Description
These wholesome banana oat pancakes use only ripe bananas for natural sweetness, containing zero added sugar. They are simple to make in a blender, perfect for a healthy breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 medium ripe bananas with lots of brown spots
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Coconut oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Add rolled oats to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until you create a fine flour.
- Add the ripe bananas, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the blender with the oat flour.
- Blend on high speed for 45 to 60 seconds until the batter is completely smooth and well combined.
- Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken slightly and allow the baking powder to activate for extra fluffiness.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-low heat and add a tablespoon of coconut oil or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, using the back of a spoon to spread it slightly if needed.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until the edges are set and small bubbles form across the surface.
- Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes on the opposite side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while finishing the remaining batter.
- Serve the warm pancakes immediately topped with fresh banana slices, berries, a drizzle of nut butter, or a light touch of maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for maximum natural sweetness.
- Cook the pancakes over medium to medium-low heat to prevent burning.
- Let the batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes for fluffier results.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- For serving suggestions, use fresh sliced bananas, fresh berries, natural nut butter, or pure maple syrup.
