Ingredients
- 125ml oat milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 1 small banana
- 100g rolled oats
- 2 tsp baking powder
- few drops vanilla extract
- oil, we used avocado oil spray
- low fat yogurt and fruit to top
Method
- STEP 1Put the oat milk, egg yolks, banana, oats, baking powder and vanilla in a blender and process to as smooth a mixture as you can get. Whisk the eggs whites until they hold stiff peaks. Whisk 1-2 tbsp of the whites into the batter, then fold in the rest.
- STEP 2Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and spray with a whisper of oil, pour about 2 tbsp of batter into the pan and cook for 1-2 mins, until the base sets and bubbles appear all over the top. Flip and cook the other side for a minute. Repeat in batches, making sure the top looks dryish before attempting the flip, or the centre will collapse.

Ingredients in Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
It only takes a few simple ingredients to make these flourless oat pancakes. I bet you already have everything you need to make these pancakes in your pantry.
These healthy pancakes are made with bananas, eggs, gluten-free rolled oats, baking powder, salt, pure vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, pure maple syrup, and milk.
How To Make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth. (photos 1-3)
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soften and the pancake batter to thicken. (photo 4)
- Heat a griddle or skillet to medium heat. Once warmed, grease with cooking spray, oil, or butter. I use gluten-free coconut cooking spray.
- Scoop the batter into a greased ¼ cup measuring cup and pour the batter onto the greased griddle or skillet. (photo 5)
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes. Once the pancakes puff up and start to lightly bubble, flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat. If your griddle starts smoking, it means your pan is too hot. (photo 6)
- Repeat with the remaining pancake batter adding a little more cooking oil or butter to the pan between batches as needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
