# Ingredients:
→ Pancake Ingredients
01 -
2 medium ripe bananas (best when they have lots of brown spots)
02 -
2 eggs
03 -
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
06 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
07 -
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 -
¼ teaspoon salt
09 -
Olive oil, for cooking
# Instructions:
01 -
Add all ingredients (bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt) to a blender. Blend on high speed until the batter is completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Allow the batter to rest in the blender while you heat your cooking surface.
02 -
Lightly coat a griddle or non-stick pan with olive oil, coconut oil, or vegan butter and place over medium heat. Allow the surface to become properly heated before adding the batter.
03 -
Once the pan is hot, pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the pancakes slightly puff up and you see a few bubbles forming along the edges.
04 -
Carefully flip each pancake and cook until golden brown on the underside, about 2-3 minutes more. If you notice the pancakes browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low. If the griddle starts smoking at any point, the temperature is too high.
05 -
Wipe the cooking surface clean between batches if necessary. Add a bit more oil and repeat the process with the remaining batter. This recipe makes approximately 9 pancakes total, serving 3 people with 3 pancakes each.
# Notes:
01 -
These pancakes are naturally gluten-free (when using certified gluten-free oats), dairy-free, and contain no flour or added sugar.
02 -
The riper your bananas are, the sweeter your pancakes will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for best results.
03 -
To freeze these pancakes, place them on a baking sheet so they aren't touching and freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months.
04 -
To reheat frozen pancakes, simply place them on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds until warm.
