Estimated prep time: Six minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana (the more ripe the banana, the more “banana-y” they will taste!)
- 1 rounded tablespoon peanut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 cup rolled or instant oats*
- ⅓ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- flax (optional)
- water
Directions:
Peel and mash the banana in a medium bowl. Add egg, cinnamon, vanilla, and peanut butter. Finally, add the oats. *Use rolled oats for a more hearty texture or instant oats for a smoother texture. Slowly add water in increments to create desired consistency. Pour in spoonfuls onto a heated, lightly oiled skillet. Cook each side until brown.
Good to note: If you’re used to conventional mixes or bleached flour, These pancakes will have a slightly darker color once cooked, which is normal. Add a little flax or other berries to make them even healthier or add chocolate morsels for a special treat. Top with pure maple syrup, berries, or honey and enjoy!
