Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
Here’s an Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes recipe which you can dress them up any way you want. It is a guest favorite at Skyterra Wellness Retreat, which uses a blender to mix the batter – this helps the pancakes maintain that delicious fluffy texture of a traditional pancake made with white flour. This recipe provides potassium and dietary fiber, and is both dairy-free and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk - unsweetened
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 whole egg white
- 1-2 medium bananas - ripe enough to blend easily
- 2 tablespoons 100% pure Maple Syrup
- 1.5 cups rolled oats - gluten free
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil - approximate -- PER PANCAKE - to prepare
To serve
- 4 oz Greek style yogurt
- 4 oz fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except for coconut oil and toppings) into blender and puree until smooth.
- Heat skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. of coconut oil to pan. Allow it to melt and spread over the pan evenly.
- Pour pancake batter into pan. (We usually do smaller pancakes, two at a time – it's easier to manage).
- Note: If you like your blueberries cooked in the pancake, add a few berries to the batter once you've poured the batter into the pan. Don't add the berries to the blender!
- Cook 2-3 minutes and flip. Cook another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Once pancakes are evenly browned, remove them from heat and set aside until serving. Continue until you've gone through all the batter.
- Top with a dollop of yogurt and berries, if desired. Serve with a protein and greens as part of a complete breakfast. Once you get familiar with the matter, feel free to experiment with add-ins like other spices or berries.

Great recipe! Easy to convert to vegan with egg substitute.
We found we didn’t need that much coconut oil to prepare the skillet or griddle. Instead, we used a copper non-stick griddle with just a light spray of aerosol coconut oil, and that worked quite well. Very tasty.
