Description

Ever wondered how to turn ripe bananas into a quick, nutritious, and fluffy breakfast treat? These pancakes will blow your mind—in the best way.

Ingredients

2 very ripe bananas (the spottier, the better!)
1 large egg
3 tbs of quick oats or rolled oats
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
¹⁄₂ tsp of vanilla extract (optional)
Butter or coconut oil for greasing the skillet

Instructions

Mash the bananas in a medium bowl using a fork until smooth.

Add the egg, oats, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Whisk everything until well combined.

Stir in the baking powder last, mixing gently.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (around 350°F) and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.

Use a spoon to drop small portions of the batter into the skillet, forming mini pancakes.

Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden and firm.

Serve warm with your favorite toppings: honey, yogurt, or fresh fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I make these pancakes vegan?

Yes! Just replace the egg with an extra 1/2 mashed banana or 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water. Let the flax mixture sit for 5 minutes before adding.

Can I use another type of flour instead of oats?

Absolutely. You can substitute quick oats with almond flour, whole wheat flour, or even all-purpose flour. The texture may change slightly, but it still works great.

How do I store and reheat leftovers?

Let the pancakes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or pop them in the toaster for a quick warm-up.
