Banana Oat Lapper (Small Pancakes)

We arrived back home from Kragerø yesterday, and I discovered we still had those two bananas – those two bananas which were not green enough for me on Friday and certainly not today. I thought to myself; what does one do with spotty bananas? And I concluded that the best (and easiest) thing to do was make banana pancakes. I must admit, they turned out quite well and I had a great time photographing them as well:) This recipe requires only four ingredients and then I like to add spices and toppings, but that’s really up to you. Get ready!

Ingredients:

2 small ripe bananas or 1 large ripe banana

1 dL oat flour (you can also just grind oats in your food processor or blender first)

3+ dL plant based milk (I used oat)

2 tsp chia seeds

a small drizzle of vanilla

a big drizzle of cinnamon

toppings: nut butter (almond, peanut, etc.), berries, whatever you like to have on your pancakes

Method: see pictures below for comfort and moral support

Mix all the ingredients in a blender until they form an even batter with no banana lumps.
Heat a pan to medium-high heat with some vegan butter (or oil) and start with one little test-pancake. This implies that you cook one pancake first to make sure the batter has a decent consistency. These do take a bit more time to cook than regular pancakes, so you should turn the heat down as the pan starts to get quite hot. I cooked most of mine at medium-low heat.
Uhm..cook the rest of the pancakes? Make sure they’re not too large as they might just fall apart. Like the rest of your life right now. Sorry, I’m joking – we have exams at school next week.
Line them up on a plate all fancy like I did or stack them on top of each other. The latter option is often what one finds on Pinterest or Instagram, but I find this leaves too little surface area to cover in nut butter and berries. I will let you decide what to do with your pancakes. Your welcome.
