Ingredients
- 80 g Rolled oats
- 1 large Banana (ripe)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Blend the batter
Add oats, banana, eggs, baking powder, and vanilla to a blender. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 2 minutes.
Cook the pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with a touch of coconut oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip.
Serve
Stack the pancakes and top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- — Use very ripe bananas — the brown spots mean more natural sweetness and better binding.
- — Don't over-blend — 20-30 seconds is enough. Over-blending makes the batter too runny.
- — Keep the heat at medium — too high and the outside burns before the inside cooks through.
Variations
- Low-carb version: Reduce or swap the carb source for extra vegetables or cauliflower rice.
- Higher protein: Add an extra serving of protein or a side of Greek yogurt.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overcooking: Watch the timing carefully — overcooked ingredients lose texture and nutrients.
- Under-seasoning: Healthy food should still taste great. Don't skip the seasoning step.
How to Store
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
What to Serve With This
- Side salad: A fresh green salad with lemon vinaigrette adds volume and vitamins.
- Water or herbal tea: Stay hydrated with a calorie-free beverage to complement this meal.
