FLUFFY OAT & BANANA PANCAKES

Someone should write a song about this

These banana pancakes are my lucky recipe for Sunday mornings (or Monday afternoons, it doesn’t really matter because banana pancakes are ALWAYS delicious..). I love whisking these lovely ingredients together and serving perfectly fluffy banana pancakes while saying “Guess what’s inside!”, to then surprise with a short and straight-forward list of healthy foods. Usually, you can also hear me singing “banana pancakes” by John Mayer which gets me into instant holiday mood – which is why I can definitely recommend making these babies on a rainy Monday, it will keep your positive spirits flowing!

Servings: 1

Total time: 10 min

For the pancakes

Ingredients

4 eggs

2 very ripe medium-sized bananas

50 g of rolled oats

a sprinkle of cinnamon

coconut oil for the pan

serve with

coconut yoghurt

peanut butter

granola

maple syrup

fresh berries

Instructions

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the eggs, bananas, rolled oats and cinnamon. If you prefer to make the batter by hand, squish the bananas in a medium-sized bowl with a fork, add the eggs and whisk until the mixture is well combined. Next, stir in the oats and add the cinnamon. Note that your batter will remain chunky and turn out less fluffy (but wasn’t fluffiness the point?). 

2. Heat a medium or large frying pan and melt 1 tsp of coconut oil in it. Once the pan is hot and the oil has fully liquefied, pour in 4-6 banana pancakes, about the size of your palm. 

3. Fry the pancakes for ~2 minutes before turning to the other side. A good way to check whether the pancake is ready for turning is to see if the upper side of batter has solidified a bit. Fry for another 1-2 minutes on the second side until the pancakes have a nice golden/brown colour. 

4. Serve while hot and add your favourite toppings such as granola, toasted nuts, fresh fruit, maple syrup, peanut butter, coconut yoghurt and whatever else you can think of. Bon Appétit!
