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
- Transform rolled oats into a fine, powdery consistency by pulsing in a blender until smooth and uniform.
- 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.
- Gradually fold oat flour into the banana mixture, stirring until the batter achieves a silky, homogeneous texture without lumps.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat (around 350°F), applying a thin layer of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- Flip pancakes when bottom surface turns a rich, caramel-like brown, cooking the opposite side until equally golden and thoroughly set.
- 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.
