Blueberry Banana Pancakes
These Blueberry Banana Pancakes combine ripe bananas, rolled oats, and Greek yogurt into a blended batter that's gently cooked to yield tender pancakes studded with fresh blueberries. Their mild sweetness and soft texture make them a satisfying breakfast or brunch option. The use of oats and yogurt adds a hearty element while the blueberry bursts provide a fresh contrast in flavor. They can be served simply with maple syrup and extra fruit for a wholesome start to the day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 banana ripe
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 egg large
- 3 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries fresh
- cooking spray
For serving: maple syrup, chopped bananas, blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray.
- Add all the ingredients(1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 large eggs, 3 tablespoons almond milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract) except for blueberries to a blender and blend high until the oats are pureed and the batter is smooth about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into a bowl and fold in the 1/2 cup fresh blueberries.
- Place a heaping 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake; cook for approximately 3 minutes or until the pancake is lightly browned. Flip each pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately, topped with maple syrup, bananas, and blueberries.
Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh are unavailable; fold them gently to avoid color bleed.
- Substitute plain yogurt for Greek yogurt if preferred.
- For a vegan version, replace yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use ground flax seed mixed with water instead of eggs.
- Quick oats may be used instead of rolled oats but may affect texture slightly.
- Make sure bananas are ripe to provide natural sweetness without extra sugar.
