Banana Pancakes (options for gluten-free/vegan)

These banana pancakes have a great texture and are totally banana-sweetened. They’re 100% whole grain and naturally gluten-free and dairy-free with vegan option. Check out the rave reviews below!

I’m pretty picky with my pancakes. I don’t like bready ones. Especially whole grain bready ones.

So don’t worry – these aren’t your usual cardboardy whole grain pancakes! They’re soft and slightly moist.

I often make my Swedish pancakes or paleo buttermilk pancakes when I have some berries I want to use, but these banana oatmeal pancakes are my all-time favorite.

If you’ve got some bananas that are about to go bad, this is what you want to do with them (though these paleo chocolate banana muffins would also be a great choice!).

The bananas don’t need to be banana bread ripe, though. It’s fine as long as the peel has some black spots on it.

Even with just bananas and no added sugar, these gluten-free banana pancakes are nice and sweet and maple syrup is totally unnecessary (but it’s always nice, isn’t it? ;)) Same goes with chocolate chips!

If you need to make some gluten-free pancakes but don’t want to buy any specialty flours, these are a great choice. They just use oat flour, which is nothing but ground up oats.

If you don’t have oat flour on hand, you can whirl some quick or rolled oats in a food processor, high-powered blender (like a Blendtec or Vitamix) or an electric coffee grinder until it’s very fine and powdery. It works just as well as store-bought oat flour.

My favorite way for small amounts is the coffee grinder and if I need more, a high-powered blender. Both get the oat flour really fine.

And if you’d like to use a blender to make pancakes, try these banana Blender Pancakes!

If you have a large food processor, you’ll probably need to grind more oats than you need for this recipe to get it to grind the oats finely enough. I have a large food processor and need at least a cup or two of oats for them to reach the blade.

Just make sure to use gluten-free oats / oat flour if you need these pancakes to be gluten-free! (read here: are oats gluten-free? if you’re new to gluten-free and unsure about oats!)

Overall, these gluten-free banana pancakes are easy to make but one thing that I’ve noticed is that they’re pretty difficult to flip in a cast iron skillet. You can definitely do it but I needed a lot of coconut oil.

My pan isn’t very well seasoned but still… I thought I should warn you. As soon as I switched to a regular non-stick pan, this wasn’t an issue.

School isn’t even out yet here in Bavaria for another two weeks but I know school is starting up soon in some parts of the US. These banana oatmeal pancakes are great to make-ahead for busy mornings as they reheat well and they’re also delicious when cold so they’d be a super dessert for the lunchbox.

These banana breakfast bars from Crazy for Crust also look like a tasty option! And for something without banana, try these protein pancakes, which can be made with whole wheat or gluten-free flour.

I originally posted this banana pancake recipe in 2013 but am re-sharing them today with new pictures and a video because they’re just so darn good (check out the reviews if you need convincing!). Here’s an old picture for reference (for the people wondering if this is really the recipe they’ve been making).

Questions about these gluten-free banana pancakes?

  • How can I make these grain-free? I’ve been working on a grain-free version. I’ll post it once it’s as tasty as the oat flour version!

  • Can I use something other than flour? Oat flour absorbs liquids differently than other flours so I can’t really suggest anything. If you decide to experiment, let us know how it goes!

  • Can I use something in place of the bananas? I wouldn’t really recommend trying something else like pumpkin as nothing else is kind of sticky and really sweet like bananas.

    Since it’s the base of the recipe, I think a different recipe would be better if you don’t want to use bananas.

Banana Pancakes (options for gluten-free/vegan)
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Ready in:
  • Yield: 8-9 medium pancakes

Ingredients

  • 3 small or 2 medium overly ripe bananas (270 grams / 9.5 ounces total, without the peel), mashed
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) coconut oil or unsalted butter (for a dairy-containing version), melted
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar (I've tried both white and apple cider vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (50 grams each, out of shell) or 2 chia eggs1 for vegan
  • 1 cup (95 grams) oat flour (make sure to use GF oat flour, if needed)2
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients (bananas through eggs) and stir until well combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.
  3. Pour the dry ingredients over the wet and stir just until combined. There might still be some lumps.
  4. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Spray it lightly with cooking spray or lightly butter it.
  6. Pour 1/4 cups of batter onto the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles start to form around the edges of the pancake.
  7. Flip it and cook for another 90 seconds or until golden brown on the bottom.
  8. Continue with the remaining batter and serve the pancakes immediately.
  9. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 4 days. They're great reheated and cold.

