Ingredients
Scale
2 large very ripe bananas
1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for flavor)
Cooking spray or butter for the griddle
Instructions
Place the rolled oats into a blender. Blend until the oats reach a fine, flour-like consistency. This step is key for fluffy pancakes.
Add the ripe bananas, eggs, and optional cinnamon to the blender with the oat flour. Blend until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
Let the batter rest in the blender pitcher for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows the oats to absorb moisture, which helps create a fluffier texture.
Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Pour the batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes, using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
Using very ripe bananas provides the necessary sweetness, meaning you skip refined sugar.
For extra protein, you can add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese to the blender with the other ingredients.
If you prefer a thinner batter, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or water until you reach your desired consistency.
