthy breakfast! Here's a banana oatmeal pancake recipe that's a favorite here at the retreat. You can dress them up any way you want (pro tip: we like adding blueberries near the end of the cooking time).

We use a blender to mix the batter – this helps the pancakes maintain that delicious fluffy texture of a traditional pancake made with white flour. The banana and oats provide potassium and dietary fiber and keep this recipe dairy-free and gluten-free.

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Makes 8 Pancakes
Skill Level: Beginner
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 1/2 medium bananas
  • 2 Tbsp. 100% pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Coconut oil to prepare – about 1 tsp. for every two pancakes

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients (except for coconut oil) into blender and puree until smooth.
  2. Heat skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 tsp. of coconut oil to pan. Allow it to melt and spread over the pan evenly.
  4. Pour pancake batter into pan. (We usually do smaller pancakes, two at a time – it's easier to manage!).
  5. Cook 2-3 minutes and flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Once pancakes are evenly browned, remove them from heat and set aside until serving. Continue until you've gone through all the batter.

Serve with a protein and greens as part of a complete breakfast. Once you get familiar with the matter, feel free to experiment with add-ins like other spices or berries.
