Directions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the bananas, eggs, oats, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  2. Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a small amount of coconut oil.
  3. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings. Some great options include fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Blender
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Tips and Shortcuts

  • Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be. This allows you to skip any added sugars.
  • Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk (dairy or non-dairy) to thin it out.
  • Batch Cooking: Make a large batch and freeze leftovers for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. Just reheat in the microwave or toaster.

Recipe Swaps and Variations

  • Add-ins: Add a handful of blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fun twist.
  • Flour Substitute: You can use almond flour instead of oats for a different texture and flavor.
  • Spices: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.

How to Store Leftovers

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place a sheet of parchment paper between each pancake and freeze them in a zip-top bag. Reheat in the microwave or toaster when ready to eat.

Suggested Pairings

These banana pancakes are delicious on their own but can be paired with:

  • Fresh Fruit: Sliced strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi.
  • Yogurt: A serving of Greek yogurt on the side adds protein.
  • Nuts: Sprinkle with chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for added crunch and healthy fats.
  • Beverages: A cup of green tea or black coffee complements these pancakes well.
