It’s Pancake Day and I’m so excited to share one of my all-time favorite pancake recipes! These Banana, Oat and Egg Pancakes are super easy to make, healthy, and totally yummy. The best part? You only need 4 simple ingredients to whip them up. Whether it’s breakfast, brunch, or even a snack, these pancakes are always a hit in my house.
Method In Detail
Blend it all up
To start, grab your blender or food processor and add all the main ingredients: 100g of oats, 2 ripe bananas, 3 eggs, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Make sure your bananas are nice and ripe those spotty ones are the sweetest and blend the easiest. Blend everything together until you get a smooth, creamy batter. It should look like traditional pancake batter thick but pourable. If your batter looks too thin and runny, don’t worry! Just let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This gives the oats time to absorb some of the liquid, which naturally thickens the batter. It makes a big difference and helps your pancakes hold their shape while cooking.
Heat the pan
Next, take out your non-stick frying pan and place it over medium heat. This is important too hot, and your pancakes might burn on the outside while staying uncooked in the middle. Once your pan is hot, lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or butter. This helps prevent sticking and gives the pancakes that golden brown finish. If you’re cooking a batch, it’s a good idea to re-grease the pan in between pancakes too.
Scoop and cook
Now it’s time to make pancakes! Use about 1/4 cup of batter for each one this helps keep the pancakes the same size and makes cooking easier. Carefully pour the batter into the hot pan and let it cook for around 2 to 3 minutes on the first side. You’ll know it’s ready to flip when little bubbles start to appear on top and the edges look slightly firm. Gently flip the pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown. Keep repeating this process until all your batter is used up. You should end up with a stack of fluffy, warm pancakes that smell amazing!
Stack ’em and serve
Once your pancakes are cooked, it’s time for the fun part serving! Stack them on a plate, nice and high. Then add your favorite toppings. I love spreading a bit of cashew butter on top, drizzling some maple syrup, and finishing with a handful of fresh berries like raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. It looks beautiful and tastes even better!

Notes
- If your bananas aren’t ripe enough, the pancakes won’t be sweet or soft. Use spotty,
ripe bananas! - Don’t rush the blending make sure your batter is smooth.
- If the batter is too runny, let it rest for 10–15 minutes before cooking.
- Keep the heat at medium too high and the pancakes might burn on the outside while
staying gooey inside. - Grease your pan lightly each time before pouring a new pancake to keep them from
sticking.
