Ingredients Method Notes

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.

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat and Grease: Heat your griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  • Batch Cooking: These pancakes are great for meal prep. Cook a large batch and store for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Storing: Keep leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to a month.
  • Reheating: Warm them in the microwave or toaster for a quick and convenient breakfast option.
