How to make healthy Banana Pancakes
Step 1 – Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until a smooth, slightly thick batter is formed. Make sure not to blend the batter too much or you will get “gummy” tasting pancakes.
Step 2 – Fold in some chocolate chips or blueberries. Yum!
Step 3 – Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray.
Step 5 – Pour the pancake batter onto the hot skillet using a 1/3 cup measuring cup (this yields exactly eight pancakes).
Once the tops start to bubble a little, flip and cook the other side until nice and brown, takes about 1-2 minutes per side based on how hot your pan is and how large you make the pancakes.
Top with fresh fruit, more chocolate chips, and warm maple syrup.
Expert Tips for making healthy homemade pancakes
- Don’t over-mix the batter – This will result in “gummy” tasting pancakes and nobody wants that. We want fluffy, pancake deliciousness, right? If you want extra fluffy pancakes from this recipe then, blend only the banana and oats and then add them to a mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients and lightly stir to combine.
- Use quality ingredients – Good, ripe bananas, quick-cooking oats, unsweetened applesauce, and good vanilla extract really make these pancakes shine without any butter or flour.
- Cook the pancakes in even size’s by using a measuring cup to pour the batter. This will help yield even cooking times.
- Use a countertop griddle or cast iron pan to cook the pancakes. Using a griddle or cast-iron pan will result in a nice crisp outer crust and a soft, fluffy center. YUM!!!
- Mix in some extras like chocolate chips or blueberries for added flavor.
