Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • ½ cup oats
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds
  • Pinch of cinnamon

For Cooking

  • Coconut oil for cooking (about 1 tsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Combine the banana, oats, eggs, water, seeds, and cinnamon in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a medium skillet on high heat and add about a teaspoon of coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat up, then reduce the heat to medium to prevent burning.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Spoon about one tablespoon of batter per pancake onto the skillet, forming four pancakes across the surface. Cook for around 3 minutes until the sides turn golden and the pancakes firm up enough to flip easily.
  4. Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Serve warm, either plain or accompanied by nut butter, fresh fruit, or yogurt as desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and easier blending.
  • Oats can be quick oats or rolled oats; if using whole oats, blend them first to a finer texture before combining.
  • You can substitute water with milk (dairy or plant-based) for a creamier batter.
  • These pancakes are soft and perfect for babies learning to eat solids, but adults can enjoy them too.
  • Use coconut oil or any mild oil suitable for cooking pancakes to prevent sticking and add a subtle flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of water to get batter consistency suitable for pouring but not too runny.
