Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, add ripe bananas, rolled oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable; if it’s too thick, add a little extra milk, one tablespoon at a time.
- Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly and the baking powder to activate.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Preheat a Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil.
- Pour the Batter: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread it out slightly with the back of a spoon if needed to form a circle.
- Cook Until Bubbles Form: Cook the pancake for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is used.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Stack the Pancakes: Stack the pancakes on a plate, adding any of your favorite toppings.
- Add Toppings: Top with sliced bananas, fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
Tips for Perfect Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
- Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter your pancakes will be. This reduces the need for additional sugar.
- Adjust Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little extra milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Preheat the Pan Well: Make sure your pan is hot enough before pouring the batter to get a nice golden color on each pancake.
- Double the Recipe: These pancakes freeze well, so make a double batch and freeze the extras for a quick breakfast option!
These Banana Oatmeal Pancakes are not only a delicious breakfast treat but also a nutritious way to start your day. Enjoy the rich banana flavor and the satisfying texture of oats in every bite!
