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.

Healthy Banana Oat Pancakes

These oatmeal banana pancakes are a fantastic low-calorie pancake recipe and they are so simple to make!

Made with a handful of ingredients, these healthy pancakes are fluffy and delicious! They're high fiber from the flax and oats and have no added sugar. Bananas are great substitutes for real sugar.

Naturally low in calories and a breeze to make! I like freezing a batch along with my pancakes with coconut flour, delicious low fat pancakes, or chocolate chip banana pancakes!

What You Need

  • Gluten Free Oats or Gluten Free Oat Flour
  • Banana
  • Milk
  • Coconut Oil

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!

    Perfect! These might be the best pancakes I've ever made (and I've made a LOT)! I made 2 batches (made 19 pancakes), and I used eggs and low-fat high-protein dairy milk. There was a noticeable banana flavour so be warned haha. They were simply delicious!! Definitely making again.

    I am vegan, but my husband is not. He recently had bariatric surgery however and is not supposed to have flour or sugar. But he's been craving pancakes. Trying to find a vegan, bariatric friendly recipe is interesting. These fit perfectly. And they turned out beautifully.

    These are perfect! My lil one is gobbling it down. He always struggled his way through the wheat flour and sugar ones. I would always find it lying around somewhere on the floor haha! Thank you.

    We made these this morning for breakfast and the whole family loved them. I also love that they are baby friendly. My daughter is just starting solid foods and we were even able to share some with her as well!
