Effortless Banana Oat Pancakes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Essential Items
01 -
2 big eggs
02 -
1 cup of quick or regular oats
03 -
2 bananas that are nice and ripe
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab your bananas, peel them, and toss them in a big bowl. Mash them up really well using a fork or a masher—keep going until they’re as smooth as you can get them. Don’t want any lumps? A blender works too, just give them a quick spin.
02 -
Take your cup of oats and the two cracked eggs, and throw them into the mashed banana mixture. Stir it until it's all mixed nicely and makes a consistent batter.
03 -
Pop the mixture into a blender if you want smoother cakes. If you’d prefer chunkier pancakes with more texture, don’t blend and just leave the batter as is.
04 -
Heat up a non-stick pan or a flat griddle over medium heat. When it’s warmed up, lightly grease it with a bit of oil or a quick spray to stop sticking.
05 -
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake right onto the hot skillet. Spread the batter out a bit to flatten it. Cook for around 2-3 minutes, letting bubbles appear on the surface and edges firm up.
06 -
Use a small spatula to gently flip each pancake over. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden and the pancake is done all the way through.
07 -
Serve your pancakes warm with whatever toppings you love—maple syrup, fresh berries, yogurt, or even a drizzle of peanut butter.
# Notes:
01 -
These simple pancakes take just three ingredients and make for an easy, healthy start to the day.
02 -
Super ripe bananas (the spotty ones) will add natural sweetness. That means no sugar is necessary!
03 -
You can prep the batter ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to a day.
