I think I’ve said this before, but, I have to say it again – I simply love pancakes! From Chocolate Lentil ones to Green Smoothie ones, I adore them in a big, huge way!
After my first lesson on “compound words” back in the day – when I was a young ‘un, my mind began to churn and I started to think that “pan-cakes” were simply cakes made in a pan!
True, my mom’s Sri Lankan pancakes were always rolled up with coconut and cardamom stuffing, but, it was hard to argue with my 6-year-old reasoning skills back then.
When my daughter was 6, she went through a similar dilemma after her first lesson on “compound words.” She managed to convince herself that I was “par-anoid”.
Now, true, I was (probably still am) THAT parent who was a tad bit over-protective. But, she somehow came to the conclusion that “par-noid” meant “a parent who was being annoying”!
When I found this out, I had to ask her what made her think this way, to which she replied “Mommy, you don’t share any extra SunnyD with my friends when we are on the playground – you drink it ALL – and THAT’s annoying”! Seriously – you think they (your children) are not paying attention – but they annoyingly watch everything you do!
Maybe I was feeding her too many pancakes…
Sometimes, it’s still hard to shake off those 6-year-old reasoning skills! Both mine and my daughters’!
So, in honor of our 6-year-old selves, I chose to combine my love of pancakes with her love of SunnyD – or, wait, is that my love of SunnyD?! Never mind – clearly, my reasoning skills now cannot stoop to my reasoning skills back then, especially when pancakes that taste as good as these and are as fun to make, are lying around.
When I say these pancakes are easy – they are so easy, you can get your 6-year-old child (or children) involved in mixing the ingredients up – but, y’all might not want to let y’alls 6-year-old selves do the flipping…or maybe y’all do…heck, it would be a whole lotta fun!

How do you make these easy Banana Oat Pancakes?
These pancakes are so easy to make – only 7 ingredients and 7 steps:
- Gather all the ingredients: Rolled oats, baking powder, salt, vanilla, orange juice or SunnyD, banana, and an egg.
- Add the oats to a blender or food processor and pulse it till it’s a “flour-like” consistency. Or, you could use oat flour, but that stuff isn’t budget-friendly to me so I just use DIY Oat Flour. Add the oat flour to a large bowl.
- Add the banana, baking powder, salt, vanilla, orange juice or SunnyD, and egg to the blender and pulse until well blended.
- Grease up a skillet and start dropping 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto it – let it cook for 2-3 minutes on a low-medium flame (each stove varies)
- Flip
- Repeat until all the pancake batter is used up.
- Top your stack with some drippy peanut butter, maple syrup, and bananas, and ENJOY with a hot mug of coffee.

Thank you for sharing this recipe
Orange flavoured pancakes! That is indeed a neat idea! But especially the drippy peanut butter with maple syrup make these look very difficult to resist. Mhhhhhh!!
I love how you make different varieties of pancakes. I must branch out in my repertoire 🙂
Sunny D! Bringing back childhood memories 🙂 But I LOVE making simple pancakes with just an egg and banana..this is a great twist on that!
