Ingredients:
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 cups rolled oats (GF if needed)
- 3/4 cup + 3 tbsp oat milk or any plant-based milk (sweetened or unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Instructions:
1. In a high-speed blender, combine the bananas with the rolled oats, oat milk, maple syrup (if using), apple cider vinegar, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and has a thick, pourable consistency. If the batter is too thick, feel free to add a splash more milk.
2. Stir in the blueberries and allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period will let it thicken further. If it becomes too thick to pour, simply mix in a little extra milk.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with coconut oil, or skip this step if you have a reliable non-stick surface.
4. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown.
5. Serve your pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as desiccated coconut,agave, additional blueberries, and creamy peanut butter. Enjoy!
