Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oats
Optional Mix-ins and Toppings
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Mix-ins like blueberries, walnuts, pecans, raisins, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips
- Syrup, butter, or peanut butter for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet on low heat to prepare for cooking the pancakes.
- Blend Batter: Combine the ripe bananas, eggs, and oats in a blender and blend on low speed until smooth for a fluffy batter.
- Prepare Skillet: Grease the skillet with cooking spray, oil, or butter to prevent sticking and pour about one-sixth of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook First Side: Allow the pancakes to cook thoroughly on one side. If using mix-ins like nuts or berries, gently press them into the uncooked side of each pancake before flipping.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until fully done and golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve warm with your choice of syrup, butter, peanut butter, or other favorite pancake toppings.
Notes
- Using a blender for mixing creates fluffier pancakes by thoroughly combining and whipping the eggs and bananas.
- Enhance flavor by adding a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or cinnamon to the batter.
- Incorporate mix-ins such as blueberries, walnuts, pecans, raisins, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips by pressing them onto the uncooked side instead of mixing them in.
- To freeze pancakes for later, cool completely then store in an airtight container or freezer bag with parchment paper between each pancake. They keep well for several months.
