Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Most mornings we don't have time to make breakfast. Don't think I'm saying you shouldn't eat breakfast because I'm not, but most days we have a shake that we made the night before for breakfast. Shakes are easy and packed with everything you need to get your metabolism going first thing in the morning. I will be sure to share some of our shake recipes here as well but for now....banana oatmeal pancakes!


On the weekends we always try and save time to make a delicious breakfast we can enjoy together. This recipe is one of our favorites, even our 2 year old will eat them, and he's not much of an eater :) These are delicious! An easy and healthy way to start your day!


What you need:


  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats

  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda

  • 1 medium banana, mashed

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup skim milk

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil

Combine dry ingredients. Combine banana and egg, then add milk and oil. Add to dry ingredients. Cook on griddle. Makes about 10 pancakes.


Try these with just a bit of syrup. They have plenty of flavor and texture so you can save yourself a few calories and forgo the butter or have butter and leave off the syrup. Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it!
