  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10 pancakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for cooking

To Serve

  • Maple syrup, to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oat Flour: Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until they form a fine meal with a flour-like consistency.
  2. Make Batter: Add the sliced bananas, eggs, melted butter, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the blender. Blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until everything is well combined. If the batter is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of milk and blend again until you achieve a slightly thick and lumpy texture that runs easily off a spoon.
  3. Heat the Pan: Warm a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a knob of butter to grease the pan.
  4. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook for about 3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface. Carefully flip with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Keep Warm: Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven at 200°F (93°C) if making multiple batches.
  6. Serve: Serve pancakes warm immediately with maple syrup, or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • For a thinner batter, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moist texture.
  • You can customize by adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or berries into the batter before cooking.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking batches, store them on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven.
  • Freezing pancakes in layers separated by parchment paper makes them easy to reheat in the toaster or microwave.
