Pin ItThere is nothing better than a big stack of pancakes in the morning. And with this Easy Blender Pancake recipe you can make pancakes every day because they are SO easy and good for you too! All of the ingredients go in the blender and VOILA, you have healthy pancake batter in a matter of minutes.
You will never know these are flourless pancakes because they are so light and fluffy. When you blend the oats in the blender, magic happens, and you end up with the BEST pancake mix.
An extra egg white adds some bonus protein and makes for a fluffier pancake, too! I’ve also included a list of fun pancake toppings to make your morning feel like a little pancake party. Hooray! Let’s make some pancakes!
Ingredients
This is a pantry staple meal, meaning you probably already have these ingredients on hand. No extra trips to the store to make these pancakes. You can whip them up in no time!
- Old fashioned oats (you can use gluten-free too!)
- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any kind of milk you have on hand)
- Banana – (Use the brownest one you have for extra sweetness!)
- Eggs – 1 whole egg and 1 egg white (The extra egg white adds a little more protein and makes the pancakes fluffier!)
- Pure maple syrup (honey works well too)
- Vanilla extract
- Baking powder (check the date and make sure it is fresh)
- Cinnamon
- Salt
How to Make Flourless Pancakes
- Get your blender out! I love this blender and use it almost every day for smoothies. It works great for Blender Pancakes, too!
- Put all of the ingredients in and blend until it’s totally smooth. This should only take 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender.
- Let the pancake mix sit in the blender for about 5 to 10 minutes so the batter can rest and thicken up a bit.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and grease it with nonstick spray or butter. I use about ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake! Pour the batter onto the pan and let it cook until little bubbles form across the top of the pancake. Flip and cook the other side, looking for that perfect pancake golden brown!
- Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm with your favorite toppings!
Keep Pancakes Warm Before Serving
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Place a large baking sheet in the oven, and store pancakes there in a single layer until you’re ready to serve. This is how I get warm pancakes for the whole family at the same time!
Pancake Toppings
Ooh, pancake toppings! I don’t mean to brag, but I’m kind of an expert here. The sky’s the limit on pancake toppings. Of course you can keep it classic with butter and maple syrup, OR you can get a little crazy with…
- Peanut butter (or any kind of nut butter!)
- Jam
- Whipped cream and sprinkles
- Chocolate chips
- Fruit – strawberries, bananas, kiwis, blueberries, raspberries, or peaches…any and all of your favorites!
- Granola
- Nutella
- Coconut flakes
How to Store
If you have leftover pancakes, you can store them in the fridge or freezer. I love having lefotver pancakes on hand for a quick and easy breakfast!
To store, let the pancakes cool completely. Place the pancakes in a container and store in the fridge for up to five days. To freeze the pancakes, place the cooled pancakes in a freezer container or bag and freeze for up to two months. Reheat pancakes and enjoy!

Could you make the batter the night before and store the covered pitcher in the fridge overnight?
Yes!
These were great! Fluffed up so nicely! Sooo delish! And I added 2 tbsp of ground flaxseed to mine. Mmm! Thanks for a great, healthy recipe!
You are welcome! We love these healthy pancakes!
I made these for breakfast this morning and they turned out great! I used unsweetened Almond milk and added flaxseed meal too. I got that idea from the comment above. I also topped the pancakes with some fresh strawberries. =) I’ve been trying to incorporate more flaxseeds to my breakfast meals. Turns out that flaxseeds has a lot of health benefits. aquaapple.com/benefits-of-ground-flaxseed/
Glad you enjoyed the pancakes!
Allergic to bananas. What would be a good substitute?
Can you tell me if the Nutritional Information is for the whole batch? Or if per serving, how many pancakes per serving? Thank you.
Per serving and the recipe serves 6, but that is an estimate. It depends how big you make your pancakes.
Half of my family does not like bananas. What if anything can I substitute for the banana? I promise they can tell if there is banana in anything!!!
You really can’t taste the banana:) But you could try applesauce?
Could you make these with applesauce instead of bananas?
I decided to sub a very ripe avocado For the banana. (Banana allergy) Seemed to work perfectly. I Couldnโt taste the avocado. I was afraid applesauce would be too much liquid. Will definitely make again.
I haven’t tried it, but it should be ok. If the batter is a little thin, add a little more oats because applesauce is thinner than mashed banana.
Do these freeze well?
Yes! I love keeping a stash in the freezer!
Do you think this would work in a food processor with dairy milk?
Yes, that should be fine! Enjoy the pancakes!
I don’t usually do reviews, but this recipe passed the rigorous testing of my “Food Inspector” (aka my youngest son) with flying colors. Pancakes fluffed up perfectly and were so delicious!
Yay, I am so glad he approved! Thanks for sharing!
I made them on Sunday morning and my boys wanted them again on Monday! Theyโre easy and delicious and I love that theyโre made with oats rather than flour. Thanks for the great recipe! This will be a go-to for a healthy and quick breakfast.
I am glad your boys loved the pancakes. Our boys love them too!
Donโt typically eat pancakes due to all the flour and butter. These are a great alternative And really good. Making them right now! Thanks!
