healthy blender pancakes

An easy morning breakfast to make for yourself or your family, filled with nourishing ingredients like oats and banana.

Healthy Blender Pancakes Recipe

My biggest cooking hack is a blender. If it can go in a blender, it will be going in a blender (not to mention, cleaning it is as easy as soap and water and the push of a button). That is why on a busy morning, we make pancakes in (you guessed it) the blender! This recipe is delicious, and knowing my kids, they are going to be eating a ton, so why not make them healthy? Make these nutritious pancakes! Another hack is making them into fun shapes—my kids love them even more!

Ingredients for Healthy Blender Pancakes

  • 1 banana 
  • 1 egg 
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups oats
  • About 2/3 cup oat milk (use enough so that it all blends together) 
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

How to Make Your Healthy Blender Pancakes

  1. Add the banana and egg to a blender.
  2. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil (microwave in 15-second increments).
  3. Add the coconut oil to the blender along with salt, almond butter, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, and oats.
  4. Add 2/3 cup of oat milk or milk of your choice and blend. Add more of the oat milk until it is a thick pancake batter consistency. 
  5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Pour in the pancake batter. Add the chocolate chips (or other inclusions if you'd like!) immediately after placing your batter on the pan.
  6. Once you see bubbles, flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve & enjoy!
