Ingredients Quantity

For approximately 8 pancakes:

  • Rolled oats: 1 cup
  • Ripe banana: 1 large
  • Apple: 1 small, grated
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 1/3 cup (dairy or plant-based)
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: A pinch
  • Coconut oil or butter: For cooking

Optional Additions

  • Nuts: Chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
  • Seeds: Chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrients.
  • Spices: A pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
  • Toppings: Fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.

Tips for Success

  1. Use ripe bananas: Ensure your banana is overripe for maximum natural sweetness.
  2. Consistency matters: Blend the oats to a coarse flour consistency for smoother pancakes.
  3. Rest the batter: Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken before cooking.
  4. Low heat is key: Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
  5. Grease lightly: Use minimal oil or butter to avoid soggy pancakes.

Instructions

  1. Blend the oats: Place rolled oats in a blender and process until a coarse flour forms.
  2. Prepare the wet mixture: In a bowl, mash the banana. Add grated apple, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and mix well.
  3. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Mix the blended oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt with the wet mixture until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  5. Serve warm: Top with your choice of optional toppings and enjoy!
