Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil or butter for greasing the pan
Directions
Step 1
Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until they become a fine oat flour.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick; if it seems too thick, add an additional tablespoon or two of almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Step 6
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use a spatula to spread the batter slightly into a circular shape, as it may not spread on its own.
Step 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or an additional drizzle of maple syrup.
