Description
Healthy and delicious banana oatmeal pancakes made with simple ingredients. These fluffy pancakes are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and packed with fiber from oats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare bananas – In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy with minimal lumps
- Step 2: Combine ingredients – Add rolled oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, and cinnamon to the bowl. Stir until well combined
- Step 3: Heat skillet – Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if necessary
- Step 4: Cook pancakes – Pour about half a cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form (about 3 minutes)
- Step 5: Flip and finish – Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Serve warm with desired toppings
Notes
- Use bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness and easier mashing, which creates better flavor
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow oats to soften and absorb moisture
- Keep heat at medium to prevent burning while ensuring the inside cooks through completely
- Don’t overmix the batter as this can make pancakes tough instead of fluffy and tender
