Banana Oat Pancakes
These banana oat pancakes combine all-purpose and oat flours with mashed bananas, eggs, and milk to create tender, slightly sweet pancakes. Sliced bananas pressed onto each pancake add extra banana flavor while cooking. The texture balances a soft crumb with the chew of oats, and the recipe includes practical steps to cook and keep pancakes warm while finishing the batch.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or use all oat flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large banana divided
- 2 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 tablespoon butter melted then cooled, plus more for greasing pan (or ghee, melted
- 1 cup milk (your choice of any milk)
Instructions
- Combine flours, oats, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mash half of a banana (about 1/3 cup) until smooth. Thinly slice the remaining bananas and set aside.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, melted butter and milk to the bowl with the mashed banana. Whisk to combine until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes while you preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, add enough butter or ghee to lightly grease the bottom of the pan.
- Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the pan and gently press 3 to 4 banana slices onto the top. Once bubbles form on top and the edges are cooked, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until cooked through. If you have a large pan, you can cook multiple pancakes at once.
- Keep the pancakes warm on a plate in the oven while you repeat with the remaining batter and bananas using additional butter to grease the pan as needed.
Notes
- Store leftover pancakes refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat quickly in the microwave or toaster oven.
- For freezing, cool pancakes completely, freeze on a baking sheet, then transfer to a container; freeze up to 3 months.
