Description

Fluffy banana oat pancakes merge hearty whole grains with sweet ripe fruit for a breakfast delight. Quick and simple ingredients blend into a nutritious morning treat you’ll crave morning after morning.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (45 grams) rolled oats

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Transform rolled oats into a fine, powdery consistency by pulsing in a blender until smooth and uniform.
  2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mash ripe bananas until creamy, then incorporate eggs, baking powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a delicate sprinkle of salt.
  3. Gradually fold oat flour into the banana mixture, stirring until the batter achieves a silky, homogeneous texture without lumps.
  4. Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat (around 350°F), applying a thin layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Gently ladle small portions of batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to develop golden edges and bubbles across the top, approximately 2 minutes per side.
  6. Flip pancakes when bottom surface turns a rich, caramel-like brown, cooking the opposite side until equally golden and thoroughly set.
  7. Transfer finished pancakes to serving plates, drizzling with honey, maple syrup, or garnishing with fresh seasonal berries for a delightful morning treat.

Notes

  • Easily create gluten-free pancakes by ensuring oats are certified gluten-free, perfect for those with wheat sensitivities.
  • Ripe bananas work best for natural sweetness and smoother batter consistency, so choose overripe, soft bananas with brown spots.
  • Customize texture by adjusting liquid content – add a splash of milk for thinner pancakes or reduce eggs for denser, more compact results.
  • Boost nutritional value by sprinkling chia seeds, hemp hearts, or protein powder into the batter for extra protein and omega-3 benefits.
