Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/3 cup oat flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp Chocolate chips chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp butter, coconut oil (or cooking spray)
Optional Toppings:
- Fruit banana, strawberries, blueberries…
- Nut butter
- Pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Peel the banana and break it into several big chunks. Place in a small bowl and mash banana with fork (or potato masher), until no large chunks remain and it resembles a paste.
- Whisk egg into the banana until well incorporated. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract, mix.
- Heat griddle pan on medium heat. Once it heats up grease the pan with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray.
- As the pan is heating, add oat flour and baking powder into the same bowl as the banana mixture and stir until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour about 1/4 of the batter for each pancake onto the pan, leaving space between them (should make 4 small-medium sized pancakes). If you are using any add-ins, sprinkle evenly on each pancake. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, until light golden brown. Flip the pancakes and cook for additional 3-5 minutes.
- Transfer pancake to a serving plate. Enjoy with desired toppings such as pure maple syrup, dollop of yogurt, drizzle of peanut butter, walnuts, sliced bananas or other fruit, or honey.
