Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking

Method

  1. 1

    Prepare the dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the baking agents and spices.

  2. 2

    Mix the wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add in the milk, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet ingredients until fully combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine the mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are fine.

  4. 4

    Cook the pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
