If you’re tired of the same hard boiled eggs, toast, and fruit for your morning weekday meal prep or you’re looking to shake up your weekend breakfast game, we have an easy, gluten free breakfast recipe for you to try. These banana oat pancakes contain zero refined flour and are naturally sweetened—making them perfect for the entire family, even your littlest ones.
This recipe can be doubled or tripled so you have extra for the freezer for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Fresh berries (for serving)
Directions
- Prepare the Batter:
- Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
- Add the bananas, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using) to the blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set.
- Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and additional honey or maple syrup if desired.
Tips:
- For extra fluffiness, you can separate the eggs and whip the egg whites until soft peaks form before folding them into the blended batter.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash the bananas by hand and mix them with the oat flour and other ingredients in a bowl instead of blending.
- These pancakes can be frozen for a quick breakfast option. Simply reheat in the microwave or toaster.
