Kitchen Tools Needed
Measuring Spoons
Measuring Cups
Blender
Spatula
Skillet or Griddle
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 banana (ripe with spots on the skin)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Blend the Batter:
Add the eggs, banana, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla, water, oats, baking powder, and salt to a blender, starting with the liquid ingredients for easier blending. Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping as needed to scrape down the sides.
Heat the Skillet:
Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking. The skillet is ready when a splash of water sizzles immediately upon contact.
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear in the center. Keep the heat low to ensure the center cooks through without burning the exterior.
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter. If the batter thickens while sitting, use the back of a spoon to spread it out in the pan as needed. Avoid adding extra liquid, as this may make the texture gummy.
Serve and Store:
Serve the pancakes warm with fresh fruit and maple syrup, if desired. Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster for a quick and easy breakfast!
