Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions:
- Blend the oats: If using rolled oats, blend them in a blender or food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency. If you’re using oat flour, you can skip this step.
- Make the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the oat flour (or blended oats), mashed banana, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the pan: Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and melt the coconut oil or butter.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour a small amount of batter onto the heated pan, forming pancakes of your desired size. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, honey, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Enjoy your healthy, homemade oat pancakes!
