Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas The key to natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 1 cup rolled oats For a hearty texture.
  • ¼ cup plant-based milk Any type will work, such as almond, soy, or oat.
Optional Additions
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For an extra flavor boost (not included in the 3 ingredients).
  • a pinch cinnamon If you enjoy a bit of spice.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork for a creamy consistency.
  2. Add the rolled oats and plant-based milk. Stir until combined. If desired, add vanilla or cinnamon at this stage.
  3. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to soak up the milk.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Optionally, add a light coating of cooking spray or oil.
  2. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look slightly dry.
  3. Flip the pancakes gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
  4. Remove from skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for the best flavor. If batter is too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk. Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for later enjoyment.
