🍌 Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 8–10 pancakes)

  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 ½ cups oats (150 g) — rolled or quick oats
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk (any kind: dairy, almond, oat)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for cooking

🔪 Instructions

1. Make the Batter

You can use a blender (best texture) or mix by hand.

Blender method:

  1. Add oats first; blend into a fine oat flour.
  2. Add bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Blend until smooth and thick.
  4. Let batter rest 5 minutes to thicken.

By hand:

  • Mash bananas very well.
  • Stir in eggs and milk.
  • Add oats, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Mix until combined (texture will be chunkier).

2. Heat the Pan

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add a light coating of butter or oil.

3. Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake.
  • Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set.
  • Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Lower heat if they brown too fast.

4. Serve

Top with:

  • maple syrup
  • fresh banana slices
  • a sprinkle of cinnamon
  • nuts
  • yogurt
  • peanut butter

Serve warm and enjoy!
