Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats or quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 medium ripe banana the riper, the better; sliced into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus more for brushing the skillet if needed
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • Thinly sliced banana, maple syrup, almond butter or peanut butter Optional serving suggestions

Method
 

  1. Preheat an electric skillet to 375°F, or proceed to step 3 for stovetop instructions.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend at medium-high speed for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth, then set aside.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat if not using an electric skillet. Test the surface with a drop of water until it sizzles, and brush with melted butter if the surface is not non-stick.
  4. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake, leaving space for expansion. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and the edges appear matte.
  5. Flip the pancakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding butter and lowering the heat to medium-low if the pancakes brown too quickly.
  6. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200°F oven.
  7. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat stacked pancakes wrapped in a paper towel in the microwave.

Notes

Batter Consistency: I have found that oat batter thickens quite a bit as it sits, so if the mixture looks too stiff toward the end, I simply stir in a splash of extra water
