Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas The riper, the better
  • 1 cup rolled oats Can substitute quick oats, but avoid steel cut
  • 1 cup plant milk Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk work well
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder For fluffiness

Preparation

  2. Stir in the plant milk and vanilla extract (if using).
  3. Add the rolled oats and baking powder to the banana mixture.
  4. Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.

  2. If desired, add a little oil to the pan.
  3. Spoon in the batter and wait for bubbles to form before flipping.

Notes

Leftover pancakes can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the toaster. You can freeze them flat and reheat for busy mornings.
