Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Non-stick pan / cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large banana, ripe and spotty
  • 1 ¼ cups oat flour * (use GF if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Oil, for cooking

Optional add-ins

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen berries

Instructions
 

To prepare in a bowl

  • In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until pureed (it's ok if there are small clumps). Then add the eggs and whisk together until well combined.
  • Next, add oat flour and baking powder. Mix again until a smooth batter formed.

To prepare in e blender

  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet or a non-stick pan heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of the batter. Use a spoon to form a circle.
  • Let the pancakes cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges appear dry. Carefully flip, and cook for 2 more minutes on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter until all pancakes are done, adding more oil when needed.

Notes

Storage
Fridge: Let pancakes cool to room temperature. Transfer to a container, and cover with a lid. Save in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Let pancakes cool to room temperature. Transfer to a covered container, layering parchment paper between each layer of pancakes to prevent them from sticking. Freeze for 3 months. 
To reheat
Stovetop: To a frying pan, a bit of oil, and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add pancakes and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Microwave: Add pancakes to a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.
Oven: Pre-heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Lay pancakes on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until warmed through. If your pancakes are frozen, you will need to bake them for longer!
*To make oat flour: place rolled oats in a blender or a food processor and blend for 1 minute or until a fine flour is formed. Then, measure out 1 ¼ cups.
