Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m a huge fan of Jack Johnson.  There’s just something about his music that makes me want to live seaside and spend my life relaxing on a hammock.  I adore his voice. And just like it would be impossible to choose a favorite child, the same sentiment goes for choosing a favorite song of his…I just can’t do it!  I love them all so much!  I swear this post isn’t about Jack Johnson and his music, but I can’t make this recipe without singing “Banana Pancakes” to myself while whipping up these flapjacks. They’re incredible…just like the song 🙂

Banana Oatmeal Pancakes

Recipe by Autumn Calabrese (slightly adapted from the Fixate cookbook)

Ingredients

• 1 C. almond milk (any variation – sweet, unsweetened, or vanilla)

• 2 eggs

• 1 banana

• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

• 1 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

• 2 C. cooking oats

• OPTIONAL TOPPINGS

• Fresh berries

• Banana Slices

• Mini chocolate chips

• Fresh whipped cream

• Maple syrup

• Nut butter

Directions

• Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until well blended and smooth.
• Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray or grease with coconut oil.  
  Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet.  Cook for 2-3 minutes and then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until pancake is set.
• Repeat as many times…or pancakes…as needed!

Notes

• The longer the batter sits, the thicker the consistency will become, so you may need to add a couple of teaspoons of almond milk to the batter if you don’t plan on cooking an entire batch right away.
