Dairy-Free Healthy Banana Pancakes
Don’t those words sound too good to be true? THEY’RE NOT! This pancake recipe checks ALL the boxes, even the dairy-free box! We have made these amazing and tasty blender pancakes dairy-free (and so good for you!) by using my new obsession, Almond Breeze Almondmilk Blended with Real Bananas!
Henry has been a HUGE banana fan since birth, so when I happened upon this Almond Breeze Almondmilk Blended with Real Bananas (it uses actual banana puree…so there’s no added sugar or artificial banana flavor), I just knew he was going to love it as much as I would. He asks for it by name EVERY morning, I kid you not.
On top of it being delicious for drinking, it’s also absolutely amazing in recipes, like these Blender Banana Pancakes. It provides an extra creamy banana taste and keeps things light and fresh, and dairy-free! Happy tummy, happy mommy!
I love serving this new Almond Breeze Almondmilk Blended with Real Bananas to Henry because each serving contains half a banana (!!), making it a great source of potassium, even when we are on the go. It’s also only 80 calories, so I feel totally guilt-free indulging in a glass for myself. When I get the chance to bake it into breakfast as well…well that’s a win-win!
Almondmilk Pancakes (Dairy-Free)
These dairy-free pancakes are a lifesaver for anyone with lactose intolerance. No animal milk, no butter, no problems! We’re using almond milk mixed with bananas to help blend everything together.
If you haven’t read the ingredients list yet, I should make it clear that these are NOT vegan. We are using eggs and honey in the recipe.

Pancake Toppings
These easy banana pancakes are so delicious just as they are…but pancake toppings are what make them fun! The base recipe is perfect for your everyday pancakes, but you can really change them up every time you make them by changing the toppings and extras.

How to Make Banana Pancakes in a Blender
These EASY banana pancakes definitely need to be your go-to breakfast recipe. You can have a fun breakfast every morning, even when you don’t have a lot of time. Whip up the batter in a blender, pour it onto a griddle, and let them cook for a few minutes. Then they’re ready to go!
How to make blender pancakes:
- Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender, and blend until the batter becomes completely smooth.
- Heat up your griddle or skillet, and spray with non-stick spray.
- Use a ⅓-cup measuring cup to pour batter into cakes on the griddle.
- Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side (watch for bubbling so you know when to flip).
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until they turn a golden brown.
And that’s it! Serve them hot along with whatever toppings you prefer.
I can’t wait for you to try these super easy banana oat pancakes. They are so good! Simple enough to make every morning (or at least every weekend), and they’re healthy too. Win-win!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
