Banana Oat Pancakes
These Banana Oatmeal pancakes were born in a moment of mental anxiety. The prior day had gotten away from me and I had failed to get to the store for milk, cereal, bread… some essential breakfast ingredients for a growing family of seven.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups old-fashioned oats
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk, room temperature
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup coconut oil, liquid form (may need to heat to melt)
- 2 cups ripe banana, mashed
Instructions
- Heat griddle to 300°F. The pancakes are thick so the temperature needs to be a bit lower so they do not burn.
- Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, flaxseed, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix together eggs, milk, water, and oil. Gently stir wet ingredients into dry and combine until JUST incorporated. Add in bananas and stir until combined.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated griddle.
- When bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes, flip. Serve immediately with butter and your favorite syrup.
