Expert Tips for making healthy homemade pancakes
- Don’t over-mix the batter – This will result in “gummy” tasting pancakes and nobody wants that. We want fluffy, pancake deliciousness, right? 30 seconds on high speed should do it.
- Use ripe bananas– Good, ripe bananas are essential for this recipe since they make the batter smooth and give it a hint of sweetness.
- Cook the pancakes in even size’s by using a measuring cup to pour the batter. This will help yield even cooking times. ¼ cup measuring cup is the perfect size for a nice round, even pancakes.
- Use a countertop griddle or cast iron pan to cook the pancakes. Using a griddle or cast-iron pan will result in a nice crisp outer crust and a soft, fluffy center. YUM!!!
- Mix in some extras like chocolate chips or blueberries for added flavor.

How many pancakes for one serving?
Hi Carisa, 3 pancakes per serving.
LOVED this recipe. I used quick oats because I didn’t have a blender. I used electric beaters to mix. I probably mixed it more than I should have but they still were really really good!
