Starting the new year with these Easy Banana Oat Pancakes! Just blend up banana, oats, sweetener, leavening and a bit of almond flour and done!

These pancakes are best served fresh as they are fluffy right off the girdle. With no gluten, the fluffyness tends to reduce on cooling. Refrigerate the batter to keep for longer and make the pancakes when ready to serve! Add spices or blends of choice for flavor, add some candied fruits, chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for variation

Notes

Fold in chocolate chips, berries, chopped nuts in the batter for variation. 
Serve the pancakes fresh off the girdle for best texture. The pancakes are gluten-free without extra starch and gums to hold the fluffy texture, so the fluffyness tends to settle after a while when cool. For the same reason, the texture of the pancakes is different from classic pancakes.

    These cooked up nicely and held together well, but the texture was a bit dense, probably because my blender isn’t powerful enough to get the oats completely smooth. I saw your above comment about substituting oat flour – what quantity would you suggest?

    1. Richa says:

      Same amount

    They are amazing, properly a new Sunday tradition. Pro tip: add peanut butter, who doesn’t like peanut butter and banana? Thanks for the recipe!

  4. Maneesha says:

    So delicious! I ate this in a non-traditional way – I spread almond butter and chia jam on the pancake, rolled it up, and ate it! Like a thick crepe! Deelish!

  5. Tina says:

    Any chance I can make these in a food processor? I don’t have a blender 🙁

    1. Richa says:
