Divine banana pancake recipe for all day energy
Sunday is pancake day at my house and I love slathering a rich fruity topping over the hotcakes as soon as they’re flipped from the pan. You are going to love these. They are hearty, filling, tasty and very satisfying. You only need 1 or 2 to feel full and unlike a typical pancake they won’t spike your blood sugar and make you sleepy very soon after eating them!
Most pancakes tend to pack on the pounds because they’re full of flour and sugar. These ones do the opposite and taste even better! Full of bananas, almonds, oats, coconut oil, and cinnamon, they taste divine while also helping to whittle down your waistline, keep your energy stable for hours, and produce glowing skin. These babies are a pleasurable and healthy secret weapon to pull out whenever you feel like a sweet treat. They taste sinful, but are full of goodness.
This healthy breakfast recipe is great topped with coconut oil and fresh fruit. These ones are topped with kiwis, bananas and a syrup like mixture which is just mango whizzed up with 1 tsp of maple syrup to which passionfruit is folded in . Look at that oozey, fruity yumminess dripping off the edge of these beauties!
Divine banana pancake recipe for all day energy
Ingredients
-
2
cups
dry rolled oats

- 1 banana
- 1 1/4 cups almond milk or other nut milk
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds mixed with 3 Tbsp water or you can use an egg
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted is best
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar add last
Instructions
-
Mix your "chia egg" first. Into a mug, add 1 Tbsp chia seeds and 3 Tbsp water. Mix with a fork and set aside for 10 mins or more
-
Add all the other ingredients into your blender (except apple cider vinegar)
-
Add your chia egg mixture into the blender and finally add your apple cider vinegar last so that it doesn't react for too long with the baking soda before you get them in the hot pan!
-
Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth
-
Cook your pancakes on a preheated medium-hot pan with some coconut oil melted on it – I use this crepe pan for easy flipping and perfect size!
Recipe Notes
Spread coconut butter on your pancakes and then either cover in fresh fruit - I like to whizz up a kiwi or mango for a healthy fruit syrup, or mix up 1 tsp agave or maple syrup with raw cocoa powder (1 Tbsp or so), then drizzle this onto pancakes. Top off with a sprinkle of dessicated coconut and a few slices of banana!
Main benefits of eating this
- Coconut oil works wonders for your body. It supports a lean body, weight loss, improves heart health and your immune system
- Oats and cinnamon work together to slow down the release of sugars into your bloodstream which keeps your insulin in check and prevents fat storage
Most pancakes tend to pack on the pounds. These ones do the opposite and taste better than the usual fare because they’re flour and sugar free and full of nutrient rich ingredients – hoorah!
I love pancake Sunday even more now that I’ve discovered this kind of healthy breakfast exists! Not only do you get to eat delicious hotcakes, but you get to stay healthy, slim and energetic too! To me, it’s a win every way you look at it!
