Banana Oat Pancakes

(gluten free, nut free, dairy free)

This banana oat pancake recipe is possibly the simplest, quickest, and tastiest pancake recipe I’ve ever made! With only 5 staple ingredients, you can whip these up in 10 minutes in the morning with minimal effort and clean up.

Ingredients you need for these Banana Oat Pancakes:

• banana, ripe
• whole egg (or egg whites)
• vanilla
• oat flour
• baking powder
• cinnamon (optional)

I highly recommend also adding some fun mix-ins (blueberries, chocolate chips) and toppings (maple syrup, homemade nut butter, fresh fruit) to these pancakes! You may also mix in a spoonful of chia, hemp, or ground flaxseed for some healthy fats.

How do I make homemade oat flour?

All you do is blend any kind of oat (thick rolled, steel cut, or quick cooking) in a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour. That’s it!

Notes

*Make your own oat flour by blending oats into a fine flour!

Make it Vegan: Replace the egg with 3 tbsp aquafaba. The texture of the pancake won’t be as fluffy, but it will still work!

Make it Gluten Free: Use gluten free oats.
