This blender oatmeal pancake recipe yields an all-around nice pancake that’s much less banana-y than the others. I even have banana waffle recipes—complete wheat and oat-based—these are nice, too.

They’re the only pancakes by far, with solely three components on the core: mashed banana, eggs and whole-grain flour (you may have a number of flour choices right here).

3-Ingredient Banana Pancake Notes

I attempted two-ingredient banana pancakes a very long time in the past (banana and egg solely) and located nothing to love about them. Like, you’re higher off consuming scrambled eggs with a facet of banana. Including slightly flour makes all of the distinction with these pancakes.

Your flour choices for these pancakes embody complete wheat flour, buckwheat flour or oat flour. They work equally properly. Buckwheat flour has probably the most daring taste, whereas complete wheat is probably the most delicate. Oat flour is hearty and presents a light-weight oatmeal-like taste. For gluten-free pancakes, select licensed gluten-free buckwheat or oat flour.

The eggs on this recipe are completely important. Flax eggs will not work on this recipe. Don’t try or you’ll find yourself with unhappy banana-flax mush.

Use overripe bananas for this recipe. Ideally, they’ve at the very least just a few brown spots. Overripe bananas are sweeter and impart extra banana taste.

You’ll must dial down the warmth as you cook dinner these pancakes. Most pancakes include some sugar, which not solely makes the pancakes sweeter, but additionally helps stop them from burning as they cook dinner. Since these pancakes are fully naturally sweetened with bananas (no added sweetener, not even maple syrup), they’re particularly delicate to warmth. If you happen to discover that your pancakes are turning too golden on the surface earlier than the insides are cooked, the skillet has change into too scorching.

Nutritious Combine-In Choices & Serving Strategies

These banana pancakes are excellent of their most straightforward kind, containing solely banana, egg and flour. If you happen to’d like to spice up the flavour or vitamin, add any of the next:

• Floor cinnamon: I at all times add cinnamon as a result of I really like the flavour.
• Hemp seeds and/or floor flaxseed: Each supply wholesome fats and fiber.
• Unsweetened shredded coconut: You can stir a pair tablespoons into the batter. You’ll get even higher toasted taste when you sprinkle slightly coconut over the raw facet of the pancake earlier than flipping.
• Pinch of salt: I don’t suppose you’ll miss it, however slightly little bit of salt ought to amp up the general taste.

For serving our daughter, I usually add a light-weight unfold of runny almond butter sprinkled with hemp seeds or a pat of butter. I like them that manner myself! For extra of a breakfast deal with, attempt an expansion of peanut or almond butter or Greek yogurt for protein, plus further sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
