Banana Oat Pancake

Ingredients:

Makes 4-6 pancakes

• 2 ripe bananas

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Cooking spray or butter, for greasing the pan

• Greek yogurt and berries, for serving

Instructions:

1. Blend the Oats: Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until they form a fine flour-like consistency.

2. Prepare the Batter: Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the bananas using a fork until smooth. Add the blended oats, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix everything together until well combined and a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for a few minutes to allow the oats to soften slightly.

3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking spray or butter.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Once the pan is hot, pour small portions of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges begin to set.

5. Flip and Cook the Other Side: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Serve or Store: Serve the banana oat pancakes warm, topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh berries. If prepping in advance, allow the pancakes to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

On-the-Go Option: These blended banana oat pancakes are perfect for meal prepping in advance and enjoying on the go. Simply pack a few pancakes in a container along with a small portion of Greek yogurt and a handful of berries..
