Today I’m sharing the very best recipe for how to make banana oat pancakes! They’re vegan, gluten-free, 1-bowl, and don’t require a blender!

I love these banana oat pancakes because they are healthy, fluffy and naturally sweetened using coconut sugar. So you can feel good eating a pile of pancakes for breakfast.

Certainly this isn’t my first stab at delicious vegan breakfast pancakes. But, what I love most about this recipe is just how easy they are to make. This vegan pancake recipe is totally fuss free – all you need is a bowl.

Simply toss the ingredients in a mixing bowl (It’s a base of oats, chia seeds, mashed banana, almond milk and coconut sugar). Mix to combine and cook on a frying pan. Next thing you know you’ve got warm and chubby banana oat pancakes that everyone will love, whether you’re sharing with kids or adults.

Serve with fresh chopped bananas, cacao nibs or chocolate chips. I personally love to serve them with coconut yogurt, banana and my 10-Minute Raspberry Chia Jam.

Now, let me tell you exactly how to make these Vegan Banana Oat Pancakes so you can enjoy them pronto!

The ingredients:

The ingredients for making these Banana Oat Pancakes are simple and straight forward, and likely you already have them in your pantry. For this recipe you will need,

• Bananas: mashed into this recipe, bananas add natural sweetness and act as a binder!
• Chia seeds: a simple seed and another binder in this recipe. The chia seeds help to hold together the pancakes for easy frying.
• Oat flour: This recipe uses oat flour for delicious oatmeal banana pancakes. I first recipe tested this with rolled oats, which was delicious but very textured. The oat flour adds a smoother texture that’s more consistent with tradiitonal pancakes even though we’re using oats.
• Almond milk: I’ve used almond milk in this recipe but any plant-milk will do. I prefer almond milk because it doesn’t alter the flavour very much and allows the banana flavour to really take center stage.
• Coconut sugar: Adds sweetness to these pancakes. I recipe tested with and without and both are delicious. I prefer a sweetener pancake, so would recommend adding this ingredient.
