This recipe is not new to my blog. I came out with a blender banana pancake recipe over a year ago, as one of my first recipes, actually. Here is the thing though- I am always learning and evolving in the kitchen and while the original recipe is tasty, the pancakes were a little dense and heavy. I knew immediately that this recipe needed a major upgrade to make them pillowy and soft, and here we are.

We absolutely LOVE these pancakes and I hope you do too! They are made with healthier ingredients but they do not taste “healthy” at all!

Ingredients

These delicious vegan blender banana oat pancakes are packed with whole food plant based ingredients! While the pancake batter is oil-free, cooking them with oil is optional. I choose to add a little coconut oil to my pan when I cook them so they don’t stick and because I love the taste it adds to the pancakes.

Rolled Oats: there is no flour in this recipe, just rolled oats! To make sure these are certified gluten-free, buy a brand that has the GF certification. I like this brand!

Ripe Bananas: you want these spotty! The riper, the more flavorful and sweet.

Pure Maple Syrup

Oat Milk: sweetened or unsweetened will work.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Baking Powder

Vanilla Extract

Ground Cinnamon

Pink Himalayan Salt

How to Make

Grab all of your ingredients and mash your 2 medium bananas. You want 1 cup mashed banana.

Add 1 cup mashed banana and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender. The batter should resemble a thick smoothie and it should pour and spread easily. If it seems too thick- add a splash of milk and blend again until it thins out. If it seems to thin, add a tbsp or 2 of rolled oats and blend again until it thickens.

Let the batter rest undisturbed for about 10 minutes while you clean up the kitchen. Letting the batter rest is what gives us thick and fluffy pancakes!

Heat up a pan (no oil if you have a trusty non-stick pan or use a little coconut oil) over medium-low heat. Use 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping when there are holes on the surface of the pancake and the other side is golden brown and firm enough for the spatula to get underneath. Then, cook the other side for about another 2 minutes, until golden brown.

This recipe makes about 10-11 medium size pancakes. I hope you enjoy these vegan blender banana oat pancakes!
