Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 2 (about 8 pancakes) • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 250

2 ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coconut oil or cooking spray for the pan
Fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey for serving

Steps

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, rolled oats, eggs, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract.

Step 2

Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth and thick pancake batter.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or cooking spray to lightly grease the surface.

Step 4

Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. You can make the pancakes as small or large as you like.

Step 5

Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface.

Step 6

Gently flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are cooked.

Step 8

Serve the Banana Oat Pancakes warm, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

Make it your own!

Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the pancake batter for extra crunch and nutrition.
Stir in some dark chocolate chips or fresh blueberries into the pancake batter for a delightful twist.
For a vegan version, replace the eggs with flax eggs (mix 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons water, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken).
