How to Make Healthy Oat Banana Pancakes
- In a blender, combine rolled oats, milk, ripe banana, egg, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, then let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, until they turn golden brown and feel fluffy.
- Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed to ensure easy flipping.
- Serve the pancakes warm topped with sliced banana and a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
Optional: Add fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra splash of flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast treat.
