Sweet and Simple: Oat & Banana Pancakes with Almond Butter.
Craving a delicious, healthy breakfast that’s both naturally sweet and filling? Look no further than these oat and banana pancakes! Made with wholesome oats and ripe bananas, these pancakes are naturally sweetened, so you don’t need any added sugar.
– A pinch of salt– 1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)– 1 tbsp almond butter (for serving)– Optional toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, or extra almond butter
Prepare the Pancake BatterStart by mashing the ripe banana in a bowl until smooth. In a blender, combine the mashed banana, oats (or oat flour), eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and almond milk. Blend until smooth and well-combined, creating a thick batter.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with coconut oil or a small amount of butter. Pour small dollops of pancake batter onto the pan, spreading slightly to form round pancakes.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Be gentle when flipping, as the pancakes may be slightly more delicate than regular pancakes.
Once your pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate and top with a generous dollop of almond butter. For extra sweetness and flavor, you can add fresh fruit like berries or banana slices, and a drizzle of maple syrup for a touch of natural sweetness.
These oat and banana pancakes are the perfect balance of flavors—naturally sweet, soft, and a little nutty from the almond butter. The combination of oats and bananas provides fiber and energy to keep you full, while the almond butter adds healthy fats and protein.
