PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES PANCAKES is a collection of my pancakes recipes from the last fifteen years.
Since starting to blog in 2004, I have posted about a dozen pancake recipes. All of them riffs on a basic recipe using a mashed banana and some combination of flours. I used to think there was some big secret to homemade pancakes, but once I started making them from scratch, I realized that almost any combination of flours with egg work. I like the addition of banana for sweetness, and my kids grew up with my constant experimenting.
I've had a few folks reach out for these old pancakes recipes, especially since I have a video that references one of them on YouTube. So I thought I'd share the more popular pancake posts in one collection. This way all my old links work. So here goes...
Banana Almond Oat Pancake Recipe
This is the pancake recipe in the video. They require a bit more work as I freshly grind the oats and almonds, but you could easily use flours instead. I posted these in 2012.
Banana Almond Oat Pancakes
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 10 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old Fashioned Oats (80g)
- ¼ cup Almonds (35g)
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 egg
- ½ cup almond milk
Instructions
Grind up the oats and almonds in a processor. I use the Bullet
and it works perfectly.
Just be sure to give it a few shakes because the almonds will start to stick.
In a bowl mix the processed oats/almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and baking powder.
In another bowl mash the banana. Then whisk with the vanilla, egg, and milk.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to create the batter. It will be on the thicker side.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and spray with non-stick spray.
Pour batter on the griddle in about quarter cups (I don’t usually measure – this recipe make about 10 cakes)
Cook for 3-4 minutes. The edges with start to brown slightly and there will be a few bubbles. Flip.
Cook for about 2 minutes until set.
Enjoy!

If I come across any of my older pancakes recipes, I'll post them here and if there is one I left out that you are looking for, just let me know. I'll add it.
Oh! And I do have a more recent pancake recipe post. I now sneak in a bit of protein powder.
Pancakes! One of my many weaknesses!
