Ingredients
 

  • 1 large potty-brown banana
  • ⅔ cup rolled oats, gluten-free certified if needed
  • 2 large eggs
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon or 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 20 - 30 seconds until fully combined. Let the batter sit for 3 - 5 minutes (to thicken).

  • Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan with non-stick spray.
  • Pour about 1/4 – 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1 – 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and firm up. Since oat flour is denser than all-purpose flour, bubbles will not form on the tops of the pancakes. To check if they are ready to flip, gently lift with a spatula to see if bottoms are browning.
  • Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Don’t overcook them.

Notes

Rolled Oats: I reccomend using old-fashioned rolled oats, but you can use quick oats as well. Do not use steal-cut oats.
Mix-Ins: Option to add blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices to the pancake batter in the pan.
Let the Batter Sit: This is my #1 tip. Allowing the pancake batter to rest for 3 to 5 minutes is crucial for optimal fluffiness since this recipe has no baking powder. Oat flour needs time to absorb the liquid properly.
Freeze for Later: If you have leftovers, individually wrap and freeze the pancakes. Reheat in a toaster for a quick and convenient breakfast.
Watch for Browning: Oat flour’s density means bubbles won’t form on top of the pancakes when ready to flip. To check readiness, gently lift with a spatula to see if the bottoms are browning.
