Vegan Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

There are three basic questions that six year olds ask each other when they meet a new friend…one is “What is your favourite colour?”…another is “What’s your favourite animal?”…and the last is the most important…”What is your favourite food?”
Well, I still enjoying asking people what food they enjoy the most…but if someone were to ask me, my first reply would be chocolate. My second answer would be…pancakes! I love pancakes to the moon and back. I wish we could have them every second day for dinner…gaaah, they’re just so flipping good (yes, that was almost a pun)!
Here’s one of my favourite pancake recipes. Because of the bananas in the batter you don’t need any sweetener, so it’s sugarless! It also happens to be vegan…and it is really low in calories, but don’t worry, what is sacrificed in calories is not traded off for flavour! In my mind, this equals the perfect pancake.
Vegan Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
- 1 ¼ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup organic whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. sea salt
- 1 ½ cups soymilk*
- 2 ripe bananas
*or a dairy-free milk
Blend all the ingredients in a blender, except the bananas. Now add the bananas and continue to blend (in blender) until the bananas are smooth. Pour onto a hot griddle (with olive oil for a cooking spray) and cook. Once the pancake bubbles on one side, it’s time to flip it to the other. This makes a dozen, medium-sized pancakes, serving 4 people.
I love these pancakes with a little bit of peanut butter with real maple syrup…these pancakes are very fluffy and it tastes like a giant marshmallow AND it’s healthy! Soooo good. Okay, I need to stop drooling on the keyboard.
You know what’s weird though? I do not like waffles…in fact, they are one food I really, really don’t like. Isn’t that strange? It’s not really the taste, it’s the texture of all those little squares…I don’t know…maybe I’ve just never had the perfect waffle.

These vegan pancakes look so nice and fluffy – and I love that there’s no added sugar!
You got such great height with these vegan pancakes! Impressive! :D
i’m with you…i’ve never cared for waffles :P ha maybe it IS the texture after all =)
Beautiful pancakes! I’ve never made vegan pancakes but hey seem easy enough. I will give them a try.
Cheers!
I love pancakes! I like waffles but they require more clean-up than the griddle cakes :) GREAT photos, these look delish!!!
Chocolate is my first fav as well, i adore pancakes on sunday and your looks just right on spot wonderful! thanks for stopping by my blog and for ur words or appreciation!!
How awesome is that?!
Turns out I eat a banana and oatmeal every day for breakfast. In fact, I just finished the banana and am staring at the bowl of oatmeal. Looks like I get to try something new tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing!
Those look awesome! You come up with the mose amazing recipes – where do you get all that creativity?! :) Maybe I’ll try them this week. Great photography too…
These were great! I made them for a bunch of people for breakfast and many people asked for the recipe. I added toasted walnuts & chocolate chips to the pancakes when they were on the griddle. I even made them a second time the next day but added an extra tsp. of baking powder which I think helped them be a bit fluffier. I love how healthy these are! thanks!
These are so good! We have pancakes every Sunday night and I like to try different recipes. My boys all gobbled these up and I loved the intense banana flavor!
These pancakes look absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try them! Last weekend we made vegan panacakes with chocolate sauce and banana slices. http://bitofthegoodstuff.com/recipes/vegan-pancakes-with-chocolate-sauce-and-banana-slices/ My son loved them and couldn’t believe that they were actually super healthy! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe xx
I made this recipe today! Delish! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Wow! These were delicious. I substituted sea salt with regular salt since I didn’t have any. & I only had “quick” oats so I used those as well. They turned out great! I halved the recipe as it was only for me and had half for dinner last night and the rest of the batter this morning for breakfast. I used syrup last night and they were really good. This morning however I went crazy and put chocolate chips in them and topped them with peanut butter. WINNER! I loved loved loved these! This is going to be my go to pancake recipe! It’s good for you too — kinda unreal. Thank you so much!
Thanks all…SO glad you enjoyed them! They’re definitely my favourite pancake recipe! :)
I needed a recipe that used only 2 over-ripe bananas and had this one saved in my favorites, so I tried it for breakfast this morning and they turned out AWESOME!!! I’m a pancake fanatic so these are definately going to be a keeper :)
I love waffles, but pancakes win my heart! Ha and I think that is mostly because it is such a pain to clean my waffle maker. & as for toppings, I usually stick to Earth Balance with maple syrup and fruit :)
Thanks for the recipe!
Seriously delicious!
I am bookmarking this and making them TONIGHT! Wow!
my daughter and I are vegan and have pancakes every sunday for breakfast and I have tried EVERY recipe out there and none of them are just right, but these were AWESOME! I added a little bit more(3/4c) whole wheat flour b/c they were pretty runny and thin first go round but otherwise these are our new favorite pancakes! can’t wait to make them for my family visiting over the holidays!
These were my favorite pancakes I have ever made! Topped with some strawberry jam and syrup… YUM!
I love these pancakes …. I have a similar recipe …. to which I add 2 tablespoons of Canola Oil .
Good Work
I just made these. I love them! Very tasty. I made blackberry sauce for them, but I like them so much plain that the sauce might have to wait.
Vegan pancakes! Look delicious!!! One of my children has a milk allergy, so I’m glad to see soy milk in the ingredients. Thank you for posting. Will have to try these!! xx
These pancakes saved my christmas! I was put on an elimination diet a month ago excluding dairy, soy, eggs, nuts and so on due to suspected food intollerances in my now 8 week old daughter. These are so yummy and quick to make (i just swapped the soy for oat milk).

Hi! I recently went vegan and had a bunch of oats and bananas on hand. I also felt like having pancakes for dinner last night. Finding this recipe was perfection. Not to mention they were delicious and exactly what I wanted. Definitely put me in a banana pancake coma without the guilt. :)

I just made these tonight and subbed buckwheat flour for the whole wheat to make them gluten free. They were delish…and so easy!
These pancakes were great! Best texture vegan pancakes I’ve made. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Would I be able to use regular salt if I don’t have sea salt. I love to make pancakes, I am excited to make these one morning!
Jennifer~ Of course! Any salt works! :)
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, it’s so easy to make and yet they’re the best vegan pancakes I’ve ever had! I have been making them every weekend for my husband and I :)
They look absolutely delicious. I tried the recipe but the pancakes don’t cook enough, even if a cooked them in low temperature for a long time they turn out raw on the inside :( I’m so disappointed… what do you think i’m doing wrong????
Maggie~ I cook mine at about medium heat. I’d say cook them on a higher heat, thin the batter with more liquid, and make smaller, thinner pancakes. Hope that helps!
Thank you! I’m gonna try that :) Hope it works!
Can I use almond meal instead of the whole wheat flour? Or what about rice flour?
Nicole~ I’ve had lots of readers use alternative flours…I haven’t tried it, but I’ve heard good results from them! I’ve heard that buckwheat flour (which is gluten free) works great….I don’t really see almond meal giving it a light, fluffy texture (so I’d say no to that one)…
