Banana Oatmeal Pancakes Simple and Tasty Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter for cooking
• to taste Fresh banana slices, maple syrup, nuts, or berries for topping

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, pulse the rolled oats until they resemble a fine flour.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In another bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl, and add the all-purpose flour. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to prevent sticking.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
7. Flip the pancakes gently and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
8. Serve warm, topped with fresh banana slices, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of nuts or berries as desired.