Enjoy! We love them!
I decided to sub a very ripe avocado For the banana. Seemed to work perfectly. I Couldnโt taste the avocado. I was afraid applesauce would be too much liquid. Will definitely make again.
Good to know! Glad avocado worked well for you!

Delicious! What brand is your griddle? Mine has uneven heating which results in spotty browning of pancakes. Thanks for sharing!
We have this one: https://bit.ly/3cDGWBR
Can you use quick oats?
I haven’t tried it, but if that is what you have, I am sure it would be fine.
Hi Maria – Excited to make these. Just curious, do you have a brand of oats that you like? Thanks!
Bob’s Red Mill or Trader Joe’s, but use your favorite! Any old fashioned oats will do!
Hi! 2 things – 1) can you use steal cut oats 2) can these be made as waffles?
Thanks! Love your recipes!!
I haven’t tried steel cut oats. You can make waffles.
Oh wow!! These were amazing! This recipe will definitely be in my rotation. So moist! The only suggestion I would have is to maybe eliminate the 2 tbl of syrup/honey. Thank you, Maria!!
These are amazing Maria! My 14 year old twins both don’t care for oatmeal in any form but I’m always trying to get them to eat it so you know I’m so happy I can sneak it in! They were delicious…the perfect amount of sweet and fluffy. I also LOVE the fact everything is blended in one container. Makes making scratch pancakes so much easier! I made a second batch subing the maple syrup for coconut sugar and they were fabulous! I think I will add ground flax seeds next batch as well. It is so helpful to have lots of freezer breakfast options as we distance learn….such a winner!!
My boys love these too!
Maria, canโt thank you enough! I am GF and DF and these were the answer. Amazing recipe, easy to whip up and generate smiles. One question – can I be even more efficient and bake them?? Sheet pan?? Grateful for your ideas and thought.
I am so glad you loved the pancakes. I haven’t tried baking them. Let me know if you try it!
These pancakes are delicious treat! I subbed 1/2 avocado since I didn’t have bananas on hand. Next time I might add a little more almond milk to make the blending easier. They are by far the best pancakes I’ve ever made!
Glad you think they are the best! YAY!
A new treat for the New Year 2021!! This is an amazing, fun recipe with AWESOME FLAVOR.
I am impressed My kiddos are super picky. I am always trying to find healthier recipes that they might like and I just found one. These pancakes are great and filling! Everyone specialized their pancakes and ate every bite. Thank you Maria
You are welcome! My boys always clean their plate:)
These pancakes are so easy to whip up and a lot healthier than preboxed pancakes, even my boyfriend enjoys them! Iโve made them several times and they turn out delicious every time!
This are so delicious! My family loved them. I have a quick question, can the banana be substituted or omitted? My dad wants to try them, but canโt eat bananas. Thanks!!
I am so glad you liked the pancakes. The bananas add sweetness and moisture to the pancakes. You can try applesauce instead, but I haven’t tried it.
Super easy and filling breakfast.
Glad you loved the panccakes!
Hi could I add pumpkin puree to this recipe and if so, how much would you recommend?
I called these “oatmeal cookie” pancakes to get my kids to try them. lol. They actually really liked them and finished them up! So exciting. My little guy said he doesn’t like banana in pancakes (even though he ate every last bite) so I may try pureed pumpkin next time. My oldest said he like this better than regular pancakes. <3. Thank you for this recipe!! So easy.
Just had these for dinner! A winner all around. It is now in the rotation! Thanks for a great dairy/gluten free recipe!
These were delicious! Such an easy gluten free recipe made with simple ingredients.
We love these pancakes and every one of my kids eats them without complaint! Winner! Do you know where your speckled cup is from with the syrup in it (in the picture with the syrup being poured)? I have some things that would match that so Iโd love to get one if you could link it! ๐
I don’t have a source, I am so sorry.
I am not a huge fan of oatmeal as a cereal or really any cereal but love oatmeal in baked goods, bars as a topping etc. so I just had to try it as pancakes. Love them! Thanks for the recipe. Made a Tahini/maple syrup/lemon + water syrup and poured it over one with fruit on top and the other with eggs and veggies on top.
Very hard to tell which topping I liked better on top of these glorious pancakes. Both ways were excellent.
I am glad you loved the pancakes. They are a staple at our house.
Love these pancakes! I have some steel cut oats and my kids donโt really love oatmeal with steel cut oats so Iโm looking for other ways to use them upโฆdo you think these would work with steel cut oats?
I haven’t tried then with steel cut oats, they will have a different texture and might be harder to grind up.
These are delicious!! Easy to make and I love the ingredients.
So simple and delicious!
These are SO good! I love the clean ingredients. I have a batch currently in my freezer. Easy, delicious.
I love keeping a stash in the freezer.
Love these pancakes, itโs like eating banana bread! They have the right amount of sweetness for me so I didnโt need to add anymore syrup. This recipe is a keeper! Iโm curious if the recipe would work with quick oats too, I think Iโll give it a try. Thank you!
Yes, you can use quick oats. So glad you love the pancakes!
