3 Ingredient Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes
These oatmeal pancakes are easy to make and healthier than regular pancakes. They don't contain any wheat flour, added sugar, milk, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed (see note)
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tbsp (42 g) oat flour
- 1 tsp (4.7 g) baking powder, (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a medium bowl. Whisk until everything is evenly combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet to medium heat. Once skillet is heated, pour 3 tbsp (44ml) of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface and begin to pop. Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for a few more minutes until they are cooked on both sides. Serve with your favorite toppings or syrups.
Notes
- Mash bananas with a whisk until they are well mashed and only small lumps remain.
- My bananas weighed 88 grams each without the peel.
- Baking powder is optional but it will make the pancakes puff up higher. The pancakes in the photos are made with baking powder. Without baking powder, the pancakes will be thinner but they will taste about the same.
- I found that 3 tbsp of batter (44 ml) is the ideal amount. If you add too much batter, it makes it harder to flip the pancakes.
- I recommend a cooking spatula with a very thin edge (like a cookie spatula but a bigger version). This helps slide under the pancake easier without damaging them.
- This recipe works best with a nonstick skillet. I did not add any oil to mine. I found that this helps to create an even medium golden brown on the pancakes. If you are having issues with your pancakes sticking, you can use oil or a cooking oil spray, but the pancakes will not brown as evenly.
- If you don't have oat flour, you can make your own by processing oats in a food processor or high-powered blender until they resemble the consistency of flour.
- Estimated nutrition does not include optional baking powder.
