Learn how to make these easy and nutritious banana oatmeal pancakes. Makes the perfect amount for a single serving. Filled with plenty of plant fiber to support healthy digestion.

Breakfast food is definitely a favorite of mine. Making time for brunch with friends and family is one of my most enjoyable experiences. Brunch usually consists of either pancakes or waffles, in addition to all the yummy extra’s like omelets, lattes, mimosas, etc.

What I love about these banana oatmeal pancakes is that they have simple and wholesome ingredients. It’s likely you may already have the ingredients on hand. The recipe is quick and easy, bringing you a quality brunch-like experience for yourself at any point during the week.

All the ingredients go straight into your small food processor or smoothie blender making clean-up a breeze. Top pancakes with your favorite nuts, seeds, nut butters, fruit, etc.

Some of my favorite pancake (or waffle) toppings include the following: chia seed, hemp hearts, walnuts, almond slices, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, berries, sunflower seeds, cocoa nibs, almond butter, cashew butter, tahini. By adding some of the toppings listed above you get the benefit of added fiber (some also include protein and healthy omega-3,-6 fatty acids).

Ingredients:

1 medium banana (Tip: place banana in the fridge overnight; a cold banana helps to thicken the mixture)

1 Egg

1/2 c Rolled Oats

1/2 tsp ground flax seed

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Small pinch of sea salt

Directions:

Using a small food processor or blender, add all ingredients and blend (puree) until combined (about 30 seconds). Scrap the sides down with a small spatula, as needed, and blend until all ingredients are incorporated. You should have a batter that is slightly thick and slowly runs off the spatula.

Next, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Spray pan with oil, as needed. Pour about 1/4 c of batter into the pan to make about 3 pancakes at a time. Cook on one side for about 2-3 minutes then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until both sides a golden brown. Follow the same process until all batter is used.

Arrange pancakes on a plate. Add some toppings like fresh berries, hemp seed hearts, nut butter drizzles.
