Ingredients
- 1 large potty-brown banana
- ⅔ cup rolled oats gluten-free certified if needed
- 2 large eggs
- Optional: ½ teaspoon cinnamon or ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients into a blender and blend on high for 20 - 30 seconds until fully combined. Let the batter sit for 3 - 5 minutes (to thicken).
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan with non-stick spray.
- Pour about ¼ – ⅓ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1 – 2 minutes until the edges are crisp and firm up. Since oat flour is denser than all-purpose flour, bubbles will not form on the tops of the pancakes. To check if they are ready to flip, gently lift with a spatula to see if bottoms are browning.
- Gently flip and cook the other side for about 1 minute. Don’t overcook them.
- Serve immediately with banana slices, fresh fruit, maple syrup, nut butter, or honey!

Notes
- Rolled Oats: I reccomend using old-fashioned rolled oats, but you can use quick oats as well. Do not use steal-cut oats.
- Mix-Ins: Option to add blueberries, chocolate chips, or banana slices to the pancake batter in the pan.
- Let the Batter Sit: This is my #1 tip. Allowing the pancake batter to rest for 3 to 5 minutes is crucial for optimal fluffiness since this recipe has no baking powder. Oat flour needs time to absorb the liquid properly.
- Freeze for Later: If you have leftovers, individually wrap and freeze the pancakes. Reheat in a toaster for a quick and convenient breakfast.
- Watch for Browning: Oat flour’s density means bubbles won’t form on top of the pancakes when ready to flip. To check readiness, gently lift with a spatula to see if the bottoms are browning.
