Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place rolled oats in a blender and pulse until they become a fine flour-like consistency.
- Add ripe banana, almond milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract to the blended oats. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and well-combined, creating a uniform pancake batter.
- Gently fold half of the blueberries into the batter, reserving the remaining berries for topping.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of coconut oil or cooking spray if needed.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to form a circular shape.
- Cook pancakes for approximately 2-3 minutes on the first side, watching for small bubbles to form on the surface, which indicates it's time to flip.
- Carefully flip each pancake and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and top with remaining fresh blueberries.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally drizzling with pure maple syrup or additional plant-based toppings.
Tips
- Blending Technique: Ensure your oats are ground into a super-fine "flour" for the smoothest pancake texture. A high-powered blender works best.
- Batter Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more almond milk. If too thin, let it sit for a minute or add a few more oats.
- Heat Control: Use medium-low heat to prevent burning. Patience is key for perfectly golden pancakes.
- Blueberry Distribution: Fold blueberries gently to avoid breaking them and creating a purple batter. Save some for topping for a beautiful presentation.
- Non-Stick Surface: A well-seasoned cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan works best. Use minimal oil to keep the pancakes healthy.
- Flipping Trick: Wait for small bubbles to form on the surface before flipping. This ensures even cooking and that signature fluffy texture.
- Meal Prep Hack: These pancakes freeze beautifully! Stack with parchment paper between layers for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
