Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup oats
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Peel the ripe banana and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
- Using a fork, thoroughly mash the banana until it becomes smooth and creamy with minimal lumps.
- Add the two large eggs to the mashed banana and whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour in the oats, then sprinkle the baking powder and cinnamon over the mixture. Stir all ingredients until a consistent batter forms.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the pancake batter onto the heated surface. Allow each pancake to cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with remaining batter.
- Serve warm, drizzled with pure maple syrup. Optional: Garnish with fresh banana slices or additional cinnamon.
Tips

- Use a fork to thoroughly mash the banana to avoid large lumps in your batter
- Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning
- Wait for small bubbles to form on the pancake surface before flipping
- Don't overcrowd the pan - give each pancake enough space to cook properly
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the batter
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the rest
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for the best results
- Experiment with toppings like fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon
