How to Make the Recipe
Making these fluffy pancakes is a breeze! Here’s how to do it:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the ripe bananas, rolled oats, eggs, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until smooth and well combined. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if desired.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter. Stack and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your pancakes turn out perfectly:
- Make sure your bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Let the batter sit for a few minutes; this helps the pancakes become fluffier.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; give each pancake enough space to cook evenly.
- Experiment with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor!
How to Serve
These banana pancakes are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them even more! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Drizzle with pure maple syrup for a classic touch.
- Add fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas on top.
- Sprinkle with nuts or seeds for added crunch.
- Pair with a dollop of yogurt for a creamy texture.
Make Ahead and Storage
If you want to enjoy these pancakes throughout the week, here’s how to store them:
- Cooked pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, place parchment paper between pancakes and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
