Banana Oat Pancakes

Fluffy, healthy, and naturally sweetened—these banana oat pancakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch!

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• ½ cup milk (or any milk substitute)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

1. In a blender, combine the mashed bananas, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
2. Blend until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes to allow the oats to absorb liquid and thicken further.

2. Heat the Pan

1. Place a non-stick pan over medium heat.
2. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of cooking oil or butter.

3. Cook the Pancakes

1. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
2. Gently spread the batter with the back of a spoon, if needed, to create an even circle.
3. Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface.
4. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown.

4. Serve and Enjoy

1. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
2. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as:
   • Honey or maple syrup
   • Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced bananas)
   • A sprinkle of cinnamon

Tips for Success

• Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and flavor.
• If the batter becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
• For a protein boost, mix in a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter before blending.
