1/4 cup sliced banana, for garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Blend 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats in a blender or food processor until a fine flour forms. This step is crucial for achieving the fluffy texture of your 3-Ingredient Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes. Set aside.
02 -
In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash 1 large ripe banana. Add 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
03 -
Add the blended oat flour from Step 1 to the wet ingredients. Stir in 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
04 -
For the best 3-Ingredient Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to fully absorb the liquid, resulting in a thicker, more cohesive batter and fluffier pancakes.
05 -
Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil/cooking spray). Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
06 -
Stack your freshly cooked 3-Ingredient Fluffy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes on plates. Drizzle with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup and top with 1/2 cup fresh mixed berries, 2 tbsp almond butter, and 1/4 cup sliced banana for garnish.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine and help keep the pancakes tender.
02 -
For a gluten-free option, ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free. Any plant-based milk works great for a dairy-free version.
03 -
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave.
04 -
Feel free to customize toppings with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
