The Best Healthy Pancakes

For a while now, I’ve been seeing “2-3 ingredient pancakes” all over instagram. For the most part, they all consist of Bananas, Eggs, and an additional ingredient which could be baking powder, cinnamon, or vanilla. When I stumbled upon this recipe from Ambitious Kitchen for Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes — made in the blender — I knew I had to give it a try.

These fluffy healthy pancakes are naturally gluten free, dairy free and contain no flour or added sugar. they are absolutely delicious (even my husband agrees!).

INGREDIENTS

2 medium ripe bananas (best when they have lots of brown spots)

2 eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

RECIPE PREPARATION

Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Let the batter sit in your blender while you heat your pan up. Lightly coat a griddle with coconut oil, vegan butter or olive oil and place over medium heat.

Once pan is hot, add 1/3 cup of the batter to the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2-4 minutes until pancakes slightly puff up and you see a few bubbles along the edges.

Flip cakes and cook until golden brown on underside. If you find that pancakes are browning too quickly then you need to lower the heat. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with remaining batter.

Makes 9 pancakes total.
