Equipment
- Blender or food processor
- Mixing bowl
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the Pancake Batter
- 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (240ml) (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray or coconut oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Start by placing the rolled oats in a blender or food processor. Blend until they resemble flour.
- Tip: If you like a little texture, leave some oats partially blended for added bite.
Mix in the Ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour with the mashed banana, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Stir until you have a smooth and slightly thick batter.
Heat the Skillet
- Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the Batter
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface—this usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Tip: Make sure the skillet is hot enough to get a golden-brown crust.
Flip and Cook
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it is golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve Warm
- Stack the pancakes high and top with your favorite fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Pro tips for delicious pancakes: Use overly ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. Add a pinch of cinnamon for an aromatic twist. Adjust thickness with more or less milk. Freeze leftovers for a quick breakfast later.
