Ingredients

  • ½ cup oats (rolled or quick-cooking)

  • 2 bananas

  • 2 Happy Eggs

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • Coconut oil or butter (for cooking)

How to Make Banana Oat Pancakes

  1. Blend the Batter: Add the oats to a blender and blend until they resemble flour—this only takes a minute! Add the bananas, Happy Eggs, and baking powder to the blender and blend on high until smooth. Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to thicken.

  2. Heat the Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add a little coconut oil or butter to coat the pan.

  3. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon 2 small portions of batter onto the skillet for each pancake (or a bit more if you like larger pancakes). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges lift easily from the pan, then flip. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  4. Serve and Enjoy: Time to plate your pancakes and get creative with your toppings! Mix and match toppings or enjoy hot from the pan with butter! There are no wrong answers here!

Topping Suggestions

Take Banana Oat Pancakes to the next level with:

  • Fresh Fruit: Sliced bananas, berries, or even apple compote.

  • Nut Butter: Drizzle almond butter or peanut butter extra protein.

  • Crunchy Add-Ons: Add some chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes.

  • Syrupy Drizzles: Go classic with maple syrup or boysenberry syrup, or try honey for natural sweetness.

  • Indulgent Twist: Whipped cream and some cinnamon or chocolate chips are always a good idea!

Tips for Pancake Perfection
