Easy Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

WW Recipe of the Day: Easy Healthy Banana Pancakes with Oats

In the early days of my marriage, my husband survived and actually enjoyed running 14 marathons. During training periods, pancakes were an everyday breakfast.

Over the years, the marathons have slipped away however the pancake obsession has survived and we often have them on Sunday morning for breakfast or brunch.

Really ripe bananas will make these healthy low fat pancakes with oats sweeter, however medium ripe fruit also works great for this recipe, especially if you end of topping them with a few sliced bananas or sweet summer berries.

How to Make Healthy Banana Pancakes

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Step 2: Place all ingredients in a food processor (affiliate link) and pulse to thoroughly blend and form a medium thick batter. Pour mixture into a medium-sized bowl. If you don't have a food processor (affiliate link) you could use your blender (affiliate link) instead.

Step 3: Spray non-stick griddle or large frying pan with cooking spray and set over medium heat. When hot, add ¼ cupfuls of batter to the pan.
Bubbles will form on top of the pancakes and in 1 to 2 minutes, it will be easy to flip.

Step 4: Cook until both sides are browned.

Recipe Notes

A stovetop griddle is my pancake machine of choice. It's easy, fits on the burner, heats quickly and I can move it around the stove if it gets too hot or cold.

Any non-stick frying pan will work just as well, if you use a large one.

In any case, remember to heat and spray the pan BEFORE adding the batter. You should hear the sizzle and small holes will form very quickly.

When ready to flip pancakes, use a small spatula.

Serving Suggestions

Sliced bananas on the top are a perfect way to enhance these pancakes.

Of course, another bowl of fruit alongside with mixed berries or melon would be a good match.

If this is for brunch or breakfast, a good steaming cuppa Jo is my favorite beverage.

Ways to Use Leftover Banana Oat Pancake Batter

I usually make just 5 or 6 for the two of us. Rather than making all the pancakes and reheating (although this does work), I save the batter in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Either as a snack for one of us or a pancake to serve instead of toast the next day, the flavor and texture is still light and delightful.

Light & Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

If you have a sweet tooth, add the stevia freely. A small drizzle of honey, maple syrup or agave will also sweeten up the pancakes, so be careful when seasoning the batter.
