How to Make Banana Pancakes using a blender

So here’s the thing. I first intended this recipe to use whole grain flour but when I tested both batches I ultimately wound up loving the oatmeal version way better.

So you’ll need a blender for this recipe but it’s super easy – Toss everything in the blender together, pulse it a few times until the batter is smooth and you’re good to go.

Now you don’t have to worry about mashing the bananas separately and whisking various ingredients in at separate times.

Using whole grain flour vs. oats

• You can use whole wheat white flour if you don’t have a blender. You’ll need less flour though compared to if you were using oats. Personally I preferred the oat version better because I like the oatmeal-like texture.
• If using flour you can whisk everything by hand and you don’t necessarily need a blender. You can just mash the bananas by hand or use an immersion blender.

Basically my over-analytical self couldn’t decide which version would be best so I tested both for you.

Once all of your oatmeal banana pancakes are ready, I’d highly recommend layering them with thinly sliced bananas and peanut butter drizzle for a gourmet stack.

NOW breakfast is served.

Storing leftover pancakes

I like to let the pancakes cool on a rack, then lay them flat in a silicone bag (like Stasher) or in a glass container. Store in fridge and use the next day, or in freezer for about 2 weeks for best taste and texture.
