Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour, certified gluten-free if needed
  • 1 tsp baking powder, gluten-free
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, or butter for cooking
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh berries

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mash the 2 mashed ripe bananas until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add 2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup milk to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix together the 1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free if needed oat flour, 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.

  4. 4

    Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb some of the liquid.

  6. 6

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the surface.

  7. 7

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  8. 8

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  9. 9

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the pan as needed.

  10. 10

    Serve warm with 1/4 cup maple syrup and 1 cup fresh berries if desired.
