Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium Ripe banana
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 0 Fresh berries or sliced fruit (optional, for topping)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a blender, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the oats are finely ground into a flour-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the blender into the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth but not overmixed. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with additional coconut oil or cooking spray if needed.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet to form pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Serve warm, topped with fresh berries, sliced fruit, or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
