Hi! Alberto here again. In case you didn’t read the previous post, I’ll put you in the picture: Iosune has got a cold and I’m in charge of publishing this week (she made the recipes, not me, so don’t worry ?).
I didn’t like the idea of writing, it’s one thing I was never interested in (I prefer more graphical things like drawing or taking photos). However, I should admit I enjoy doing it now, I think I could get used to it ?. What about you, do you like writing?
Today’s recipe is simple, no hassling and you will get an amazing outcome: pancakes! ? In addition, you only need 3 ingredients.
All of the ingredients are pretty common, so you may already have them in your kitchen: banana, oats and oat milk. You only need to blend them and the batter will be ready.
Now you only have to cook the pancakes.
Quick healthy breakfast idea: make your pancakes the day before and re-heat it next morning, then top it with fruit and syrup.
Tips:
- If you haven’t oat milk, you can use any other plant milk or water.
- To save time, you can make big batches of pancakes and freeze them.
- If you are in the mood of something savory, you can use this recipe too. Just use add some tomato slices, vegan Parmesan cheese and oregano for topping instead of fruit and syrup.

I made these pancakes several times, they are simply perfect 🙂 no fancy ingredients required and even no baking powder!
Hi Magda! SO glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Just made these for first time and like these alot !! Taste good and so simple
Hi Melissa! Thanks a lot 🙂 SO glad you enjoyed them!
I just made this for breakfast from Thailand and it turned out pretty well. I have cooked normal pancake only once or twice in my life and it’s never turned out well, my bad pan was one issue. Anyway from this time cooking, I got a better pan. I followed the instructions and got a good texture mixture. However I found out that the pancakes tended to easily fall apart, is it normal?
So I cooked until they were very brown and some got burnt a bit on the surface because I worried if it wouldn’t be cooked enough and would fall apart. Do you have any suggestions on this? Thank you so much and I absolutely enjoyed the recipe!

Hi Yoo! No, my pancakes don’t fall apart… Cook them longer at a lower temperature until golden brown. Have a nice day!
Made this today for pancake day in the UK and absolutely delicious and guilt-free – thank you!
Hi David! You’re so welcome 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Can this be made with apple sauce instead of the banana?
Hi Alexis! I think it could work 🙂
Delicious!

Hi Mumtaj! Thanks a lot 🙂
I just made them! They were AMAZING. So simple and so filling. Per the recipe how many servings are there total?
★★★★★
Hi Tamara! So glad you liked it 🙂 You can make 6 pancakes with this recipe. Have a nice day!
They were sooo good! Best pancakes I’ve ever made, I put golden syrup and strawberries on mine hehe ! Thanks for the recipe:) xxx

Hi Danni! Sounds great 🙂 So glad you liked them!
Question. I’m planning on going camping. Do you think I would be able to make a large batch of the pancake batter ahead of time and just keep it refrigerated or does the batter have to be made immediately.
Hi Kelly! I guess you could, but you’ll probably need to add more liquid before making the pancakes because the batter will be too thick. Hope it helps!
Turned out great! Quick, easy and taste great. love these.
Hi Lily! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Never made vegan pancakes before and these turned out perfect. I did add a little cinnamon and a dollop of peanut butter to the mix though, served them with strawberries, blueberries and honey…my children and myself loved them!
Hi Louise! Sounds great 🙂 So glad you liked them!
Do you think I can use a hand mixer. I dont have a blender? Hoping to make this tm. Thank you.
Hi Irma! I’ve never tried it, but I think it could work 🙂
how long can they be frozen for and would you reheat on the pan ?
Hi Lauren! About 3 months or even more. You can defrost them in the microwave or at room temperature and then reheat them on the pan 🙂
I have old fashioned oats, is this the same? Or should I use the quick oats or rolled oats? Thank you for your amazing recipes BTW, you guys are amazing!
Cheers!
Hi Monique! I’ve never used it myself, but I think it should work 🙂
How much do I need to use of apple sauce if I sub the apple sauce for banana? I’m allergic to banana. Sad story for a plant-based eater!
Hi Monique! About 1/2 cup of applesauce (8 tbsp) 🙂
Yummy, simple and healthy! I am not a great cook so I struggled with getting the pancakes to turn out right, without flopping in the middle. Now I know to heat up the pan then turn it down low enough to cook but not too low. On my gas burner it’s about medium-to-low.
Anyway, now I have that mastered, these are a definite regular breakfast item for us!
Thanks so much!

Hi Kate! So glad you liked it 🙂 Have a nice day!
These are really good! Though I’m having some problem with frying the pancakes (as I always have). Should I fry them on low medium or high? I never seem to get the proper color?
Hi Liza! The skillet has to be hot and you should cook the pancakes over medium or medium-high heat until they’re fully cooked and golden brown. Hope it helps!
They were great tried them for the first time. I just turned VEGAN and I like the fact that its only three ingredients. They smell and taste soooooooo good the texture was just right.
Hi Crystal! So glad you liked them 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! Love that it’s soquick and easy. I made them with a ripe banana and regular oats and served with warmed maple syrup, very tasty! I can’t wait to try them with berries, too!
Hi Kimberly! You’re so welcome 🙂 Sounds great!
I just made them and they turned out delicious! I cut up a banana and an apple and roasted it a little and had it with them. Will definitely be making these again!! 🙌

Hi Nina! So glad you liked them 🙂 Have a nice day!
Hi, I am new here and not at all an experienced cook. I have tried making the pancakes and the last two got stuck to the pan. What heating do you recommend? Low, medium or high? And What type of grease (low on cholesterol)? Thanks!
Hi Jeroen! Use a non-stick pan if you can. When the pan is hot, I cook the pancakes over medium heat. I always use coconut or extra virgin olive oil. Have a nice day!
I made these with rolled oats and coconut milk for my daughter. They were amazing! Making them again for sure.
Hi there! I’m so glad you liked them 🙂
I tried this recipe and it was delicious. I whizzed up some ordinary porridge oats in my food processor to make them into oat flour and then whizzed all the ingredients together. It was a thick mixture but the pancakes came out perfectly. Thank you!

Hi Sarah! Thanks, I’m so glad you liked it. Have a beautiful day!
Hi,
New here looks good I am going to give it a try I am starting to transition to a plant -based diet. I do have a couple of question..can steel rolled oats be used as well and can apples be added along with the banana to make the batter. Thanks
Michelle
★★★★★
Hi Michelle! Yes, you cna used steel rolled oats and also add apples or even applesauce instead of the banana. Have a nice day!
Tried these pancakes and they were great. I used quick cooking oats. I also put 1/3 cup of batter in my waffle maker and the waffle was too soft. Do you have any ideas to make this recipe work for waffles?
★★★★★
Hi Ron! Try to add more oats or make our waffle recipe, which is quite similar: http://simpleveganblog.com/vegan-gluten-free-waffles/
They look great and so simple to make 🙂 Will be trying them out soon!

Thanks! I hope you like them 🙂
These look super simple and quick to make, I can’t wait to try them out!

Can I substitute quick cooking oats?
★★★★★
I think it should work.
