Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 large egg
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup milk dairy or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cooking spray or avocado oil for the pan
Instructions
- Blend the rolled oats, banana, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes so the oats absorb the liquid.
- Heat a lightly greased nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles appear and the edges begin to set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, or sugar-free maple syrup.
Notes
- Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Let the batter rest for fluffier pancakes.
- Cook over medium-low heat to prevent burning.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a toaster, skillet, or microwave before serving.
