    I love pancakes, but most recipes out there are filled with sugar, require many ingredients, and make four or more servings. That is why I am so excited to share this recipe with you! It’s healthy, protein-packed, single-serve, and so easy to make.

    These banana oat pancakes are made with three simple ingredients: banana, eggs, and rolled oats. You don’t need flour, and you don’t need sugar. They are so fluffy, so soft, and have the best taste.

    If you are in a rush in the morning or just looking for a healthier pancakes recipe, these are for you. Let’s not forget that they come together in under 10 minutes!

    I can’t wait to hear what you think.

    Are they healthy?

    Yes, these banana oatmeal pancakes are healthy since they are only made with three simple ingredients. First, there is no added sugar. Second, they are high in protein with over 20 grams per serving. Third, they are gluten-free and dairy-free.

    Ingredients

    You only need three ingredients to make these fluffy pancakes! They make for the perfect quick and healthy breakfast. Here is a list:

    • Banana: First up, grab a super spotty banana. The browner the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful these pancakes are!
    • Rolled Oats: There is no flour in these pancakes; instead, we use rolled oats which is blended into a pancake batter.
    • Eggs: Since we aren’t using baking powder, the eggs make these 3 ingredient protein pancakes fluffy.

    Kitchen tools need

    They require a few different kitchen tools. Here is a list so you are prepared and ready to cook!

    • Blender
    • Saute Pan
    • Spatula
    • Measuring Tools: 2/3 cup.

    How to make 3 ingredient banana oat protein pancakes

    These homemade 3 ingredient banana oatmeal pancakes are not only super delicious, but they are so easy to make! They are single serve, which makes them perfect for a quick breakfast. Here are step-by-step instructions:

    Step 1: First, add all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 20 – 30 seconds until fully combined. Let the batter sit for 3 – 5 minutes (to thicken).

    Step 2: Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan with nonstick spray.

    Step 3: Next, pour about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1 – 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and firm up. Since oat flour is denser than all-purpose flour, bubbles will not form on the tops of the pancakes. To check if they are ready to flip, gently lift with a spatula to see if bottoms are browning.

    Step 4: Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Don’t overcook them.

    Serve your 3 ingredient protein pancakes immediately with banana slices, fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or honey!

      These pancakes are really good! They were fluffy but also moist and soft. The banana flavor was nice and I liked that they were single serve. I will make these again this week.

      Help – what did I do wrong? My mixture was waaaaaaay too thick, not batter consistency. I think I may also have burned my liquidiser motor out trying to reach this consistency 🙁 I used one large banana, two cup oats. Started with two eggs but added a third in an attempt to reach desired consistency but it hardly made any difference. The end result is hard lumps. I refuse to throw away food so am attempting to eat these regardless. Can’t promise I’ll make my way through them all though…

        Hi! It is 2/3 cups of oats, not 2 cups. The batter should be a “batter” consistency.

      Our very favorite quick and easy pancakes. Anything that we can make in the blender with my toddlers help is always a big hit with them!! They gobble it up every time and I am so grateful to know they are getting nothing but a healthy balanced meal. A million times better than box mix!! Add a scoop of yogurt and some berries and boom! Done and done!
