You only need 3 ingredients (banana, eggs and oats) to make these healthy, banana pancakes. EASY, kid-friendly and perfect for using up bananas.
Add a spoonful of peanut butter and a pinch of cinnamon to take these to the next level. These pancakes taste like a treat, but are full of wholesome ingredients!
Banana Egg Oat Pancakes are a go-to breakfast recipe that everyone should have in their back pockets!
If you’re not familiar with banana-egg pancakes, these aren’t just any pancakes. They are made completely of mashed, ripe bananas, eggs and oats.
Just 3 ingredients! Making them an easy, healthy breakfast. I love serving them to my kids, but I also like to make these as a post-workout breakfast for myself. They are full of protein and naturally sweetened with the banana.
I add a pinch of cinnamon, a spoonful of peanut butter and sometimes a sprinkling of chocolate chips for extra deliciousness.
3-Ingredient Banana Egg Oat Pancakes
These pancakes couldn’t be easier to make! They are perfect for busy mornings or anytime you have bananas to use up.
1. First start by mashing the banana….
2. Then add the eggs, oats and a pinch of salt and cinnamon. 
3. Whisk everything together until smooth.
4. Add a dollop of peanut butter if you like and swirl it into the batter!
5. Cook in a nonstick skillet in a little butter over medium heat for about 2 minutes, until set. You’ll want to make sure the heat isn’t too high so they don’t burn. (Add a few chocolate chips if you like!)
6. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the second side. ENJOY!
Tips for Making Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
My all-time favorite non-stick is this small scanpan. I use it every single day and it’s the perfect size for making these pancakes!
Keep the heat on medium or medium/low when cooking these. If the heat is too high the pancakes will get too brown before the cook all the way through. This is because of the eggs.
You can skip the peanut butter if you want to keep these nut-free. You can also use almond, cashew, or sunbutter. Maybe even a little Nutella if you dare!
I like using GF Harvest Gluten-Free Oats to keep these gluten-free. You can use regular rolled oats or quick oats. Either kind works great.

tried this in the blender with 1/3 c oats, added a dash of vanilla, and made sure the pan was hot and oiled before putting in the batter. SO much better. My previous attempt at following the recipe without blending was far too soggy, and the texture was unappetizing. Do it the first way and be wowed!
Veronika Juhasova says
Fantastic and so quick! Love it
GARY R LAPOHN says
I made these in the blender and added a little almond milk to get a good consistency in the batter. Very good – I will make these again. Done with store bought mixes ! Thank You
Liz says
Thanks for the great recipe! Tasty, healthy and easy! I like them with plain yogurt and fruit on top. Leftovers make a great snack toasted and spread with nut butter.
. Eno Edem says
Have to be honest the first time I made these I was stupid and put 1/2 cup of oats instead of a 1/4 and they turned out really really bad I only realised my mistake half way through cooking. However I just made them this morning for brekkie (eating them right now) and they are DELICIOUS. I added some extra sugar to the batter because I have a sweet tooth:) Blended everything up and added some choco chips. Love this recipe so much, will be using it a lot in the future!!
Meaghan says
I love this recipe! I can’t use a blender because everyone in my household usually sleeps in, so I’m glad it didn’t require a blender! I had mine with maples walnuts, which I recommend!
Peta says
These were delicious!! I have to ask though- I put the ingredients into my calorie tracker and it totalled around 450cals? It says a spoonful of nut butter…. I used a tablespoon?
Emilie says
Made these today topped with some berries and a drizzle of honey……. soooooo good.
Delsi says
I love these. Thank you Erin. I make them a couple times every week.. Although they are very easy to make, I am VERY lazy in the morning so I often make the batter them the night before, The banana probably do go brown but since they have plenty of cinnamon in them, they’re brown anyway. so I haven’t noticed. I also make extra pancakes and freeze them for really lazy mornings, then I just pop them in the my toaster twice on low stetting. Sometimes I make them sweeter (add a date or honey to the batter) to avoid pouring syrup on top (which I tend to overuse). They are Delicious no matter how I do them!!! Thank you
Erin Collins says
I’m so happy you like the recipe! Great idea with making them in advance. Thanks for the comment! 🙂
Lara says
Should the oats be blended?
Erin Collins says
No the oats don’t need to be blended!
Angel koh says
I love this recipe!! I love the fact that I didn’t have to use any baking powder:)
It taste abit more on the eggy side but I don’t mind at all bcus I love eggs anyway, thank you!
Jess says
I am SO impressed with these!! So good and so easy, literally only took a couple minutes from start to finish. Forgot the nut butter, but added chocolate chips… yum
Gemma says
Hi can you make them the night before and have the next day?Also can u freeze them once cooked? thanks you
Erin Collins says
I don’t think making these in advance would work! The banana would brown too much. They also don’t freeze well. Sorry about that!
MARIA SERRANO says
What is the serving size
Erin Collins says
This recipe will serve 1-2 people!
Carter says
Hi. Does per serving mean a piece or the whole recipe itself?
Erin Collins says
Hi! I just updated the nutrition information – the whole recipe is usually 1 serving for me. So the nutrition facts reflect the whole recipe.
Mariana says
Love them!
WillGrant says
I am exploring healthier cooking and this source is a hotbed of recipes, suggestions, ideas AND explanations; very glad I found it and recommend it!! Top shelf stuff!
