Ingredients

• 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
• 1 ripe banana (about 4 oz/115g)
• 3/4 cup (180ml) almond milk or oat milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon (2g) ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil or coconut oil (for cooking)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the rolled oats and blend until they form a fine flour.
2. Add the banana, almond or oat milk, egg, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little vegetable or coconut oil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup (60ml) of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, extra maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tip

For extra flavor, add a handful of blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
