Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or cinnamon (optional)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp heaping yogurt
- 1 tsp butter or coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Use a food processor, blender, or hand blender along with a bowl to combine all the ingredients: bananas, oats, eggs, yogurt, baking powder, and optional vanilla or cinnamon. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Pan: Place a large non-stick pan on medium heat and add butter or coconut oil to coat the surface. Make sure the pan is hot but not too hot to prevent burning the pancakes.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour the batter onto the pan, forming small, palm-sized pancakes. Reduce the heat slightly as the pancakes cook quickly and can burn if the temperature is too high.
- Flip When Ready: Wait until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip each pancake with a large spatula and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve right away. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, or additional butter for more flavor and texture.
Notes
- To save time in the morning, prepare the batter the night before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Stir well before cooking.
- The batter will thicken overnight because oats absorb liquid; add 1-2 tablespoons of water as needed to loosen it.
