Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup), and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the pancakes tough.
Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak slightly, which will make the pancakes more tender.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the scoop to gently spread the batter if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or additional honey or maple syrup.
