Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free oats
- 1 banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of gluten-free oats, 1 ripe banana, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy), and 1 tablespoon of honey if you prefer added sweetness.
- In a blender, combine the gluten-free oats, banana, eggs, baking powder, and milk. If you are using honey, add it to the mixture as well.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
- Once the batter is smooth, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly. This will help the pancakes hold their shape better when cooking.
- While the batter is resting, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking if desired.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through. You can adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or additional honey, if desired.
