I am going bananas over this recipe! I don’t know if it’s all that banana that is included, but it is just yum! Also, it’s the mere fact that you don’t have to go out of your way to buy pancake mix just to make pancakes. You can absolutely make it from scratch with simple ingredients you have on hand, with the expectation that it will come out just as good or even better.

I can tell you this, it is the best of both worlds. You’re having breakfast that is enticing and is the favorite of many, and you’re having it the healthy way. These days, it’s all about healthy living which entails eating healthy. So why not switch it up a bit and toss in some healthy stuff into your very own homemade pancakes? Banana is my top choice as it adds a tad bit of sweetness and added flavoring.

Banana is known to be one of the most popular fruits in the world. It is rich in potassium, fiber, vitamin b6 and several other nutrients. These nutrients help to moderate blood sugar levels, support heart health and also digestion. Bananas can be eaten when they are unripe as well as when they are ripe. Unripe bananas are normally consumed by cooking them first. A person may receive different health benefits from either eating it ripe or unripe.

A fully ripe banana is yellow in color which sometimes has brown spots on the skin, and is sweet in taste. It’s now a preferred option in using it as a natural sweetener for smoothies, shakes, vegan or sugar-free cakes and so much more. And guess what? They make lovely pancakes too.
Remember I said these are healthy pancakes? The great thing about this recipe is that it does not contain flour. Along with the banana, we use oats to allow the batter to come together nicely. Any kind of oats will do just fine.

Oats are whole grains and are known for their great source of fiber. It is said to be one of the world’s healthiest grains which also contains many vitamins and minerals. It plays a major role in lowering cholesterol levels, reducing blood sugar levels, supporting heart health and many other benefits.

I have got to say the coolest part of making this recipe is by whipping it up in a blender. Ever since I started making pancakes with the use of a blender, I don’t think I ever revert to stirring it by hand. I call it the upgraded method of making pancakes. I mean, it’s way quicker and there is less mess to deal with.
