Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes! Made with simple ingredients, these healthy pancakes are low calorie, high fiber, egg free and have no added sugar. Meal prep them for a healthy breakfast all week long!

Many of my clients have been dieting for so long that they believe healthy foods like bananas are unhealthy and will make them fat. This is not true.

Balancing blood sugar is key to weight loss and managing overall health. That means eating enough protein and fiber and enough calories to prevent extra hunger which leads to increased snacking and increased calories.

Sugar cravings are almost always from eating insufficient protein and fiber on a regular basis. This is something I stress to my weight loss clients.

That doesn’t mean you can never have a banana or that you should never have pancakes with bananas. It means you should always add protein to them and ensure you are getting enough protein and fiber throughout the day. A banana alone is not going to cause weight gain.

How to make banana pancakes

First, make a flax egg by mixing one tablespoon of flax meal with 2 tablespoons of water in a bowl. Flax eggs are a great way to substitute eggs in recipes and they’re high fiber too (I share why fiber is so important in my free weight loss training).

If you don’t have flax meal, you can always substitute an egg. I find the flax does make them a bit fluffier.

Once the flax egg looks like a gel, add it to a food processor or blender with the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Then cook on an electric skillet by scooping 1/4 cup of the batter onto it to form one pancake.

If you’re not using an electric skillet, you really must. It’s a game changer! No greasing or spray pans or sticky eggs.

I do recommend if you’re eating these pancakes for breakfast that you add protein on the side.

They are healthy, but lower in protein and a high protein breakfast is always best for weight management. I talk more about why your breakfast is so important in free weight loss training!
