Oatmeal Pancakes (Without Banana) Recipe

These Oatmeal Pancakes (Without Banana) are thick, fluffy blender pancakes made with hearty oats instead of flour. They’re naturally sweetened, packed with fiber and protein, and perfect for a cozy, satisfying breakfast any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Pancakes:
  • 1½ cups (135 g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (dairy, oat, or almond)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
  • 23 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp fine salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For cooking:
  • Butter or oil for the pan
  • To serve:
  • Maple syrup
  • Fresh berries or sliced fruit
  • Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  • 1. Add the rolled oats to a blender and blend on high until they turn into a fine oat flour.
  • 2. Pour in the milk, eggs, melted butter or oil, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Blend just until you have a smooth, pourable batter, scraping down the sides if needed. Let the batter rest 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • 3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • 4. Pour the batter into the pan in small rounds, about ¼ cup per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  • 5. Adjust the heat as needed so the pancakes brown slowly and cook through without burning. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches as needed.
  • 6. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt if you like.

Notes

  • Blending the oats into flour gives the pancakes a fluffy texture without any wheat flour.
  • Letting the batter rest a few minutes thickens it as the oats hydrate, which helps the pancakes hold their shape.
  • Use a medium heat so the pancakes cook through before the outside gets too dark.
  • For extra protein, swap some milk for Greek yogurt or add a scoop of vanilla protein powder, thinning the batter with a splash more milk if needed.
  • Leftover pancakes freeze well; reheat in a toaster or skillet for a quick breakfast.
