My favorite way to have homemade pancakes on busy mornings is to make them in advance. I make a large double batch of pancakes all at once and freeze the extras.
That way, we always have them on hand for an easy breakfast, no matter what kind of day we are having. I like to serve pancakes with pure maple syrup and fresh fruit.
They are also really good with almond butter or peanut butter. Let’s get started!

Blender Pancake Details
Prep time: 5-10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total: 25 mins
Yield: 12-14 pancakes
Ingredients
Here are a few of the basic pantry staples that you will need to get started with this easy recipe.
- Ripe bananas – best when they have lots of brown spots.
- Old fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free if desired.
- Milk – whatever you have in the fridge works.
- Oil – pick a light vegetable oil.
- Eggs – we are currently loving farm fresh eggs.
Instructions
1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend on high until completely smooth.
3. Let the batter rest in your blender while you heat your pan up.
4. Lightly coat a griddle with olive oil spray.
5. Add 1/3 cup of pancake batter to the preheated pan or griddle.
6. Cook for 2-4 mins (until you start to see bubbles and the edges brown).
7. Flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 mins.
Substitutions
Don’t be too quick to run out to the grocery store! Try a few of these substitutions instead…
- Use buttermilk when possible. It tends to create a more moist, fluffy pancake.
- You can also use your favorite non-dairy milk in these pancakes. Try unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk. Sweetened or flavored versions would be nice too.
- Real butter is always preferred, but margarine or vegetable oil may be used in a pinch.
- Whole wheat flour or almond flour can be used instead of all-purpose, however the consistency of the batter might change.
- Make vegan pancakes with flax eggs.
- Include cottage cheese in the batter for extra protein.
- Add in chocolate chips or fresh blueberries.
- After adding the batter to your hot griddle, top it with a drizzle of maple syrup to bake the flavor right in.
Tips and Tricks
- If the pan begins to burn the cooking spray, wipe it with paper towel to cool it off and start again. It’s easy for the pan to overheat after repeated use and start to burn the pancakes.
- Make sure the stove is set to medium. This helps prevent the pancakes from burning. If they start to cook too quickly, reduce the heat to medium low.
- Be sure to whisk the dry ingredients together before adding wet ingredients. Make sure that the melted butter is cooled before adding to the milk and egg.
- Pancake batter should always be thick but not lumpy. Avoid over-mixing and allow the batter to rest for a few minutes so that the baking powder has time to activate.
- Preheating the frying pan before dropping in the batter will create consistent, fluffy pancakes every time.
- Prevent the pancakes from sticking to the skillet by using non-stick cooking spray between batches. Olive oil or butter may also be used.
- Do not flip the pancakes until bubbles begin to form and pop. The outer edge should also begin to look more opaque.
- When making recipes that involve bananas, like banana bread or these easy banana oatmeal pancakes, overripe bananas provide the best possible flavor.
Recipe Notes
- Keep the pancakes warm before serving by placing them on a lined baking sheet in an oven set to the lowest temperature. Alternately, place them in a covered casserole dish to stay warm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen, separated with parchment paper, and placed inside of a freezer bag for easy access.
- Reheat pancakes for one minute in the microwave.
