Easy and healthy chocolate banana oat pancakes
Description
The batter is prepared by pureeing peeled bananas, eggs, rolled oats, baking powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth or slightly textured depending on preference. Allowing the batter to stand for 10-20 minutes thickens it and improves pancake texture. Alternatively, the batter can be made the night before and stored in the refrigerator.
Cooking spoonfuls of batter on a heated non-stick pan produces pancakes with a tender center and slightly crispy edges. The cocoa powder adds a gentle chocolate note that complements the banana’s natural sweetness.
Accompanying the pancakes, mixed berries are macerated with honey and a bit of water to release juices, providing a fresh, fruity topping. These pancakes balance oat wholesomeness with fruit and cocoa for a satisfying breakfast option.
Ingredients
- 2 banana
- 2 egg
- 1/2 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder raw
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
for the macerated berries
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the peeled banana, eggs, oats, baking powder, cocoa powder, vanilla and salt.
- Allow to blend until the mixture is as smooth as you want it and blended well. Allow the batter to stand for 10-20 minutes until thickened slightly. (Alternatively make the batter the night before and keep in a sealed container in the fridge.)
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry spoonfuls of the batter until golden brown on both sides.
- To make the macerated berries, combine the berries (slice the strawberries if using) with the honey and water and allow to stand for 10-15 minutes until the berries have started releasing their juices.
- Serve the pancakes with the macerated berries or simply with a drizzle of maple syrup.
