Banana Oat Pancakes (Printable Version)

Fluffy, protein-rich pancakes made with ripe bananas and hearty oats for a wholesome breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 2 large ripe bananas
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 1 cup rolled oats
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
06 - Pinch of salt
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ For Cooking

08 - 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil or neutral oil

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and no banana chunks remain.
02 - Add oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the blender. Pulse until fully combined and batter reaches a mostly smooth consistency, allowing some oat texture to remain.
03 - Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with oil, using just enough to prevent sticking.
04 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear across the surface and edges appear set and firm.
05 - Carefully flip each pancake and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and completely cooked through. Transfer to a serving plate.
06 - Serve pancakes warm. Top with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, or honey as desired.
