Blender Oat Pancakes (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Things You Need for Pancakes
01 -
A couple of medium bananas that are really ripe (look for lots of brown spots)
02 -
Two whole eggs
03 -
Half a cup of almond milk (unsweetened)
04 -
One teaspoon of vanilla extract
05 -
One and a half cups of rolled oats (go gluten-free if you need)
06 -
Two teaspoons of baking powder
07 -
Half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon
08 -
A quarter teaspoon of salt
09 -
A little olive oil to cook with
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss your bananas, eggs, almond milk, vanilla, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a blender. Hit the high-speed setting and let it go for about half a minute to a full minute until the batter’s smooth as can be. Leave it sitting in the blender while you warm your pan or griddle.
02 -
Rub a bit of olive oil, coconut oil, or even vegan butter onto a warm griddle or non-stick pan. It should be on medium heat. Wait until it’s properly heated up before pouring any batter.
03 -
Once your cooking surface is ready, spoon out about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Let the pancakes cook for 2-4 minutes. Watch for a few bubbles and the edges puffing up slightly.
04 -
Flip them with care and let the other side cook until it gets a nice golden brown, usually another 2-3 minutes. If they’re browning too fast, turn the heat down to medium-low. If you see smoke, the pan’s probably too hot!
05 -
If you think it’s needed, wipe down the griddle between rounds. Use a bit more oil and keep repeating until all the batter's used up. You’ll end up with around 9 pancakes, serving 3 people with 3 cakes each.
# Notes:
01 -
These pancakes are free of gluten (if you’re using gluten-free oats), dairy-free, have no added sugar, and no traditional flour.
02 -
The riper the bananas, the sweeter the pancakes. Pick the ones covered in brown spots for the best outcome.
03 -
For storing, freeze the pancakes lying flat on a baking sheet first (make sure they don’t touch) for half an hour, then stash them in airtight containers and freeze for up to three months.
04 -
When you’re ready to eat frozen pancakes, just microwave them on a plate for 30 to 60 seconds until they’re warm.
