I am constantly on the hunt for healthy breakfast recipes to make for my son. He usually eats breakfast at day care during the week so I like to make recipes that I can make in one large batch to have on hand for easy packing every morning.
These blender pancakes were SUPER EASY to make. The sweetness from the banana was so perfect that they were delicious as-is, you don't even need syrup! My son loved them so much he gobbled down EIGHT pancakes for Sunday breakfast! The only bad thing is that he ate so many that we dint have much left to last for his breakfast this week.
These pancakes are gluten-free, sugar-free, and can be made vegan by swapping out the milk for non-dairy milk.
Here is the recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!
Ingredients
1 cup old-fashioned oats
4 TBL ground flax
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 ripe medium bananas, cut into chunks
1cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
1 tsp cinnamon (or more if you prefer)
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Puree banana and milk in blender. Next add in oats, flax, baking powder and salt and blend for another 30-60 seconds. If the batter is on the runny side you can let it sit for a few minutes. The flax will really thicken it up. If its too thick, you can add a little water until you get it just right (about a tablespoon at a time as needed).
Next heat up a skillet over medium heat and add in some coconut oil once the pan is hot. I made silver dollar pancakes so I was just dropping in dollops of the batter to the pan right from the blender. You can use a spoon or spatula to spread out the pancake batter to form each pancake. Cook the pancakes for 2-4 minutes, flip, then cook for another 1-2 minutes. Continue to add in more oil to the pan as you make more pancakes.
I served the pancakes plain to my son and he loved them. I tried one myself with a little melted coconut oil and splash of maple syrup and it was very tasty (if you like that extra sweetness).
