Directions

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

I add the oats, ripe banana, egg, baking powder, and salt to my blender or food processor. I blend everything for approximately 30 seconds until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Add Peanut Butter

If I want peanut butter pancakes, I add some peanut butter directly to the blender and blend again until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Fold in the Add-Ins

I gently fold in chocolate chips, berries, or other favorite additions. I especially love chocolate chips because they add little pockets of sweetness.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

I heat a lightly greased skillet over medium-low heat. I pour small portions of batter into the skillet and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

I transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve them warm. My favorite toppings are fresh strawberry slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, and sugar-free syrup.
