Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Unsalted butter or coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oat flour by pulsing 1 1/2 cups (135g) rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine flour forms, about 30 seconds.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon (if using), and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Add eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.
  4. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to thicken and hydrate the oats. Add more almond milk if batter is too thick.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small pat of butter or a teaspoon of coconut oil to coat the surface.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. To keep pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (90°C) oven.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the oats for better texture. Use medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes before they cook through. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and oil.
