Ingredients
Scale
Batter Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Egg White
- 1 Banana
- 2 Tablespoons 100% Real Maple Syrup
- 1 1/2 cups Rolled Oats (Gluten-Free if desired)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
Toppings
- Fresh Berries
- Real Maple Syrup
- Chocolate Chips
- Fresh Banana Slices
- Sliced Almonds
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a blender, combine the almond milk, eggs, egg white, ripe banana, maple syrup, vanilla (if using), rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up. Once hot, lightly coat the surface with non-stick cooking spray, coconut oil, or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour the pancake batter onto the skillet in round circles of your desired size. Cook each pancake for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until bubbles start to form and the edges look set.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully turn over the pancakes using a spatula and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with Toppings: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and drizzle generously with real maple syrup. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, chocolate chips, sliced bananas, or sliced almonds for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor.
- Rolled oats can be substituted with gluten-free oats if needed to keep the recipe gluten-free.
- If you prefer a thinner batter, add a splash more almond milk before cooking.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
- Customize toppings as desired—these pancakes pair well with nut butters, yogurt, or fresh fruit.
