Why You Will Love These Banana Oat Blender Pancakes:

• They are so simple to make. Just a matter of adding everything to the blender and blending until smooth. Pour the pancake batter on the griddle and a few minutes later, these banana oat pancakes will be yours! Such an easy recipe!
• Easily adjusted for your dietary needs. Pancakes that are gluten free aren’t always the easiest to come by. But these can be easily made without gluten by using certified gluten free oats. You can also use a dairy free milk if desired.
• Kid friendly. This is the best part about this recipe for me. Not only do the kids love to eat these, they enjoy helping make them as well. Since everything goes into the blender, it’s pretty hard to make a mess. (However, my child will always find a way !)
• Freezer friendly. Make a few batches at once and then freeze these banana pancakes for later. For busy school mornings, having them ready to go makes things run a lot smoother for sure.
• Easy to vary. You can add in other ingredients to give them your own personal flare. Toss in chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped pecans, add some pumpkin spice, a touch of nutmeg and so much more!

Recipe Ingredients:

• banana: you want overripe bananas. There should be lots of browning on the peel and soft. This will make for nice, sweet fluffy pancakes.
• rolled oats: rolled oats are best for this recipe. When you blend up the ingredients, it will act as oat flour. Quick oats can be used as well but I do not recommend steel-cut oats. Gluten free oats will work great–make sure the package says “certified gluten free.”
• egg: a large egg is ideal
• milk: use the milk you have on hand and prefer. I have made these with whole milk, unsweetened almond milk and 2% milk and have had great success with all of them. Another dairy free milk such as oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, etc. should work as well!
• sea salt: just a touch for added flavor
• vanilla: use real vanilla extract for the best flavor
• baking powder: this will help give these a slight lift. Make sure your baking powder is not expired.
• cinnamon: adjust to taste. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg if desired to these oatmeal blender pancakes.
• optional add ins: lots to choose from but some ideas: chopped pecans, walnuts, mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, sprinkles and more!

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Add oats to your blender (or a food processor will work) and process until the oats are a fine, flour consistency. While you technically don’t have to do this step, I prefer it to make sure that the pancakes are a smooth fluffy texture versus gritty.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except any add-ins like pecans or other ingredients) and blend until smooth. If the batter seems too thick, add more milk, 1-2 tablespoons at a time. Allow batter to sit for several minutes before cooking.

• Over medium heat, oil or butter your griddle or skillet. Pour batter making approximately 3-4 inch circles, leaving space.
• Allow the pancakes to heat 1-2 minutes until bubbles form around the edges and flip. Heat until cooked through.
• Serve immediately with favorite toppings.
