Pancakes? Healthy?? YUP! And the best part of it is, the main batter for these healthy pancakes is just 3 simple ingredients. That’s it! Banana, Eggs, and Rolled Oats!

I’ve never really been a pancake for breakfast kind of person. My go-to was always eggs, bacon, and toast- simply because I’m not a heavy sweets kind of gal! If I’m going to have dessert or something sweet it’s either :

1. ice cream, or

2. fruit based.

These pancakes are incredibly light and fruit filled, and anything filled with lemon has my attention immediately.

While these pancakes have a consistency a bit different than your normal giant fluffy pancake, the taste is still there, and they’re filled with healthy and nutritious ingredients, all under 300 calories! I would make these any day over regular pancakes!

Now, while I prefer my pancakes fruit filled, hubby is a chocolate lover. The best part about this recipe is that while you keep your main batter ingredients the same, you can change up whatever fillings or toppings you prefer! I love lemon and blueberry, drizzled with some honey. Conor loves chocolate chip, slathered in pure Vermont maple syrup (his pancakes are a bit more than 300 calories…). The options are endless!! Blueberry, banana, peanut butter, almond butter, whatever you prefer- the choice is yours!

Next lazy weekend morning give these pancakes a try, and let me know how it goes! I can’t wait to hear your combinations of flavors. Below is the recipe for my favorite:
