Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium banana
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoons coconut oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a blender, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, egg, banana, baking powder, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some liquid, which will thicken the consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or butter to grease the surface.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it slightly with the back of a spoon if needed to create an even round shape.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to lift. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
