Plus, if you’ve ever made a bad banana pancakes recipe, you know the disappointment and frustration of that first bite after you spent all that time looking for the recipe, making the recipe, and then ending up with a messy kitchen. All for nothing.

So, today I’ll be sharing a foolproof, HEALTHY banana pancakes recipe! It’s simple, it’s tasty, and it’s going to absolutely rock your socks off with how healthy it is. (No added sugar, and gluten and grain free!)

Easy Banana Pancakes

The hardest part about making banana pancakes is the flip. You know the one. Where you wiggle the spatula under the circle-like blob of batter, hoping and praying that you can flip it over in one toss. With this recipe, everything is a breeze. These easy, healthy banana pancakes are so simple, you don’t even have to mix them by hand! Your blender does all the work. This banana pancakes recipe also only calls for 5 ingredients, 6 if you count the toppings! The easiest part about them though, is eating them.

How To Make Healthy Banana Pancakes

These easy banana pancakes are so simple. First, preheat your pan to medium heat. You want to hear a nice sizzle the second the batter hits the pan, so make sure it’s nice and warm before you start cooking. Next, gather your ingredients and add them to a high-speed blender. You’ll add one ripe banana, two eggs, one cup of oats, one scoop of collagen, and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Blend until smooth, and then pour onto the pan until the batter forms a circle about 2-3 inches wide. Once you start to see the batter bubble, it’s your time! Flip! Once golden brown, plate and repeat these steps until your batter is finished. Top with berries and/or maple syrup, and enjoy!

Are Banana Pancakes Healthy?

Most pre-packaged banana pancakes are full of sugar, additives, and even unhealthy preservatives. For this reason, I always encourage people to make their baked goods, pancakes included, from scratch.

Even many homemade pancakes can include a large, unnecessary serving of sugar. These banana pancakes on the other hand, are grain and added sugar free! They’re fluffy and filling thanks to the oats, and sweet from the ripe banana and cinnamon. The healthiest part about these pancakes, though, is the Super Youth collagen! Not only does Super Youth add 7 grams of protein to the mix, but also skin and hair-healthy amino acids. Super Youth collagen has shown to help improve skin tone and texture, reduce signs of aging like cellulite and wrinkles, and even boost a natural glow. All of that in a pancake recipe?! Yes, please! 

Save this recipe so that the next time you’re craving pancakes, but want to stay on track with your health and beauty goals, you have a go-to recipe!
