Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your Banana Oat Pancakes:
- Prepare the Batter
- In a blender, combine the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.
- Add the ripe bananas, eggs, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender. If using optional add-ins like cinnamon or sweeteners, add them now.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The batter should be pourable but not too runny.
- Preheat the Griddle
- Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Cook the Pancakes
- Pour a small amount of batter onto the preheated griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
- Serve Warm
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the rest.
