These delicious eggless and flourless pancakes are perfect for anyone looking for a gluten-free breakfast option. Made with oats and bananas, they are naturally sweet and incredibly easy to prepare!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
-
Mash the Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Make sure there are no large lumps for a better pancake texture.
-
Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
-
Pour the Batter: Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
-
Cook Until Bubbles Form: Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
-
Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve Warm: Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
Tips
- Storage: Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or berries to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
Enjoy your delicious eggless and flourless pancakes! Perfect for a healthy breakfast or a delightful brunch treat.
