Make quick, naturally sweet, and fluffy banana oatmeal pancakes using only three main ingredients. This blender recipe is easy, gluten-free, and perfect for a wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for extra fluff)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the skillet

Instructions

  1. Place the bananas, rolled oats, and eggs into a blender. Add baking powder and vanilla extract if you are using them.
  2. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth. You should not see any large oat pieces remaining. This may take 30 to 60 seconds.
  3. Let the batter rest on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes. This step allows the oats to absorb moisture, which helps create a fluffier pancake.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes of your desired size.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness.
  • For gluten-free pancakes, confirm your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • If the batter seems too thick after resting, add a tablespoon of water or milk to thin it slightly.
  • Resting the batter is key for achieving a fluffy texture. Do not skip this step.
