Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup oats
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons yogurt (heaping)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or cinnamon (optional)
- 1 teaspoon 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 together until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the butter or coconut oil and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour the batter into the pan to form small, palm-sized pancakes. Reduce the heat slightly to avoid burning, as these pancakes cook quickly. Watch for bubbles forming on the surface and the edges looking set before flipping.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake using a large spatula when bubbles appear and edges are cooked. Cook the other side until it turns golden brown, then transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes immediately as is, or top them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, honey, or additional butter for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- For quicker mornings, prepare the batter the evening before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
- The batter will thicken overnight as oats absorb the liquid; stir well and add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out before cooking.
- Cooking at medium heat is important to avoid burning the pancakes because they cook quickly.
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.
