How to make these Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the full recipe.

• Place all the ingredients in a blender or a food processor.

• Whizz until completely smooth.

Tip: Make sure not to over-blend the mixture as that will make the oats become very sticky.

• Heat up a tiny bit of oil in a frying pan (non-stick is best) and add a few tablespoons of the pancake batter.

Tip: Control the amount of oil you use by using a spray-on oil or rubbing a piece of greased kitchen paper over the bottom of the frying pan – too much oil will make the pancakes ragged at the edges, and too little will make them hard to flip over.

• Cook on a low-medium heat for a few minutes until you see little bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake.

Tip: Use a non-stick frying pan so that the pancakes don’t stick to the bottom of the frying pan!

• Flip over and cook for another few minutes, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Tip: Use a spatula to flip over the pancakes.

• Repeat for the rest of the batter – makes around 8 pancakes.

Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

• you can use any type of plant-based milk: almond milk, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, oat milk etc
• you can use any type of oil to fry the pancakes: coconut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil
• you could add chocolate chips to the pancake batter
• you could add fresh or frozen berries to the pancake batter: blueberries, raspberries etc
• you can add some ground cinnamon for more banana bread flavour!

How long do these Banana Oatmeal Pancakes keep for?

Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to a couple of days – just reheat in the toaster or a dry frying pan.

Can these Banana Oatmeal Pancakes be frozen?

• They can be frozen and last for about a month in the freezer.
• I would suggest wrapping them separately in cling film or keeping a layer of baking paper in between each pancake if you want to take them out of the freezer one at a time, otherwise you’ll end up with a solid block of pancakes!
• Either reheat in a toaster straight from frozen or leave to thaw at room temperature for about half an hour then reheat in a dry frying pan.
