These Blender Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are perfect pancakes when you want something sweet for breakfast but made with healthy, wholesome ingredients! They're perfect for weekend brunch or meal prep breakfast. These pancakes are also a great baby led weaning recipe!
Add the oats to the blender and blend on high for 30 seconds to create a flour-like texture.
Then add the rest of the ingredients and blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until completely combined. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes if time allows (this will help them get fluffier!)
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease with a little butter or coconut oil.
Once hot, add 1/4 cupfuls of batter and cook on for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.Note that these pancakes don’t bubble at the top like normal pancakes but they will slightly puff up and along the edges will get dry. If pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat. I’ll usually start on medium heat and finish cooking on low heat by the time I get through all the pancakes.
Serve with banana slices, maple syrup, whatever sounds good and enjoy!
