Oatmeal Blender Pancakes Recipe

These Oatmeal Blender Pancakes are a wholesome and quick breakfast option, made with simple ingredients and blended to perfection. They’re naturally gluten-free (if using certified gluten-free oats) and customizable with your favorite toppings!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 large ripe banana (or ¼ cup applesauce for a substitute)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar)

Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

  1. Add all the ingredients to a blender: oats, banana, egg, milk, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slightly thick (about 30–60 seconds). Scrape down the sides if necessary.

Step 2: Rest the Batter

  1. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter, oil, or cooking spray.
  2. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, nut butter, or yogurt.

Tips for Success

  • Consistent Texture: If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it slightly.
  • Blender-Friendly: Use a high-powered blender to ensure the oats break down completely for a smooth batter.
  • Make Ahead: Blend the batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Stir before cooking.

Variations

  • Berry Pancakes: Fold fresh or frozen berries into the batter before cooking.
  • Chocolate Chip Treats: Add mini chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
  • Protein Boost: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the blender.

These fluffy, nutritious pancakes are a great way to start your day with whole grains and natural sweetness!
