How to Make Gluten Free Banana Pancakes
Before we get into the ingredients and recipe, we want to give you a few tips! When you’re making these gluten free and vegan banana oat pancakes, you’ll want to make sure that the oats are gluten free. We also suggest that you do not use quick oats – steel cut oats or rolled oats are preferred.
Once you’ve ensured that your oats are gluten free, blend them until they are a fine powder. Try to blend until you see no more oats present. We use this ninja for blending but any blender will work.
You’ll also want to use a ripe banana. Ripe bananas are sweeter, easier to mash, and on top of that – it’s a good way to reduce food waste.
Now let’s get to the gluten free and vegan banana pancakes for one! Did you know that there are more than 100 pancakes world wide?

Directions for the Perfect Vegan and Gluten Free Banana Pancakes
When you’re making these gluten free banana pancakes, you’ll want to have a pan, skillet, or griddle to make pancakes. You’ll also need a spatula and the blender – we’ve linked a few good options towards the end of this post.
First, heat up a pan or skillet that you’ll cook the pancakes on.
Next, mash up a ripe banana.
Add 1/4 cup of almond milk and blend until there are few lumps.
Then blend enough oats – they should measure to 1/4 cup of oat flour + 2TBS oat flour after blended. Add to bowl with banana and almond milk and mix.
Then add 1/4 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
Add one dash salt and one dash cinnamon.
Once blended, scoop pancake batter on the hot skillet or pan. This is enough to make 5 small pancakes or a few larger pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes and flip.
Wait another 2-3 minutes then move pancakes to a plate and top as you’d like!
Enjoy!
