These Oat Banana Nut Pancakes are hearty, healthy, and delicious!
Oat Banana Nut Pancakes take regular panckaes to the next level. Adding oats, whole-wheat flour, nuts, and bananas transforms traditional pancakes into this updated version. Not that there is anything wrong with traditional pancakes, I love them as well.
Letting the batter rest for a few minutes while the griddle is getting hot helps them to be thick. Our family likes both thick and thin pancakes.
I overlooked putting the sugar in the picture, oopsie!
The batter before it has rested.
You can put as many bananas on there as you like! We also make some pancakes with nuts and some without. My youngest daughter is not the biggest fan of nuts, and I know a lot of people are allergic.
Normally I will make the batter and let it rest, then make a few pancakes before I put the nuts in. I sometimes do this with cookie recipes also.
It’s just a little thing I do to spoil my kids. It is also what makes my kids say “mom’s cooking is the best”.
This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed more people. I often double pancake recipes when I am making them for my family because we love them so much!

Oat Banana Nut Pancakes
Oat Banana Nut Pancakes adds oats, wheat flour, bananas and walnuts to traditional pancake batter to make a heartier and healthier version of pancakes.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup oats, old-fashioned or quick cooking
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
- ⅛ cup chopped walnuts
- banana slices
- cooking spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix the oats, wheat flour, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in milk, egg, oil, and walnuts.
- While the pancake batter rests, heat a griddle pan or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water "skittles" across it and evaporates. (I heat my electric griddle pan to 350°.)
- Spray griddle or nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Pour about a ½ cup of batter onto griddle and place sliced bananas on top of each pancake; cook until the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges are dry, flip and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
