Ingredients

• 1½ cup Quaker oats (old fashioned rolled oats)
  

• 2 Free range eggs

• 2 medium ripe Bananas

• ½ cup Unsweetened almond milk

• 2 teaspoon Baking powder

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon Sea salt

• Olive oil

Directions

• Add all ingredients in the blender, blend until it’s smooth and let batter sit for about 2mins before pouring in a bowl

• Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup or fresh fruits.

Notes

• If the pancakes are browning too quickly or frying pan starts to smoke, this means that the heat is too high. If it’s on high heat, turn it down lower. I usually use medium heat and reduce the heat further if needed.
• Wiping the pan after each round and adding fresh oil also reduces the risk of the pancakes getting burnt.

Frequently asked questions

Can you freeze pancakes?

I prefer to eat pancakes fresh, but if you like to cook it ahead and freeze it, you can do that. To freeze pancakes, put them in lidded freezer-safe plastic containers and freeze for up to three months. The longer you freeze pancakes for, the more it loses taste and texture.