Notes

  1. To make 2 chia eggs, mix 2 tablespoons ground chia with 5 tablespoons water and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. To make your own oat flour, grind quick or rolled oats in a coffee grinder or food processor until it resembles flour.

    I was searching frantically this morning for a milk free pancake recipe because we are out and I had four hungry kids! I stumbled on here, with your other GF milk free pancake recipe, and I’ve made recipes of yours before so I knew it had to be good! I truly appreciated your honest remark that they weren’t healthy though, as I was looking for more of a hearty breakfast i was led here. I will say, this was so easy and extremely forgiving considering I was also lower than I thought on other things as well. I only had 1.5 bananas so I added a cup of applesauce, an extra egg, and a dash of water to try and make the right consistency. They still turned out lovely! I will say if you are short on bananas like me an added tablespoon or two of sugar would probably be even better. This is my new go to “Hail Mary” breakfast recipe base! Thank you!

      You’re welcome! I’m so glad that you enjoyed these healthier pancakes. :) Thanks a bunch for your tip on how to make them if you only have 1.5 bananas. I like how experimental you got. :D It’s great that it worked out! I’m also happy to hear that you’ve made other recipes of mine before and felt confident to make another. That is always so nice to read! And yeah, those milk-free pancakes (and any typical pancake recipe) just put me in a carb coma. 😂 Thanks for your feedback!

    These were delicious and I’ve made them a few times now. I do add a tablespoon of sugar since I never have the patience to wait for bananas to get to the really really ripe stage. We love waffles too. Do you know if this recipe can be used in a waffle iron?

        I should clarify – I make a big batch and use up all the batter by making the pancakes in a pan, and THEN I freeze them. Super easy to put them in the toaster after that to heat them up!

    Thanks much for the wonderful recipe, Erin! I made these (baked them on a sheet pan in the oven, am lazy 😛) and they are soooo good. My kids loved them too. The pancakes are all gone within 10 minutes. Had to stop myself from finishing off the last two, saved them for my hubby. And I kept telling myself these are guilt free so I could eat more 😊

        I follow CCK’s method for baking pancakes: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2017/08/06/how-to-make-pancakes-not-stick-to-the-pan/

        I use parchment lined sheet pan. Parchment paper is a must. My pancakes were thin as the batter spread in the oven, but very light and fluffy and they were all done baking in 10 mins. Maybe next time I would probably just pour all the batter in a smaller baking tray and bake like a cake and cut squares out of it.

          Thanks so much for the reply! I doubled the recipe, used a jelly roll pan, and tried it using those directions. I poured it all into the parchment-lined pan but it took forever (maybe 45 minutes?). They came out pretty dense. I’ll have to maybe try two pans next time! Thanks again. :)

          You are welcome, Erin!
          Used 15 by 21 inch sheet pan when I baked the pancakes. As you mentioned, using two pans might work out since you doubled the recipe. Also, I added a 1/4-1/2 tsp baking powder to get fluffier result. Last night I baked the whole thing in an 8 by 8 glass pan. Was definitely denser than the baked pancakes on sheet pan, but this is my new go to breakfast, the lazy but tasty way 😊

    Your pancake recipe is the reason I get excited whenever there are ripe bananas in the house. I’ve experimented with adding millet, quinoa, buckwheat, and/or hemp flour to the oat flour (most of the time at least 50g of oat flour, then whatever other flour(s)), and they’ve all turned out well. The buckwheat blend had a stronger taste, but consistency-wise they’ve all been fine. Your recipes are fool-proof!

They are fluffy, light, moist, and taste like sweet banana bread straight from the oven. There’s not even a hint of a gluten-free texture….when topped with loads of butter, maple syrup, and walnuts, this is a food coma waiting to happen.

    I tried your recipe but I found that the texture in the mixing bowl was too pasty and intact it seemed like drop biscuits when I tried to make the first pancake. What did I do wrong? I decided to add some almond milk. This was the right consistency for me. Aside from that, these are the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had. My husband loved them too.

