Sugar-Free Oatmeal Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

• • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 eggs

• • 1/4 cup milk (any type)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

• • Pinch of salt
  • Olive oil or butter for cooking
  • Optional: cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor

Directions:

• Prepare the Oatmeal Batter:
  • • In a blender, combine the ripe banana, oats, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
    • Blend until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.

   

• Cook the Pancakes:
  • • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.
    • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake.

   

  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve:
  • • Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.

   

Serving Suggestions:

• • Top with fresh berries or sliced bananas for a naturally sweet breakfast.

• • Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein.
  • Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if you want a touch of sweetness.
  • Add some chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for crunch.

• Serve alongside a smoothie or fresh juice for a full breakfast.

Cooking Tips:

• • Make sure your banana is ripe for maximum sweetness and creaminess.

• You can use oat flour instead of rolled oats for a smoother texture if preferred.
• Keep the pancakes small and cook them on medium heat to prevent burning.
