Starting your day with a delicious and energizing breakfast is key to a good mood and productive day. These banana oat pancakes are super easy to make and taste amazing, giving you the perfect boost to tackle whatever comes your way.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: Cinnamon, vanilla extract
- For cooking: Oil or butter
Step By Step Making
- Mash the ripe banana in a bowl until it’s smooth.
- Add the rolled oats, milk, egg, baking powder, and salt to the bowl with the banana. If you like, add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Mix everything together well until you have a nice batter. Let it sit for about 5 minutes so the oats can soften a bit.
- Heat a lightly oiled or buttered pan over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Flip them when you see bubbles forming on the surface.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
