These healthy pancakes are perfect for the whole family!
This tasty treat is perfect for a weekend family breakfast. Your family will love these delicious whole grain pancakes, and you can feel good about serving up this superfood breakfast. This recipe for healthy banana blueberry pancakes is a great energy booster, and contains additional fiber and potassium. Pancakes are sometimes a no-no for people watching their calorie or carbohydrate intake. Fortunately, these pancakes are made with whole grains, so the carbs are complex. These are the carbs your body needs and that do not instantly convert into sugar.
Pancakes are one of the most loved breakfast foods in the world. They can be jazzed up with syrup or fruit (in this case blueberries) and they pair well with other common breakfast favorites, such as eggs and sausage. We love these pancakes because they are packed with healthy antioxidants and whole grains. They are great for a celebratory breakfast, a lazy Sunday brunch, or even on a weekday morning when you have a few extra minutes to whip up something hearty.

Love this pancakes!
My husband loves anything whole grain. I'll bet he would love these.
I love blueberry pancakes. Banana and blueberries! Even better.
My husband eats these. He doesn't know they're good for him, too 🙂
One of our fave breakfast recipes! Would love to win the cookbook to make even more!
Can't wait to try these out!
These are delicious :). They are on the weekend breakfast rotation. I suggest freezing extras for fast weekday breakfasts too!
Made these this weekend and they were absolutely delicious! Great recipe to try if you haven't yet! 🙂
We eat these every Saturday morning. They are without a doubt the best pancakes I've ever had……next to my Dad's of course.
The best~!!! Even my husband LOVED them, they will now be a weekend staple.
Unvelievable! Made these this morning and they were a hit! Like the idea of freezing the extras!
Question: Can you make the oat flour with steel cut oats, or are they too hard to grind?
Cindy, You would need a vitamix type mixer. I don't have one either so old-fashioned is what I use. 🙁
My husband hates banana. What part does the banana play in this recipe other than flavor? Can it be omitted? Thanks
Darlene, It adds additional sweetness since there is very little added otherwise. It certainly can be omitted or substituted with a little applesauce!
I saw these on my facebook feed and tried them..yum…a new favorite and great way to use up ripe bananas.
Can you sub coconut oil for the canola?
Veghead, Definitely…YUM!
Yes, you sure can.
