Ingredients
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups (measured)
rolled oats
1 cup (measured)
brown sugar
1/4 cup (packed)
baking powder
1 teaspoon (measured)
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon (measured)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (measured)
milk
1 1/2 cups (measured)
eggs
2 (beaten)
ripe bananas
2 (mashed (about 3/4 cup))
butter
3 tablespoons (melted)
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons (measured)
vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (for greasing skillet)
Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten eggs, mashed bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
4
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes; this allows the oats to absorb moisture and the pancakes to become fluffier.
5
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil using a brush or paper towel.
6
For each pancake, pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and bubbles form on top of the pancake without bursting.
7
Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute on the other side until golden brown.
8
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed to the skillet to prevent sticking. Serve warm with maple syrup or your choice of toppings.
