Equipment

Ingredients

2 cups whole-grain, gluten-free oats (rolled/old fashioned, not instant)
2 medium very ripe bananas, broken up into chunks (approximately 6 ounces each without the peel)
1 ¼ cups unsweetened, plain almond milk
2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
vegan butter or refined coconut oil, for greasing the pan
optional toppings of choice: vegan butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit

Instructions

Add the oats to a food processor or high-powered blender and blend on high speed until the consistency resembles a fine flour.
Add all remaining ingredients to the food processor/blender and blend until well combined. If the batter seems to thick you can add a little bit more almond milk and blend again.
Place a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a little vegan butter or coconut oil. Ensure the pan has heated up fully before adding the batter. You can test this by dropping a tiny amount of batter into the pan - it should sizzle immediately when it hits the surface. Drop approximately ¼ cup batter into the pan at a time, allowing it to spread out into a circle.
Cook each pancake over medium to medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on one side and then flip using a turner spatula and cook for 1-2 minutes on the other side. Pancakes should be golden brown. Note that you may need to add more vegan butter or coconut oil to the pan after cooking a few pancakes to prevent sticking.
Serve as desired.
