Description
This healthy banana oatmeal pancake recipe is a quick and easy breakfast option made entirely in the blender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas (best when they have lots of brown spots)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup (120g) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (143g) old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients—bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt—into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, which usually takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let the batter rest in the blender while you prepare your cooking surface.
- Lightly coat a griddle or non-stick skillet with olive oil, coconut oil, or vegan butter and place it over medium heat. Wait for the pan to become hot but avoid overheating to prevent burning your pancakes.
- Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the pancakes puff up slightly and bubbles appear around the edges.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side until golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed—reduce from medium to medium-low if pancakes are browning too fast. Avoid letting the pan smoke, which indicates it’s too hot.
- Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, add more oil and continue cooking with the remaining batter. This recipe yields about 9 pancakes, serving 3 people with 3 pancakes each.
