Description
Healthy and delicious banana oatmeal pancakes made with natural sweetness, protein-packed eggs, and heart-healthy oats, topped with fresh berries.
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- ½ cup berries
Instructions
- Mash the Banana: In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth. A few small lumps are fine, but you want a mostly creamy consistency.
- Add Eggs and Peanut Butter: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana and whisk them together. Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined.
- Incorporate Oats: Add the rolled oats to the mixture and stir well. Let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes so the oats absorb some moisture.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour spoonfuls of the batter onto the pan, forming small pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping once bubbles form on the surface.
- Serve with Berries: Once the pancakes are golden and cooked through, plate them and top with fresh berries. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Try almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a different flavor.
- For extra texture, sprinkle with chopped nuts or drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
- These pancakes freeze well—place parchment paper between pancakes and freeze for up to 3 months.
- For fluffier pancakes, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the batter.
