I have a confession to make…
I love breakfast.
My poor husband gets stuck with a breakfast dinner almost once a week and if I had time I’d make a big breakfast every morning. Last night we had these yummy banana pancakes for dinner and I just had to share the recipe. It is a super easy throw-in-the-blender recipe, is very filling, and I love that it gives me another way to use overly ripe bananas.
I originally found this recipe in fitness magazine and just edited it to fit our unprocessed goals.
Whole Wheat Banana-Oatmeal Pancakes
{makes about 18 – 4″ pancakes}
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups soy or skim milk
1 cup rolled oats
2 bananas chopped
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions:
In a blender, puree milk and oats until smooth. Add bananas, flour, baking powder and salt and puree a few seconds more. Letter batter rest 10 minutes.
Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Mist with nonstick cooking spray, then scoop batter into the pan in about 1/4 cup increments. Reduce heat to medium low and cook pancakes until air bubbles appear and underside is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook about 5 minutes more. *Top with sliced bananas, walnuts, and pure maple syrup.
YUM!
YUM!

these sound really good but I am allergic to wheat flour would white flour bump the calories up too much?
1/2 cup white flour has 25 more calories than 1/2 cup of wheat flour. So, by the time you break it down into individual pancakes, they’d only go up by a calorie or two a piece. Plus, with the oats, you’d still be getting some good whole grain. 🙂
ok great thanks! I can’t wait to try them out tomorrow!
So these freeze well?
Yes! I just stack them in gallon ziplock bags and then put them right in the freezer. Then I just grab as many as I need and warm them in the toaster in the morning.
