Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 1 large ripe banana, mashed
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
• Fresh berries and extra honey for serving

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the rolled oats and milk, blending until the oats are finely ground and the mixture is smooth. Let it sit for 10 minutes, allowing the oats to soften.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, honey, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Pour the oat-milk mixture into the banana mixture, stirring to combine.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
6. Gently fold in the egg and melted butter or coconut oil until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
7. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
8. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Serve your Banana Oatmeal Pancakes warm, topped with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.

Helpful Tips:

• For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free oats and flour.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
• Add a handful of chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
• These pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

To complete your breakfast, pair these delightful pancakes with a refreshing glass of orange juice or a warm cup of coffee. For a savory contrast, you might add a side of scrambled eggs or turkey bacon.
