Instructions
It’s so easy to make these pancakes! Just combine the ingredients together well and then cook the batter on a hot griddle or in a frying pan.
Combine ingredients
There’s no need to mash the banana first if you are using a food processor or blender. Just toss the ingredients into the machine.
Then pulse and or purée the ingredients together until a smooth pancake bater is formed. If you want to combine the ingredients by hand, you’ll need to finely chop the rolled oats or quick oats and mash the banana first.
Cook
Grease a pan or griddle with cooking spray or butter. Preheat the cooking surface to medium heat. Pour about two tablespoons of pancake batter onto the pan or griddle for each pancake.
Cook the batter until each pancake is golden brown on both sides. It should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Tips
- Spice it up. Add some cinnamon or other spices to the batter for an extra flavor boost.
- Try add-ins. If you want a heartier version, add some chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- Make them richer. Add a little milk or cream to the batter to give it a richer flavor. Unsweetened almond milk can be added instead to keep them dairy free.
Serving suggestions
These gluten-free pancakes are delicious on their own, but you can also top them with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit, raspberry compote, stewed pears, sliced bananas, nut butter, yogurt, honey, and or syrup are all great options.
If you’re feeling extra indulgent, add some chocolate chips to the batter before cooking or serve them with french toast. No matter how you top them, these pancakes are sure to hit the spot. They are great served with a hashbrown casserole too.

There are a few reasons why your banana oat pancakes might be mushy. One possibility is that you didn’t cook them long enough. Make sure to cook the pancakes until they’re golden brown on both sides. Another possibility is that there is too much liquid in the batter so only add a small amount if used. Finally, over-ripe bananas can also make for mushy pancakes, so try using bananas that are just starting to turn brown.
You can use a coffee grinder to blend oats into a powder. Just add a few oats at a time and pulse until they’re the desired consistency. You can also use a mortar and pestle to grind them into a powder. Another option is to finely chop them with a knife or chopping tool.