Caroline Allan says
I really enjoyed these, it says serves 4? Wasn’t quite enough for our breakfast! Serves 4 is probably for a dessert maybe? Is that right?
Sophie from London says
I was only making for one (me *licks lips*) so used one egg, 1/2 cup oats, 50ml soya milk and 2tbsp of maple syrup and a bit of baking powder as someone else suggested and made 4. They were really tasty, looked a bit burned as I used very minimal oil (few sprays of 1kcal) but the proof of the pudding was in the eating. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Sylvia L Breland says
First time making these and they are delicious! I added a little organic creamy peanut butter.
Brittany says
Sweet, thick and fast! I used 4 bananas, 4 eggs, 1/2 C oats and added pea protein powder and a lititle cinnamon with vanilla extract. My husband, 7-year-old, and 8 month old love them! I didn’t even need to add maple syrup to mine.
Thanks for the quick and yummy recipe!
God bless!
Erin Collins says
I’m so glad they turned out for you! 🙂
Dan says
Can you freeze them with banana in them?
Daisy Benson says
I love the idea of putting a nut butter into the pancakes…but I must say I found the pancakes to be a bit too eggy for my taste :/
Stefana Romany says
These are delicious and super quick to make. The only change I made was adding all ingredients to my blender, rather than hand mixing. I find it makes for a smoother batter 🙂
Also, as a topping, I mix a little peanut butter and maple syrup and warm it up in the microwave till it’s easy to pour. Super filling breakfast!
Ken L Meidinger says
I just made these and I love them.
Mia says
How many pancakes is one serving size?
Steph T says
Great go to, easy recipe! We enjoyed these for breakfast this morning!
melanie allan says
These were delicious, thank you! I had to make 3 batches as the kids loved them! I added chia seeds to the last batch which worked really well too.
Jen says
Hello I made these this morning. I loved them but I can’t find the serving size to this recipe. Any help please?
Janja says
Have to admit i was skeptical at first, because the recipe looked too easy to be good. But the pancakes were great (amazing even) and will be on a menu in the future as well. Made some minor changes to it and I added ground ginger and nutmeg besides cinnamon as well. Also the peanut butter that i used was a chunky one and it added a nice texture. In any case thank you for the recipe.
Emilia says
Is it 102cals per pancake or for the whole batter.
Charmie says
Perfect! Cooked slow on low. The wait was well worth it! Thank you!
Lani says
5 stars. So quick, easy to make & filling! I ate 2 & could barely bring myself to eat the 3rd
Caprice says
Soo good! Loved them! Thank you ❤️
Victoria R. says
Yum Yum! Thanks so much for this recipe, I try it and loved it i also used Maple Peanut butter and it taste Amazing. Thank you Lots 🙂
Pamela says
Just made these and they were absolutely delicious. I didn’t have cinnamon, and all we had was chunky peanut butter but they were still delicious! I’m breast feeding so I wanted to incorporate oatmeal in as many meals as possible to help my production. This was perfect!
Thank you!
Erin Collins says
These are great for nursing mamas! I’m so glad you like them 🙂
Heena Gupta says
Can I use steel cut oats to make these pancakes please?
Erin Collins says
Unfortunately that won’t work unless they are already cooked!
Tara says
There’s a good reason this is the top google result. Quick and delicious!
Erin Collins says
Thanks for the comment! 🙂
Marie says
Love these what is considered a serving? I make these in my Dash waffle maker love them! Thank you!
Karen says
I loved the taste but my natyer was too wet and my pancakws feel apart. How do I prevent this from happening
Lisa says
I had the same issue, I’m going to try running my oats through a food processor first and adding more oats, as another person suggested. Also, making lots of small cookie sized pancakes.
Barb says
I’m excited to try I have celiac & dairy issues
Erin Collins says
I hope you enjoy them! 🙂
KJ says
I doubled plus a bit more oats, ground turn up in the blender, then added the rest. Makes the pancakes thicker, great recipe!
Darlene Aitchison says
How many pancakes would this recipe make?
Erin Collins says
Probably 3-6 pancakes depending on the size!
Elaine says
I made this twice so far, made a few modifications this morning; doubled the oats, added 100ml of soy milk, 1/4 tsp of baking soda and 2 tbsp of maple syrup. I served them with cocoa peanut butter, sliced banana and maple syrup and they were delicious, all clean plates Thanks so much for this recipe
Mary Kowalski says
Is a serving size one pancake or 3? The 823 mg of sodium in the nutritional info sounds high for a pinch of salt. Oats are generally low in sodium(especially if only using 1/4 cup).
Lori says
My favorite pancake recipe! I also like to add a dash of vanilla and ground flax seed for extra nutrients. The flax adds a nutty flavor to the pancakes.
Tricia R says
Super great way to use up some bananas this morning! My toddler loved them! Thanks for the recipe
Madison says
These are so good! I love how easy they are to make. Perfect, quick, filling breakfast.
Momma Paleo says
Very Yummy and my whole family loved them. Will make them again and again!
Catherine Derochie says
My pancakes always seem to burn as soon as I put them on the pan even at a low medium heat. Any suggestions?
Gaby says
Can you use salted almond butter ? Looks delicious by the way .
Erin Collins says
Yes! I just wouldn’t add any additional salt. Hope you like them!
Kristen Wonder says
Yum!! I just made these and they were AMAZING! These are definitely going to be a staple in my house. Thank you for the awesome recipe.
Laurel says
