Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats (GF)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp pink sea salt
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Start by adding all of your ingredients in a high speed blender. Layer all of the ingredients in the following order; ripe bananas, rolled oats, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, pink sea salt, and unsweetened almond milk. Blend for 30 seconds to a minute until all ingredients are blended together and smooth texture has been reached. Make sure there aren't are clumps or traces of banana or oats.

  2. Lightly grease a griddle or a large skillet with a bit of coconut oil. Bring to a heat at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or medium-high on stovetop. Once surface is heated, start pouring batter in increments of 1/4 cup. If using a griddle you can fit 3 pancakes at a time. If using a skillet you can cook 1-2 pancakes at a time depending on how large your skillet is.

  3. Cook pancake on the first side for 1-2 minutes or until you start to see bubbles forming on the batter. Using a spatula, gently flip pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. If you see smoke coming out of the surface, remove pancake immediately. Remove cooked pancakes from heated surface and keep warm. Repeat until the rest of the batter is all cooked through. You should end up with 9 pancakes.

  4. Serve pancakes while still warm and top with any preferred toppings. Place any leftover pancakes in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 4-5 days. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Tips and Substitutions:

    1. Use a griddle to make pancakes- if you don’t have a griddle and make pancakes on a regular basis, I highly recommend to invest in one. They are pretty cheap and great for making pancakes. Your pancakes won’t stick to the bottom and you can make more at a time.
    2. Look for the small bubbles that pop-up on pancakes while cooking them- This is a good sign that they are ready to be flipped. 
    3. Gently stick a spatula under the pancake when ready to flip- if it easily slides right through without getting stuck, this means the pancake is done on that side and ready to flip. If the spatula gets stuck and won’t easily slide under the pancake, don’t force it. Remove spatula and allow pancake to continue cooking for another few seconds.
    4. Keep cooked pancakes on a cooling rack if possible- This will help pancakes to evenly start to cool-down preventing them from getting mushy and will remain fluffy and soft.
    5. No coconut oil?- You can use any other oil you have to grease your griddle or skillet.
    6. Use ripe bananas- They will give your pancakes a natural sweetness.
