Slow Saturday mornings are my favorite. When you don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock — Praise the Lord! Just the sun, gently peeking its warm light through the blinds. Yes, slow Saturday mornings are my favorite. Last Saturday I decided to enjoy my slow morning with Banana Oat Pancakes! Let me tell you, these pancakes are a winner. Both in taste and ingredients! The banana acts as a natural sweetener, so there’s only one tablespoon of sugar in the entire batch!

They’re also an energizing way to start the morning. I love pancakes, but they don’t usually keep me filled up very long, and sometimes I can feel kinda tired later on, because they don’t have a lot of protein. These banana oat pancakes though are just enough to satisfy, without being too heavy, and they keep me feeling good all morning!

Now I bet you’re wondering “What about the texture, don’t the oats give it a weird texture?” In some cases that might be true, but not for these babies! For these pancakes, I blended the batter, prior to cooking them, which helps to eliminate weird oat chunks.

Probably the best part of this whole recipe though, is that Owen approved them! My brother is my TOUGHEST critic. Anytime I bake or cook, he alllllways, has some sort of feedback. There’s always something I could “change” about the recipe. These pancakes though, hit a home run! He ate six of them!

Do I need to say anything else? I don’t think so. Alright friends, without further ado, here’s how to make these simple Banana Oat Pancakes!
