Banana Oat Pancakes for an Easy Breakfast

These banana oat pancakes are soft, naturally sweet and easy to prepare with a few everyday ingredients.

Ripe bananas give the batter flavor and moisture, while oats make the pancakes more filling for breakfast or a quick snack.

• 2 large eggs
• 100 g rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon neutral oil, for cooking

How to Make Banana Oat Pancakes

Mash the Bananas

Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl with a fork until mostly smooth. A few small pieces are fine and add texture.

Add Eggs and Oats

Whisk in the eggs, then add the rolled oats, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix until the batter is evenly combined.

Let the Batter Rest

Let the batter sit for 5 minutes so the oats soften slightly. This helps the pancakes hold together better in the pan.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Spoon small portions of batter into the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden.

Helpful Tips

Keep the pancakes small so they are easier to flip. Serve them with banana slices, yogurt, honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Conclusion

Banana oat pancakes are simple, quick and satisfying. They are a practical breakfast recipe when you want something warm without a complicated batter.
