Instructions
-
Prepare the Oat Flour: Begin by placing the instant oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into a mixer or blender. Blend these ingredients until they form a fine flour, ensuring a smooth texture for your pancakes.
-
Create the Batter: Next, add the ripe banana, buttermilk, and vanilla extract to the mixer jar containing the oat flour. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter, adjusting the consistency as needed. If the batter appears too thick, feel free to add a few extra tablespoons of buttermilk to loosen it.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over low to medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil. Once the griddle is hot, use a spoon to drop about 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the surface.
-
Flipping the Pancakes: Allow the pancakes to cook on low heat, flipping them carefully once bubbles start to form on the surface, ensuring both sides are golden brown. Given that these pancakes can brown quickly, maintaining a lower heat will help them cook through without burning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Oat Banana Pancakes warm, topped with freshly sliced strawberries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an irresistible finish. For an even heartier breakfast, consider pairing them with Instant Masala Beans Idli and a cup of Masala Chai, creating a vibrant breakfast spread that is sure to delight.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes
- Choosing Bananas: Use ripe bananas with a few brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Consistency Matters: Adjust the buttermilk amount according to your preference for pancake thickness; thicker pancakes can be made with less buttermilk, while a thinner batter will yield lighter pancakes.
- Make it Ahead: These pancakes can be made in batches and stored in the refrigerator or freezer for quick breakfasts throughout the week. Simply reheat them in a toaster or microwave before serving.
With these Oat Banana Pancakes, you can enjoy a delicious, nutritious breakfast that is not only satisfying but also filled with wholesome ingredients that your body will appreciate. Whether for a leisurely weekend brunch or a busy weekday morning, these pancakes will surely become a beloved addition to your breakfast repertoire!
