Ingredients

  • 2 Banana
  • 100 g Oats
  • 2 Egg
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 20 g Butter
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 3 tbsp Maple syrup (optional)

Method

  1. Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork until nearly smooth.
  2. Crack the eggs into the mashed banana and beat until combined.
  3. Stir the oats, baking powder, and salt into the wet mix until evenly blended.
  4. Let the batter rest 5 minutes so the oats absorb moisture and thicken.
  5. Melt a little of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams.
  6. Spoon small rounds of batter into the pan, spacing them apart.
  7. Cook the pancakes until bubbles break the surface, then flip and brown the other side, repeating with the rest of the batter.
  8. Stack the pancakes on plates and pour over the maple syrup.

About Banana Oat Pancakes

Banana oat pancakes are a flourless take on the breakfast stack, built from mashed banana, oats, and eggs blitzed or stirred into a batter. With no wheat flour and no added sugar beyond the fruit itself, they lean on ripe bananas for sweetness and on oats for body, which gives them a heartier, slightly nubbly texture than the fluffy diner kind. Baking powder lifts them just enough, and a short rest lets the oats drink up moisture so the batter thickens into something spoonable and cohesive.

They cook like any pancake — small rounds in foaming butter over medium heat, flipped once the surface bubbles break — but they brown quickly thanks to the banana's sugars, so a moderate pan matters. The flavor is gently sweet and toasty, with real oat chew, and they hold up to a pour of maple syrup, a smear of nut butter, or a handful of berries. Fast enough for a weekday and forgiving enough to double, they're a good answer when you want something warm and homemade but don't want to haul out flour and a proper mixing station.
