AD

Ingredients

• 2 medium ripe bananas (best when they have lots of brown spots)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Let the batter sit in your blender while you heat your pan up.
2. AD
   Lightly coat a griddle with coconut oil, vegan butter or olive oil and place over medium heat. Once pan is hot, add 1/3 cup of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-4 minutes until pancakes slightly puff up and you see a few bubbles along the edges.
3. Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower the heat. I normally start on medium heat, then decrease to medium low later so that my pancakes don't burn. If at any point your griddle starts smoking, it means your pan is too hot.
4. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with more oil and remaining batter. Makes 9 pancakes total. Serves 3, 3 pancakes each.

Customize your pancakes

These healthy banana oatmeal pancakes are easy to make and easy to customize! Here are some great ways to make them your own:

• Mix-ins: after making the batter feel free to fold in your fav mix-ins like chopped pecans, diced banana, or even chocolate chips.
• Toppings: what’s a stack of fluffy pancakes without toppings?! I love adding pecans, banana slices and a drizzle of peanut butter + pure maple syrup. A dollop of yogurt would also be delicious!
• Make minis: make cute little mini pancakes by dropping just 1-2 tablespoons of batter onto your griddle at a time! You can also try these baby banana pancakes that are smaller and great for toddlers and babies.

Recipe Notes

To freeze these pancakes: place the pancakes on a baking sheet so they aren't touching and place in the freezer for 30 minutes, then place them in freezer safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to reheat, simply add pancakes to a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm.
