Early this morning, I came across a recipe for pancakes that had just three ingredients: banana, oats, and eggs. Whaaaaaaaaatttt you can do that?! Make pancakes with just bananas, oats, and eggs?! Noooo wayyy!!
Yes way. I know. Mind. BLOWN. So I whirred together a batch this morning. It took all of 10 minutes from whir to belly. I can’t say they’re my favorite, but they grew on me, sort of like how I learned to appreciate whole grain bread vs. white bread. There’s definitely a lot more texture in it, thanks to the oats. The sweetness from the bananas was subtle, so I hit it with some maple syrup afterward, which probably cut the health factor significantly. I have to say, though, I’m feeling pretty good about myself. Those are three ingredients I don’t feel guilty about at all, and would feel downright awesome about feeding my kids for breakfast someday.
What an easy way to get a balanced diet into my belly for a nutritious way to start the day! Overall, I think this is one to keep in my pocket for future breakfasts when I’m feeling extra crunchy.

Simple Banana and Oat Pancakes

Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp butter
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend banana, eggs, and oats until smooth.
- Spoon into skillet to make pancakes about 3″ in diameter, as the batter is quite runny and will not flip well if you make it much bigger.

Adding about 1 T. chia seeds to the mix and letting rest a few minutes before cooking would thicken up the batter nicely. = )
Oooh good idea! Will try next time we have chia seeds on hand!
