Wholesome and satisfying banana oat pancakes packed with protein, perfect for a quick and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats, ground into oat flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk of choice
  • Cooking oil or butter for skillet

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats in a blender or food processor and pulse until fine, flour-like texture.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk gently to combine.
  4. Stir in the oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional), and a pinch of salt until just combined.
  5. Adjust batter consistency by adding more milk, one tablespoon at a time, if too thick. Batter should be thick but pourable.
  6. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking oil or butter.
  7. Pour 1/4 cup (60ml) batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Serve pancakes warm with desired toppings.

Notes

Do not overblend oats to avoid gummy texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Avoid overmixing batter to keep pancakes tender. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Flip pancakes only once. For vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free yogurt and plant-based milk.
