Ingredients
Scale
Pancake Batter
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
For Cooking
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Add the oats, banana, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, which should take about 30 to 45 seconds. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes so it can thicken slightly.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Immediately drop a few blueberries onto each pancake while it cooks. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches. Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup, extra blueberries, or a dollop of yogurt for added richness.
Notes
- To make these pancakes dairy-free, substitute the Greek yogurt and milk with non-dairy alternatives such as coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk.
- Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated quickly in a toaster or microwave, making for a convenient breakfast on busy mornings.
