Ingredients

• 150 grams rolled oats
• 250 milliliters almond milk
• 1 large, ripe banana
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by grinding the rolled oats into a fine flour. Use a blender or food processor and blend until the oats resemble a flour-like consistency.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.

Step 3

Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed banana and whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Add the oat flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes dense.

Step 5

Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes. This will give the oat flour time to absorb the liquids, resulting in thicker, fluffier pancakes.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium heat. Once hot, lightly grease with vegetable oil.

Step 7

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter out gently if necessary.

Step 8

Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 10

Serve the oat pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
