Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the warm berry compote:
  • 1 ½ cups (225g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup (60ml) water
  • Optional: splash of pure maple syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oat flour by adding 1 cup (90g) rolled oats to a blender or food processor and pulse until fine flour-like consistency, about 30 seconds. Avoid overblending.
  2. In the blender with oat flour, add 2 ripe bananas, 2 eggs, ½ cup (120ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add more milk if batter is too thick.
  3. Preheat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they dance and evaporate, pan is ready.
  4. Lightly grease skillet with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip gently and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  5. Keep cooked pancakes warm by placing on a plate and loosely covering with foil while finishing the batch.
  6. Make the warm berry compote by combining 1 ½ cups mixed berries, ¼ cup water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, simmer 5-7 minutes until berries break down and mixture thickens. Add maple syrup if desired.
  7. Serve pancakes stacked with warm berry compote spooned over the top immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Do not overblend batter to avoid dense pancakes. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness. Cook on medium heat and wait for bubbles before flipping to prevent breaking. The berry compote can be made while pancakes cook to serve warm. For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and oil.
