Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Easy and Healthy Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• a pinch salt
• as needed coconut oil or butter for cooking
• optional toppings: maple syrup, sliced bananas, berries, or nuts

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the rolled oats, mashed banana, milk, egg, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency. If the batter seems too thick, you can add a splash more of milk to loosen it.
2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to grease the surface.
3. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set.
4. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown.
5. Continue the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as needed.
6. Serve warm with your choice of toppings like maple syrup, sliced bananas, fresh berries, or chopped nuts.
