Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (for drizzle)

Instructions

1. Blend rolled oats until they become a fine flour.
2. In a bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.
3. In another bowl, combine mashed banana, eggs, milk, and maple syrup, then mix well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet; swirl in some cinnamon for the swirl effect before flipping.
7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
8. While pancakes are cooking, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, then combine with maple syrup.
9. Serve pancakes warm, drizzled with the toasted walnut maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor: Try browning the butter before adding it to the pancake batter.

For the best texture, make sure your bananas are very ripe; the natural sweetness will enhance the flavor of the pancakes. If you want to make these pancakes vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and use plant-based milk.

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the toaster or microwave. You can also freeze them for longer storage—just separate each pancake with parchment paper before freezing to prevent sticking.
