A simple recipe for fluffy, plant-based pancakes using ripe bananas and oats for natural sweetness and texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup plant milk (almond or soy recommended)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon oil or vegan butter for cooking

Instructions

  1. Place the rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until they form a coarse flour consistency.
  2. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the mashed banana, plant milk, baking powder, cinnamon, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl.
  4. Whisk the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For gluten-free pancakes, ensure you use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
  • If you prefer thicker pancakes, let the batter rest for 10 minutes or add one tablespoon less plant milk.
  • For extra fluffiness, separate the wet and dry ingredients first, then gently fold them together.
  • You can substitute the maple syrup with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar if you prefer.
