Oat Pancakes
The Ultimate Healthy Oat Pancakes
Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 2 (makes about 6 pancakes)
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats (blended into flour)
- 1 large Ripe banana (mashed)
- 2 Large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for a vegan version)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Coconut oil for the pan
Instructions
- Make the Oat Flour: Place the dry rolled oats into a high-speed blender and pulse until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Combine: Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Pro Tip: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes; this allows the oats to hydrate, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Heat the Pan: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet with coconut oil over medium-low heat.
- Cook: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack them up and top with fresh berries, a drizzle of nut butter, or pure maple syrup.
