Ingredients
  

For the pancake batter
  • 1.5 cups 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, ground into oat flour
  • 2 medium 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 0.5 cup 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Use if desired
  • 1 pinch Pinch of salt
  • as needed Butter or oil for cooking Unsalted butter or coconut oil recommended

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the oats until you get a fine, flour-like consistency, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few lumps for texture.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk of choice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a light coating of oil.
  2. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  3. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Enjoy with your favorite toppings such as pure maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

Don't skip the resting time for the oats—this helps with fluffiness! Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave.