    Just made these. No problem flipping them, they held together fine but I did increase the heat a bit. I used frozen bananas defrosted in the microwave and it worked fine, in case anyone was wondering.

    I stumbled across this recipe this morning looking for something filling to make with 2 overripe bananas. I regularly make myself an individual oat flour pancake using flax seed instead of egg since it’s just 1 serving, and my mom always put P.B. on top of our pancakes, so I had a feeling I would love this recipe. It is GREAT! I will be exploring your site for more great recipes. This one is a keeper for sure!

    After 4 years of being grain free, we are slowly adding some traditionally prepared grains back into our diet a few times a month, but still not having wheat. I found a company that makes sprouted oats, and am trying this recipe with the oat flour. Previously, I had been making pancakes out of squash and eggs, or for a sweeter pancake, banana and eggs. I know that I used 1 egg per banana when I just made banana (no flour at all) pancakes. So, that might be your issue on why your pancakes are not holding together, not enough binder. For “regular” flour pancakes, the gluten is a very strong binder. For gluten free pancakes, there is no binder, so you have to find a way to bind the ingredients. Egg is not as strong as gluten, but it works. I followed your recipe, with the exception that I used a total of 5 eggs. I also mixed everything with a stick blender, rather than mashing the banana, in order to get a smoother texture to help bind. A few more tips would be to make sure you are using enough oil in the pan. I use a stainless steel pan and add a bit of oil each time I add pancakes to the pan. Lastly, since again, these pancakes will not hold together like pancakes that contain gluten, the size needs to be smaller than typical pancakes. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup and pour out 1/2 to 3/4 of it for each pancake. This also helps the pancakes hold together better when flipping. I did all of these things and even added blueberries to the top, before flipping, and had no issues. Thanks for posting your recipe, and best of luck!

    These pancakes sound delicious! I love making healthier pancakes. I usually use whole wheat flour and add banana. (And my kids love it when I add chocolate chips 😊) I’ve used Greek yogurt and/or almond milk too but I’ve been wanting to experiment with out flour. I’m excited to try your recipe. Thanks!

      I love whole wheat pancakes, too, but prefer the milder taste of oat flour. And it’s still 100% whole grain so I’m doubly happy. ;) I hope you’ll enjoy the pancakes! Thanks for your comment.

    Haven’t been able to try this recipe yet, but just wanted to say that I LOVE that you posted the weight of the bananas without the peels – “2 large banana” recipe listings are so annoying, and I love that you’ve made it easy for me to make sure to do this correctly! Thank you! :)

      Oh my gosh. Don’t even get me started on those recipes. ;) I won’t even make recipes with measurements like that because my final product won’t be anything like theirs! I’m happy you appreciate the gram measurements. :) Thanks for your comment!

    These pancakes are delicious! I made them for the first time following the recipe exactly and poured maple syrup over top. Next time, I plan on trying the suggestion of substituting the butter for applesauce in order to reduce the fat. I don’t eat gluten free, but I am trying to cut way back on the wheat in my diet. It’s nice to find delicious, easy to make recipes like this gem instead of buying processed pre-made foods or mixes. Thank you!

    These were SO good! I made them for my husband and I this morning and added a few chocolate chips to the batter after I poured the pancakes onto the skillet. One slight modification that I made – I did about 1 tbsp. coconut oil and 1 tbsp applesauce and I thought it was perfect. Will definitely be making again!

    As someone who is allergic to dairy and not a fan of the flavor of coconut oil I decided to experiment with 2 TBSP of plain applesauce and it worked all the same! Just about 25 less grams of fat ;) delicious and so easy to modify! Thanks!

    These were great! I usually keep bananas on hand explicitly to freeze and keep for smoothies but wanted something more today. I love the texture of oat flour. I ground my own in the food processor and left some pieces so the texture looked very similar to yours. And added some walnuts for extra crunch. Thanks – these will be a great go-to pancake recipe!!

    How much is one serving? It says it makes 8-9 pancakes…but is that more than one serving? Thanks for your help, I can’t wait to make these!!

      That’s hard to say because it depends on how much you want to eat! I wouldn’t suggest a serving of 8-9 medium pancakes for one person, though. ;) I think 2 or 3 pancakes would be more reasonable. I hope you’ll enjoy them!
