Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oats, roasted steel-cut oats
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Place the oats in a blender or food processor until they have a fine flour-like consistency.
  • In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
  • Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana and whisk together until well combined.
  • Add the oat flour to the banana and egg mixture and stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Heat a pan over medium heat and pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the heated pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the oatmeal pancakes with toppings of your choice, such as nut butter, pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of honey.

Recipe Tips and Variations:

  • Add a pinch of cinnamon, peanut butter, vanilla extract, or ingredients like cacao nibs or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
  • Allowing the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking can help the oats soften and absorb more moisture, resulting in better consistency.
  • For those who don't use eggs, mix 1 tbsp of chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water for each egg. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it thickens and becomes gel-like. This mixture acts as a binder and provides some moisture too.

Notes

  • Steel-cut oats are heart-friendly and loaded with magnesium, regulating blood pressure and managing hypertension. They also boost enzyme function and energy levels.
  • Bananas are rich in nutrients like potassium, vitamins C and B6, dietary fiber, and magnesium. Incorporating bananas into pancakes gives them a fluffy texture and prevents them from becoming dry or dense.
