You should always be well-fueled going into a workout. Studies suggest that eating or drinking carbohydrates before exercise can improve workout performance and may allow you to work out for a longer time or at a higher intensity. If you don’t eat, you might feel sluggish or lightheaded when you exercise.

Ingredients
- Bananas: super ripe bananas give the pancakes their natural sweetness. Make sure they have lots of brown spots!
- Eggs: you’ll need 2 eggs in this pancake recipe.
- Milk: add moisture with any milk you’d like. We recommend using unsweetened almond milk to make these pancakes as healthy as possible.
- Oats: instead of using regular flour, these healthy banana pancakes are made with rolled oats! Feel free to use gluten-free rolled oats.
- Pancake essentials: you’ll also need baking powder to allow the pancakes to get nice and fluffy, plus some cinnamon, vanilla extract & salt for flavour.
The recipe
- Blend the ingredients. Yes, you’ll literally add all of the ingredients to a blender, and blend on high until smooth!
- Let the batter sit. You’ll then want to let the batter sit in your blender for about 2 minutes while you heat up your pan.
- Cook & flip. Add olive oil or coconut oil to a griddle or large nonstick pan and place over medium heat. Add pancake batter 1/3 cup at a time and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and tiny bubbles appear around the edges. Flip and cook 2 minutes more.
- Serve & devour. Serve pancakes with fresh fruit and a drizzle of pure maple syrup if you’d like!
