How to Make Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
Step 1: Blend the Batter
1️⃣ In a blender, combine bananas, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
2️⃣ Blend until you get a smooth, slightly thick batter.
📌 No blender? You can mash the bananas with a fork and mix everything manually, though the texture will be a bit chunkier.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
1️⃣ Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and grease lightly.
2️⃣ Pour small rounds of batter onto the pan.
3️⃣ Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form on the surface.
Tip: Cook on low-medium heat to avoid burning while keeping the inside soft.
Step 3: Serve & Enjoy!
Top your healthy banana oatmeal pancakes with:
- Honey or maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, or apples)
- Peanut butter or almond butter
- Chopped nuts for extra crunch
These pancakes are naturally sweet and delicious on their own, but toppings make them even better!
