Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup oats
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk of choice (more as desired to thin out batter)
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (more to taste)
- 2-3 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
Optional Add-ins
- Chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare Oat Flour: Process the oats in a blender or food processor until they reach a fine flour-like consistency. This step is optional but recommended for smoother texture in the pancakes.
- Make the Batter: Add the ripe banana, egg, milk, sea salt, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and optional maple syrup or honey into the blender with the oat flour. Blend until all ingredients are fully combined. If the batter appears too thick, add an additional tablespoon or two of milk to thin it out.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or pancake griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour the batter onto the hot surface. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on each pancake. Cook until the edges bubble and the bottom is golden, then flip and cook the other side until done.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with fresh fruit, butter, and an extra drizzle of real maple syrup for added sweetness if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
- To make vegan, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) and use plant-based milk.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sweetener amounts to your taste preference.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding batter to get a nice golden crust.
- The batter can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but give it a good stir before cooking.
