Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional, for topping)
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a blender, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. Whisk together until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the blender into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth but not overmixed. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional coconut oil or cooking spray if needed.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
