Description
Start your mornings with our Banana Oatmeal Pancakes! Quick, nutritious, and utterly delicious, they’re perfect for a wholesome breakfast. Dive into the goodness of bananas and oats in every bite.
Ingredients
- Old-fashioned oats (1 cup): Provides a chewy texture and is a source of fiber.
- Ripe banana (1 large): Adds natural sweetness and moisture.
- Eggs (2): Acts as a binder and contributes to the fluffiness.
- Baking powder (1 teaspoon): Helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
- Milk (3/4 cup): Adds creaminess and helps blend the ingredients smoothly.
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon): Infuses the pancakes with a warm, aromatic flavor.
- Salt (a pinch): Enhances the overall taste.
- Cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon): Offers a subtle spice that complements the banana.
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Place the banana, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs into the blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth mixture, ensuring there are no large banana chunks left.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is well combined and smooth, yet retaining a slight texture from the oats.
- Preheat and Grease: Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and continue with the remaining batter. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- Variety: Feel free to add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor and texture.

- Storing: Keep leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month.
