Starting your day with a delicious and healthy breakfast can make all the difference. These fluffy banana oat pancakes are a fantastic way to fuel your morning, offering a sweet treat that’s also good for you. They are easy to make and perfect for a relaxed weekend breakfast or even a quick weekday meal.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (any kind works)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Step By Step Making
- In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until it’s smooth.
- Add the rolled oats, milk, egg, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed banana.
- Stir everything together until well combined. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes so the oats can soften.
- Heat a lightly oiled or buttered pan over medium heat.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings like fruit, syrup, or yogurt. For a savory twist that complements sweet flavors, you might enjoy pairing them with something like our Sourdough Sandwich Rolls, perhaps toasted on the side.
